Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is “underground” in Gaza, the Israeli military on Wednesday asserted, but did not say where they believe he is.

The statement from Israel Defense Forces spokesperson came shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the IDF had surrounded Sinwar’s house in southern Gaza.

“Sinwar’s house is the area of Khan Younis,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a press briefing. “There is terror infrastructure and headquarters there. Sinwar is not above ground. He’s underground. I do not want to mention where, and what intelligence we acquired.”

“Our role is to reach Sinwar and kill him. We need to do that as soon as possible,” he added.

A senior adviser to Netanyahu on Wednesday told CNN that the encirclement of Sinwar’s house is a “symbolic victory.”

“It will be a real victory very soon,” Mark Regev said. “It’s only a matter of time before we get the man.”

Israeli forces have breached Hamas "defense lines" in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, IDF spokesperson says​

Israeli forces have breached Hamas "defense lines" in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, where the military has been involved in a fierce battle with Hamas militants since Tuesday, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said on Wednesday.

“Over the last 48 hours, these three divisions (98, 36, 162) along with another division in the east, are fighting with high intensity against terrorists. We have breached the defense lines of Jabalya, Shuja'iyya and the Khan Younis area,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during his daily press conference.

It comes after the IDF said the Israeli military has begun carrying out raids against "Hamas strongholds" in the center of Khan Younis, the territory’s second-largest city.

Within a few hours after the IDF forces surrounded the city, “the soldiers pierced through the defensive lines of the Khan Younis Brigade, encircling it and for the first time began to operate in the heart of the area,” the military said.

The Khan Younis Brigade is one of the two most significant brigades of Hamas, according to the Israeli military.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier on Wednesday said that the IDF forces have encircled the house of Hamas' leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

The IDF would not say where it believes Sinwar is, but that he was “underground.” Sinwar is originally from Khan Younis but it is unclear if he is currently there.

IDF releases photo of senior Hamas officials killed in Gaza military operation​

A handout image from the IDF shows what they claim are senior Hamas officials who were eliminated in tunnels in Gaza. IDF

The Israel Defense Forces has released a photo of a group of senior Hamas officials it claims to have killed in its military operation in Gaza.
The photo shows 11 men from the Northern Gaza Brigade — the second largest unit in Hamas, according to the IDF, seated around a table, five of which have been circled in red and labeled as "eliminated."
The men indicated to have been killed are:

• Abu Rakba, head of the Aerial Division
• Rafat Salman, Aid Battalion commander
• Ahmed Al-Ghandour, Northern Brigade commander
• Wael Rajab, deputy Northern Brigade commander
• Ibrahim Al-Biari, Central Jabaliya Battalion commander

In a statement, the IDF said the fighters were killed in an attack on a Hamas tunnel where they were "hiding under civilian homes and close to the Indonesian hospital."
According to the IDF, Al-Ghandour was "head of the military formation and responsible for the observations in the north of the Gaza Strip."
The brigade was hard hit in the attack, according to the IDF, and its functioning has been significantly compromised due to damage to its command center and infrastructure in the tunnels below Gaza.
The IDF also claims to have killed four battalion commanders in the Gaza Brigade who are not pictured, destroying its battalion headquarters and infrastructure as well as taking control of central Gaza strongholds.
CNN has reached out to Hamas for comment.

What to know about Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader Israel has called a "dead man walking"​

From CNN's Ivana Kottasová and David Shortell

The Israeli prime minister said Wednesday that Israeli forces had surrounded the house of Yahya Sinwar, potentially closing in on the top Hamas official in Gaza — and the man most wanted by Israeli authorities.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Sinwar was not in the house and was believed to be hiding underground in Gaza, but a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that it was “only a matter of time before we get him.”
Israel has publicly accused Sinwar of being the “mastermind” behind Hamas’ terror attack against Israel on October 7 — though experts say he is likely one of several — making him one of the key targets of its war in Gaza.
A longtime figure in the Islamist Palestinian group, Sinwar was responsible for building up Hamas’ military wing before forging important new ties with regional Arab powers as the group’s civilian and political leader.
He was elected to Hamas’ main decision-making body, the Politburo, in 2017 as the political leader of Hamas in Gaza branch. However, he has since become the Politburo’s de facto leader, according to research by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
He has been designated a global terrorist by the US Department of State since 2015, and has been recently sanctioned by the United Kingdom and France.
Harel Chorev, senior researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, said that while Sinwar is a key player within Hamas, he shouldn’t be seen as its sole leader.

“He is perceived as the most senior one because he has a very high public profile, but Hamas doesn’t work this way,” he said. “Hamas is a decentralized organization with several separate power centers and he is one of them.”
