Israeli troops on Saturday began the "hunt" for the Hamas commander whom they call "Palestinian Osama Bin Laden".
Israel says Yahya Sinwar's days are numbered.
Jahya Sinwar, 60, is currently the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Israel had arrested him several times and he spent 24 years in Israeli prisons. He was released in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange deal for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Sinwar, according to Israeli claims, is responsible for the killing of 1,300 Israelis in the October 7 attack.
“Yahya Sinwar is the face of evil. He was the mastermind of evil, just like Bin Laden was. He built his career by killing Palestinians when he realized that they are collaborators. He then became known as the butcher of Khan Yunis," said Israel's armed forces spokesman Richard Heht.
Heht emphasized that Israeli troops will not rest until Sinwar is found and killed.
"We will get to that man and his team," Heht added.
Sinwar was designated a terrorist by the United States in 2015.
IDF spokesman Admiral Hagari has said that the search for Sinwar has begun which has never been seen before in Israel's history.
"He is a dead man," Hagari said in a press conference.
Sinwar is the leader of Hamas in Gaza, the second-in-command in the entire Hamas chain of command, and one of the founders of the organization's military wing.
He is the body behind Hamas attacks on Israeli cities and communities in the south of this state.
The most senior Hamas official in Gaza, Sinwar is the de facto ruler of the territory and the second most powerful member of Hamas after Ismail Haniyeh, the group's overall leader.
Born in 1962 in a refugee camp in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar attended the Islamic University of Gaza, where he majored in Arabic studies. He was first arrested while at university, befriended Palestinian activists in prison and vowed to dedicate himself to the Palestinian cause.
