Israel releases new footage of ex-Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar before Oct 7 attack

In the video, Sinwar's wife was seen holding a Birkin bag worth $32,000 (Around 27 lakh), according to another IDF Spokesperson Avichay Adraee.

The Israeli army has released new footage of the now-killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, which was apparently recorded before the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The video, dated October 6, shows Sinwar walking in an underground tunnel with his wife and children, carrying bags of supplies to the bunker that the IDF later discovered.

The IDF Spokesperson, Nadav Shoshani, who shared the footage, wrote, "Sinwar hours before the October 7 massacre: taking down his TV into his tunnel, hiding underneath his civilians, and preparing to watch his terrorists murder, kindap and rape".

In the video, Sinwar's wife was seen holding a Birkin bag worth $32,000 (Around 27 lakh), according to another IDF Spokesperson Avichay Adraee.

"While Gaza residents have no money for food, we see many examples of Yahya Sinwar and his wife's special love for money," IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, Adraee tweeted, along with a screenshot showing his wife holding what appeared to be the Birkin bag.

"Did Sinwar's wife enter the tunnel with him on October 6 carrying a Birkin bag estimated to cost about $32,000?!" Adraee wrote.
