how close have troops come to yahya sinwar? ell, sinwar has many homes in gaza across the gaza strip and we believe he's hiding in a deep tunnel, and we hope to get there, as well. as we move along, hamas built over the years a huge complex of underground tunnels for its military purposes, over 500 kilometers and more than the new metro, it's a huge complex. as we go along there's a learning curve and we learn more and more and we understand more and we develop more methods to destroy this tunnel system and we believe that sooner or later we'll also get to sinwar. >> are you sure? you believe he's hiding in a deep tunnel. it sounds like you're sure from your intelligence, ambassador, that sinwar is still indeed in gaza? >> we believe he is. >> and if you capture and kill him, does that mark the end of the war as you see it? >> i believe it will shorten the war. we have to destroy the military capabilities. their military infrastructure. we have to remove the threat. israel is not going to live again with that kind of threat in t

everything i hear from israeli officials in recently weeks is they believe botha ya sin -- both yahya sinwar, and the second master mind of the october 7th attacks, both of them and several other officials are in khan younis, basically since the beginning of the war, and this is the aim of this operation. if there's one thing israel wants to achieve during this operation in khan younis is to capture sinwar, and mohammed, dead or alive. and israel wants to do it not only because they are the master finds of october 7th but because they believe that once they take them out, it will be much easier to destroy hamas. >> all right. barak, thank you very much. as always, appreciate your incredible reporting.
