Who is Yahya Sinwar; the new Political Bureau chief of Hamas?
"We will come to you, God willing, in a roaring flood. We will come to you with endless rockets, we will come to you in an unceasing flood of fighters, we will come to you with millions of our people, like an incessant tide," Ya-hy-a Si-nw-ar said during a ceremony in Gaza celebrating the 35th anniversary of H-am-as' establishment, foreshadowing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Ya-h-ya Si-nw-ar, born in 1962 in Gaza's Khan Younis refugee camp, has demonstrated unwavering dedication to the Palestinian cause throughout his life. His journey from a young activist at the Islamic University of Gaza to becoming the head of H-am-as' Political Bureau reflects his deep commitment to resistance and the liberation of Palestine. Sinwar's early detention, his pivotal encounters with H-am-as founder Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, and his co-founding of the Al-Majd organization, all laid the groundwork for H-am-as' rise.
