Sana'a - Saba: After disturbing the sleep of the leaders of the Zionist enemy entity, its allies and its settler herds, the head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, was martyred, joining the ranks of the great martyrs, a brave hero carrying his weapon and wearing his military quiver, depriving the enemy entity of the image of victory it had been searching for for years.
In this context, Commander Sinwar (may God have mercy on him) concluded his jihadist career that had continued since his youth for more than 40 years, proving the narrative that the Palestinians know of him as a fighting leader present in the field, and shattering the narrative of the Zionist enemy that had always tried to portray him as a fugitive hiding in tunnels.
And the leader Sinwar refused to do anything but continue his mission even when he was with his Lord as a martyr, as he ascended to his Lord as a martyr, fighting, advancing and not retreating, in an ending that pulsates with heroism and pride, and outlines the features of the path in the confrontation between the honest owners of the right and their criminal, usurping enemy.
The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourned in a statement, on Friday, the martyr Yahya Al-Sinour (Abu Ibrahim), head of its political bureau and commander of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, saying: “The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourns to our Palestinian people, to our entire nation, and to the free people of the world, one of the noblest and bravest men, a man who dedicated his life for Palestine, and sacrificed his soul for the sake of God on the path to its liberation.
God was truthful, so God was truthful to him, and chose him as a martyr along with his martyred brothers who preceded him. The movement added in its statement: “We mourn the great national leader, the martyred mujahid brother Yahya Al-Sinour (Abu Ibrahim), head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and commander of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, who ascended as a heroic martyr, advancing and not retreating, brandishing his weapon, engaging and confronting the occupation army at the forefront of the ranks, moving between all the combat positions, steadfast and firm on the land of proud Gaza, defending the land of Palestine and its holy sites. And inspiring in kindling the spirit of steadfastness, patience, and resistance.
The various Palestinian factions also mourned the martyr leader Yahya Sinwar, head of the political bureau of Hamas, who was martyred on Wednesday after a clash with a Zionist force in Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
On the 377th day of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, the martyrdom of the engaged leader was revealed, in a battle in which all the great world powers participated, with military and intelligence support that was about to change the face of the region, with its heroism and popular steadfastness in the face of the most heinous crimes of genocide in modern times.
In the legendary conclusion, which represents a new beginning, Sinwar appeared with his military quiver, his mask, his courage, his composure and his steadfastness, injured in his hand, so he tied it with an iron wire and resisted until his last breath, to depart proudly like his steadfast people and the mountains of Gaza, entrenched in the image of the brave hero.
This is the conclusion that the leader Sinwar wished for, expressed, and worked for, which is to attain martyrdom in the face of his enemy in defense of the honor of the entire nation, and he is the one who led the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, and his words still echo in the universe: “If we fear death, then we fear dying in our beds as a camel dies. We fear dying in traffic accidents or from a stroke or a heart attack, but we do not fear being killed for the sake of our religion, our homeland, and our sanctities, and our blood and souls are not more precious than the blood of the youngest martyr who gave his soul.” The Zionist enemy specifically sought to assassinate him with all its might during the past year, after accusing him of being the mastermind behind the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attacks on October 7, 2023. The enemy also sought to undermine his reputation and image, as he is the unique leader whose resolve never weakens and whose channel never softens. The picture showed the leader of Hamas's political bureau engaged in the front lines and in the most dangerous field, the first battlefront, leading the battle above ground, not as the Zionists claimed from the tunnels surrounded by prisoners.
Because the truth is what the enemies testified to, the picture came out from the hands of his killers, as proof that the leaders of the resistance offer their blood and defend their people with their lives, which they have always emphasized are not more precious than the lives of their steadfast, patient, and steadfast people despite the great affliction.
Who is the jihadist leader Yahya Sinwar:
Yahya Sinwar, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), born in 1962, was arrested by the Zionist enemy several times and sentenced to four life sentences before being released in a prisoner exchange deal in 2011, and returned to his activity in leading the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas).
He was elected as the movement's leader in the Gaza Strip in 2017 and again in 2021, and in 2024 he was elected as the movement's political bureau leader after the Zionist enemy assassinated his predecessor Ismail Haniyeh.
The Zionist enemy considers him the architect of Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa on October 7, 2023, which inflicted human and military losses on it and shook the image of its intelligence and security services in the eyes of the world, so it announced that his liquidation was one of the goals of its "Iron Swords" operation on the Strip, which came in response to Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa.
Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Al-Sinwar was born on October 19, 1962 in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, and his family was displaced from the city of Majdal in the northeast of the Strip after the Zionist enemy occupied it following the Nakba in 1948 and changed its name to "Ashkelon" (Ashkelon).
He received his education at Khan Yunis Secondary School for Boys, before joining the Islamic University in Gaza and graduating with a bachelor's degree in Arabic Studies.
He grew up in difficult circumstances and was affected in his childhood by the repeated attacks and harassment of the Zionist enemy against the residents of the camps.
He married on November 21, 2011, Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar, a Gazan woman who holds a master's degree in the fundamentals of religion from the Islamic University of Gaza. He has one son named Ibrahim.
