BIDEN BELIEVES RE-OCCUPATION OF GAZA BY ISRAELI FORCES ISN'T GOOD: WHITE HOUSE | 20-YEAR-OLD ISRAELI COP STABBED TO DEATH BY PALESTINIAN TEEN IN JERUSALEM

- 

The Israeli army late on Tuesday said its troops have entered the "heart of Gaza" and trapped Hama' senior most leader there in an underground bunker.

Yahya Sinwar, 61-dubbed Israel's most wanted and called a "dead man walking" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin - orchestrated the terror group's October 7 massacre in Israel that killed more than 1,400 people, mainly civilians, Israeli officials have said.

"[Israel Defence Forces] ... came from the north and the south. They stormed it in full coordination between land, air and sea forces," said Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, referring to the ground invasion, on Tuesday. The Israeli official said Sinwa is now isolated inside a bunker, with IDF soldiers determined to destroy it along with any infrastructure operated by the terrorists.
