Translation

"Yahya Al-Sanwar was born in a camp in Khan Yunis after his family was displaced from the city of Al-Majdal, north-east of the Gaza Strip. He was born in 1962. Today is his 62nd birthday. He was educated at Khan Yunis School, after which he joined the Islamic University in Gaza, from which he graduated with a bachelor’s degree. He grew up in difficult circumstances and lived for the first time. His childhood was in a tent and he was affected by attacks and harassment by the Zionist occupation. His political activity was a member of the Islamic Bloc, which is the student branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.

He held the general assignment of the Technical Committee, then the Sports Committee, then Vice President of the Council, then President of the Council. This helped him gain experience that qualified him to assume leadership roles in the Hamas movement after its founding in 1987 during the Stone Intifada. He founded a security agency (Majd). The mission of this agency was to detect agents and spies. The Israeli occupation arrested him for the first time at the age of 20 because of his student activity. He was placed in administrative detention for 4 months. He was re-arrested a week after his release, and he remained in prison for 6 months without trial.

In 1985, he was arrested again and sentenced to 8 months. On January 20, 1988, he was arrested again and tried on charges related to leading the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers, and the killing of 4 Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel, and he was sentenced to 4 life sentences (with a duration of 426 years). Imagine He was arrested because he killed Palestinian agents and spent 23 years in prison. During this period he learned the Hebrew language and delved into understanding the Israeli mentality. During his imprisonment, he published a book (Thistles and Cloves) in which he talks about his suffering and the suffering of the Palestinian people,Yahya Sinwar and 1,027 other people were released from prison in 2011 in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit as part of the “DWafa al-Ahrar” deal.

After that, he was elected to several positions in the Hamas movement, the most important of which was his election as head of the Hamas movement in Gaza. His house was bombed more than once in 2012 and 2014, and in 2021, Sinwar is described as a cautious personality. He does not speak much and rarely appears in public. He also possesses leadership skills. High and has a strong effect on the movement’s members and After the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on the 7th of October, he became the most wanted member, in addition to Muhammad Al-Deif, the commander-in-chief of Izz al-Din al-Qassam.

Muhammad Al-Deif is a story alone. Did you know that Israel tried to assassinate Muhammad Al-Deif more than 11 times in thirty years? ,back to our main topic during the war Yahya Al-Sinwar was subjected to a lot of distortion of his image through Zionist channels, whether in Israel or in the Zionist Arab countries. I do not forget when I was in Gaza, the Zionist occupation used to throw leaflets and put a picture of Sinwar in it and put a financial reward on it for anyone who knew his location. Other than the words that exist, such as cursing him, cursing him, and distorting his reputation, such as saying that he and his family are in tunnels and you are in tents.

They were trying to discredit him all the time, and leaflets were repeatedly thrown at Yahya Al-Sinwar, who refused to remain in the tunnels and went out in the front rows on the battlefield. One of the resistance fighters revealed that he had been fighting since Al-Bari entered Khan Yunis, that is, 11 months ago from now in the Karama neighborhood. Then he moved to Rafah to fight there , Although he is old and 62 years old, he fought battles on all fronts and destroyed many military tanks and bulldozers, and he excelled in clashes. May God have mercy on this brave leader. He lived a hero and died a hero. Finally, your birthday is in paradise, hero."

One of many injustices in Gaza is that the enemies of Palestinians will never have to mourn the loss of a good person

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

Nothing but the highest form of Jannah for Commander Yahya Al-Sinwar, legendary hero amongst heroes

My his memory and lessons last thousands of years after the zionist entity is long forgotten

Death to America

Based on what he said during his life, I can’t imagine he could have dreamt of a better way to go. What a hero.