Student activity helped him gain experience and shrewdness that qualified him to assume leadership roles in the Hamas movement after its founding in 1987 during the Intifada of the Stones.
He founded, with Khaled al-Hindi and Rawhi Mushtaha - commissioned by the movement's founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - in 1986 a security apparatus called the Jihad and Call Organization, known as "Majd".
The mission of this organization was to uncover and pursue agents and spies of the Zionist enemy, in addition to tracking down officers of the Zionist intelligence and security services. This organization soon became the first nucleus for developing the internal security system of the Hamas movement.
He was first arrested in 1982 for his student activities when he was 20 years old. He was placed under administrative detention for four months and was re-arrested a week after his release. He remained in prison for six months without trial. In 1985, he was arrested again and sentenced to eight months. On January 20, 1988, he was arrested again and tried on charges related to leading the kidnapping and killing of two Zionist soldiers, and killing four Palestinians suspected of collaborating with the Zionist entity. He was sentenced to four life sentences (a total of 426 years).
During his detention, he led the Supreme Leadership Committee of Hamas prisoners in prisons for two organizational sessions, and contributed to managing the confrontation with the Prison Service during a series of hunger strikes, including strikes in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004.
He was transferred between several prisons, including Majdal, Hadarim, Sabaa, and Nafha, and spent four years in solitary confinement, during which he suffered from stomach pains, and began vomiting blood while in solitary confinement.
He tried to escape from his prison twice, the first time when he was detained in Majdal prison in Ashkelon, and the second time while he was in Ramla prison, but his attempts failed.
Yahya Sinwar was released in 2011, and was one of more than a thousand prisoners who were freed in exchange for the Zionist soldier Gilad Shalit in what was called the "Wafa al-Ahrar" deal. The deal was concluded after Shalit spent more than five years in captivity in Gaza, and the enemy failed during its aggression against the Strip in late 2008 to free him from captivity.
After leaving prison, Sinwar was elected a member of the Hamas political bureau during the movement's internal elections in 2012. He also assumed responsibility for the military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and was responsible for coordinating between the movement's political bureau and the leadership of the brigades.
He played a major role in coordinating between the political and military sides of the movement during the Zionist aggression on Gaza in 2014. After the end of this aggression, he conducted comprehensive investigations and evaluations of the performance of field leaders, which resulted in the dismissal of prominent leaders.
In 2015, Hamas appointed him as the official in charge of the Zionist prisoners' file, and tasked him with leading the negotiations regarding them with the enemy. In the same year, the United States of America classified him as an "international terrorist", and "Israel" placed him on the list of those wanted for liquidation in the Gaza Strip.
On February 13, 2017, he was elected head of the movement's political bureau in the Gaza Strip, succeeding Ismail Haniyeh. During this period, he tried to repair relations between Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority led by the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) in the West Bank, and to end the state of political division in the Palestinian territories within a national reconciliation, but these attempts ended in failure.
In March 2021, he was elected head of Hamas in Gaza for a second four-year term in the movement's internal elections.
His house was bombed several times, as it was bombed and completely destroyed by the Zionist enemy's aircraft in 2012, during the aggression on the Gaza Strip in 2014, and then during Zionist air raids in May 2021.
Sinwar is described as a cautious personality, who does not speak much and rarely appears in public. He also possesses high leadership skills and has a strong influence on the movement's members.
After Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa on October 7, 2023, Yahya Sinwar became the number one wanted man by the enemy entity, in addition to Muhammad Deif, the commander-in-chief of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Eliminating the Hamas leader became the most important strategic goal of the Zionist military operation in the Gaza Strip, which it called "Iron Swords", as Zionist officials consider him the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023 attack.
On November 14, 2023, the British government imposed sanctions on Hamas leaders, including freezing assets and banning travel, including Sinwar. On November 30, 2023, the French authorities issued a decree freezing Sinwar's assets for six months.
Sinwar did not appear in public during that war, and the Zionist newspaper "Haaretz" reported that he met some of the Zionist prisoners during their detention in Gaza, and told them in fluent Hebrew that they were in the safest place and would not be harmed.
On December 6, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his army forces had surrounded Sinwar's house, but he was not reached.
On May 20, 2024, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, announced that he had submitted a request to the court to issue an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and his Minister of War Yoav Galant, and on the other hand Sinwar, Deif, and Haniyeh on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity following the events of October 2023.
On July 31, 2024, Hamas announced that "Israel" had assassinated the head of its political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, at his residence in the Iranian capital, Tehran, by bombing the apartment where he was with his companion. Haniyeh was in Tehran at the head of a delegation from the movement to participate in the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Peschikian.
After Haniyeh was buried in the Qatari capital, Doha, the movement began internal elections to choose a successor to Haniyeh, and announced on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, that its Shura Council had unanimously chosen Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of the movement.
On October 17, the leader Sinwar will depart, but his biography and words will remain a beacon that illuminates the path of the spear, and his prayers will continue to be chanted by free people around the world.
