Report: Sinwar’s whereabouts only known to select few who help convey his handwritten messages

Only a select few “trusted” individuals know where Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is, and he conveys messages to the rest of the terror group’s leadership via a series of intermediaries to avoid detection, according to Hamas sources cited by the London-based, Arabic-language Asharq al-Aqsat news site.

The report says Sinwar has been present in many places in Gaza throughout the war, issuing instructions to Hamas officials once every two weeks and sometimes even once a week, the report says.

In rare cases, a phone call has been arranged with special security protocols, the report adds. But more commonly, his orders and positions are delivered via handwritten messages or printed messages signed by him, transferred manually from person to person until they reach their destination.
