During a visit to an IDF base on September 11, 2024, Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant revealed significant findings from Gaza, including Hamas documents, computers, and weapons. As he presented the evidence, Gallant drew a stark parallel between Hamas and global terror organizations like ISIS and Al Qaeda, specifically referencing Yihiya Sinwar, Hamas’ leader in Gaza.
Gallant showed a picture discovered in tunnels in Khan Younis, depicting the children of Muhammad Sinwar posing against a backdrop of the September 11th attacks. “This picture shows what we have been fighting since October 7th,” Gallant said. He equated Yihiya Sinwar with Osama Bin Laden, calling him “the new Osama Bin Laden of Gaza.” Gallant vowed that Israel would locate and bring Sinwar to justice, either dead or in prison, in an effort to defeat Hamas and its terror network.–News Desk
