Israel army tracks Hamas leaders with US ‘intelligence help,’ Biden says
In his statement on the death of Yahya Sinwar, the head of the political bureau of Hamas, US President Joe Biden stated that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are tracking the leaders of this Palestinian group with the help of American intelligence.
“Shortly after the October 7 massacres, I directed Special Operations personnel and our intelligence professionals to work side-by-side with their Israeli counterparts to help locate and track Sinwar and other Hamas leaders hiding in Gaza.
With our intelligence help, the IDF relentlessly pursued Hamas’s leaders, flushing them out of their hiding places and forcing them onto the run. There has rarely been a military campaign like this, with Hamas leaders living and moving through hundreds of miles of tunnels, organized in multiple stories underground, determined to protect themselves with no care for the civilians suffering above ground. Today, however, proves once again that no terrorists anywhere in the world can escape justice, no matter how long it takes,” the US president’s statement reads, in part.
Biden added that Sinwar’s death is “a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world.”
