‘Megalomaniac’ Sinwar demanding renewed suicide bombings of Israel – report

After replacing Ismail Haniyeh as head of Hamas’ politburo, Yahya Sinwar has reportedly demanded the terror group resume suicide bombings in Israeli cities, leading some in Hamas to denounce Sinwar as a ‘megalomaniac.’

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar has demanded the terror group resume its use of suicide bombings inside Israeli cities, leading some within Hamas to describe Sinwar as a “megalomaniac,” The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Sinwar, who has commanded Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip since 2017, also took control over the terrorist organization’s politburo in August, following the assassination of his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh, in a bombing in Tehran.

According to Wednesday’s report, immediately upon taking control of the politburo, Sinwar pushed for the resumption of large-scale suicide bombing attacks against Israeli cities, a tactic which fell into decline at the end of the Second Intifada in the mid 2000s.

Days later, a Hamas terrorist died when a bomb he was carrying detonated prematurely in Tel Aviv.

Citing a handwritten letter from last month attributed to Sinwar, the Journal wrote that the de facto Gaza ruler has prepared for a lengthy terror campaign to “break Israel’s will,” and ultimately destroy the Jewish state.

Sinwar’s behavior has led to concerns among other senior Hamas leaders, who reportedly have described him as a “megalomaniac” who is too radical even for some in the fanatical Islamist Hamas.

Arab intelligence officials who claim to be communicate “regularly” with Sinwar told The Wall Street Journal that while prominent figures within Hamas fear Sinwar’s plan may be too “grandiose,” thus far none have openly defied his call for a new campaign of suicide bombings.

According to Washington Institute senior fellow Matthew Levitt, who spoke with the Journal, Sinwar’s ascension will likely mark a further radicalization of Hamas.

“Under Sinwar, Hamas can be expected to be a much clearer-cut, hard-line fundamentalist organization.”

The best way to lead is by example. You first bloody lunatic. And who are these Arab officials that communicate with him regularly?

Israel needs to do something very unpopular and kill him even if he is surrounded by hostages. Their lives are not more worth than all the future lives that will be killed because of his command!!!

He finally showed his evil plans that he was hiding. Well then, it is a good reason to unite the efforts now to capture him. He must be humiliated and be a victim of his own methods.

Yeah- they send brainwashed kids, and some with Downs Syndrome, and mentally disabled kids. I’m sure Sinwar could demonstrate proper methods.
