Title: Hamas Members Possibly Planning Escape Route Amid Conflict
There are signs that Haya Sinwar and his associates in Hamas may be contemplating an escape route as the conflict in Khan Yunis intensifies. It is believed that the outcome of the campaign in Khan Yunis will become clear within a few days, prompting the Ministry of Endowments of Hamas to issue a directive to all mosques in Rafah to accommodate displaced persons from around the Gaza Strip.
This directive is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first explicit order from the Hamas government for mosques to open their doors to those displaced by the war. The fact that at least five of these mosques are near the border with Egypt, where active smuggling tunnels are located, adds to the intrigue.
The Rafah Brigade of Hamas, which is responsible for guarding the southern border, is considered to be militarily inferior to most other battalions in Gaza. It is likely that Sinwar and his colleagues are aware of this and are taking necessary precautions.
The movement of people from Khan Yunis to Rafah has been ongoing, and it remains uncertain how many Hamas members are choosing to take refuge in the south. While the practicality of an escape route remains to be seen, this development is certainly worth monitoring closely.
As tensions continue to escalate, the possibility of an escape plan being considered by Hamas members raises questions about the potential impact on the ongoing conflict.
