The Israeli Defense Forces have released footage criticizing the Hamas leadership, denouncing a luxurious lifestyle that contrasts with the lives of the majority of people living in Gaza.
A woman walking through Gaza tunnels with a Hermès bag worth thousands of euros is the protagonist of a new video released by Israel to denounce the Hamas terrorist group and its leadership.
The woman in question is the wife of the now-deceased leader of this terrorist cell, Yahya Sinwar, reports The Economic Times.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage showing former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his family fleeing into a tunnel beneath their home in Khan Younis, hours before Hamas launched the October 7 attack.
At the time, Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar is seen carrying a Hermès Birkin bag worth approximately $32,000 [more than €29,000], a situation that is causing outrage.
IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee used the images to denounce the disparity, emphasizing the contrast between the Sinwar family's luxurious lifestyle and the difficult circumstances of an average Gaza resident.
“In the hours before the massacre, he was only concerned about himself and his family, while he sent terrorists to attack Israeli children, women and men,” the official said.
Born in 1962 in a refugee camp in the Gaza town of Khan Yunis, Sinwar was an early member of Hamas, which was formed in 1987, and eventually led the group’s security wing. Sinwar is believed to have carefully planned the October 7 attacks together with the head of the al-Qasam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, Mohamed Deif, who was killed in an Israeli strike last June in Mawasi, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Sinwar became Hamas’s top leader after Haniyeh was assassinated in a bombing in Iran in July that was blamed on Israel.
