According
to the Hebrew newspaper "
Yedioth Ahronoth," Israel's primary
objectives encompass the elimination of three critical Hamas figures: Yahya
Sinwar, leader of the military wing Mohammad Deif, and the second-in-command in
the wing, Marwan Issa. The overarching goal is to secure a decisive military
victory against the
Al-Qassam Brigades, coupled with the destruction of the
tunnel network to undermine Hamas's governance in Gaza, Amad reported.
As
per Israeli plans, the primary ground campaign in Gaza may extend for several
more months, followed by a subsequent "
transition and settlement"
phase, potentially lasting until late next year.
The
newspaper provides details on the distribution of sets of cards to Israeli
soldiers in Gaza, each featuring 52 pictures of senior Hamas officials.
Approximately 10,000 unique sets, including images of Sinwar and Deif, were
disseminated.
Citing
Israeli officials, the newspaper confirms the successful elimination of ten
wanted individuals depicted in the distributed cards.
To
amplify the psychological impact on Hamas, the card distributor decided to
downgrade the rank of some top members of the armed group to embarrass them.
For instance,
Yahya Sinwar is referred to as the "Red Queen" instead
of "King," "Ace," or "Joker."
The
newspaper notes that "Aces" were designated for Ismail Haniyeh and
Khaled Meshaal, residing in
luxury hotels in Doha, while Marwan Issa, the
military representative in Hamas's political bureau, received an
"Ace" designation.
Simultaneously,
Mohammed, Sinwar's brother, is dubbed the "Black Prince," with Deif
aptly referred to as the "Joker."
