Inside the twisted life of Yahya Sinwar
By Nick Parker, Foreign Affairs Editor
Israel saved his life twice – but the monster dubbed “Hamas bin Laden” rewarded his arch enemy by masterminding the October 7 terror.
Yahya Al-Sinwar, 61, spent 22 years in an Israeli prison for terrorist murder and kidnapping plots, spending every second honing his intense hatred for his captors.
His astonishing rise to the top of the Hamas terrorist tree came despite being sentenced to four life sentences in 1989 for plotting to kidnap and kill two Israeli soldiers and murder four Palestinians suspected of working with Israel.
The bearded monster's life was first saved when he was cured of cancer by undergoing surgery in prison.
He was then released in 2011, among 1,026 others, in a prisoner exchange for one Israeli soldier in a deal that has since been spoiled by thousands of victims.
Sinwar taught himself Hebrew and spoke fluently during his several stints as a caged man.
He began reading and studying every Israeli newspaper to find out the weak points in his enemy's armor.
The master of terror's deep knowledge of what makes Israelis angry has led him to realize the power of a hostage-taking tactic that is now traumatizing the strife-torn Jewish nation.
However, despite his lust for blood and his bravado, the Hamas leader “cried like a baby” when he learned he had cancer, his jailer, Lieutenant Betty Lahat, revealed.
