From the New York Post: Yahya Sinwar and his family fled into an tunnel just hours before the Oct. 7 massacre, video released by by the IDF Saturday shows.
The Hamas chief, 61, and his wife can be seen ushering in their two young sons through the narrow bunker hallway in the footage — timestamped at 10:45 p.m. Oct. 6, 2023.
The four appeared to be settling in for the long haul — all four were wearing backpacks and luggage when they entered the chambers.
Sinwar — the mastermind behind the Oct. 7 attacks — made several more trips through the tunnel to retrieve additional belongings, packages of water bottles and pillows.
In the video, Sinwar’s wife, Abu Zamar, was allegedly holding a $32,000 Birkin bag, according to Israeli officials, the report notes.
The Israel Defense Forces shared the video on social media of the family moving into the bunker, just hours before the deadly massacre.

The IDF also released footage taken from inside Sinwar’s bunker back in February, which shows the elaborate provisions the terror leader had taken down into the tunnel for himself and his own family, as he orchestrated the attack on Israel, and let the people of Gaza suffer for it.
Inside the bunker was a huge supply of United Nations food rations, millions in cash, several bathrooms and showers, and even a supply of cologne and tonics. Food was seen with the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) label, which was supposed to be for Palestinian refugees.
“He lives here in a good way, with all his millions, while the civilians above ground are living in poverty and are starving,” an IDF official explained.
Members of the Israeli military had raided the bunker in February, and just missed Sinwar and his team, as they fled. He has reportedly been hiding in Rafah ever since – the very city where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris declared Israel should not target.
The New York Post explained:
Hamas has been repeatedly accused of stealing rations from the international agency, which hands out supplies to Gaza’s nearly two million refugees.
Israel has also accused the UNRWA being infiltrated by Hamas, allegations that the group denies despite firing nine staffers after a probe linked them to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
The video also showed the living quarters of Sinwar’s bodyguards, including lockers containing a cache of weapons, ammunition and explosives.

The IDF has been hunting for Sinwar ever since the horrific massacre against Israel last year.
They finally took him out in Rafah last Wednesday, without realizing at first who he was. Israeli soldiers had opened fire on three suspected terrorists, who fled into a building. After bombing the building, they discovered Sinwar’s body.
On his body, they reportedly found 40,000 shekels, which is equivalent to about $10,000. Inside the building was a cache of weapons.
