(New York Post) The US has reportedly ramped up efforts to hunt down Hamas terror chief and Oct. 7 mastermind, Yahya Sinwar, in a bid to prevent a full-scale Middle East war from breaking out.
In addition to helping Israeli forces try to intercept Sinwar’s communications, the US has deployed ground-penetrating radars to map the hundreds of miles of tunnels that run underneath Gaza where the terror kingpin is believed to be hiding, the New York Times reported.
A special unit has also been established within Israel’s domestic intelligence service headquarters, Shin Bet, officials said.
One senior Israeli official described the vast amount of intelligence resources and support that American officials have poured into the manhunt for the 61-year-old since the Oct. 7 bloodshed as “priceless.”
“We’ve devoted considerable effort and resources to the Israelis for the hunt for the top leadership, particularly Sinwar,” White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said.
