Israel offers $1 million reward for Hamas leaders

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is offering a cash reward to residents of the Gaza Strip who provide information leading to the capture of Hamas' most wanted leaders.

This Thursday, Israel dropped leaflets in Gaza promising to pay a total of $1 million for information on four prominent members of the terrorist group.

The pamphlet specifies that the Jewish state is willing to pay $400,000 for leader Yahya Sinwar and $300,000 for his brother Muhammed, who commands Hamas forces in southern Gaza. Additionally, a reward of $200,000 is being offered for information on Rafaa Salame, commander of the Khan Yunis battalion, and another $100,000 for Muhammed Deif, military commander general.

Israel assures in its brochures that the identity of any whistleblower will be protected and provides a phone number and contact information on the Telegram messaging app for anyone who wants to get in touch.

The new IDF initiative adds to several efforts that Israel has been making to catch Hamas leaders and thus dismantle the terrorist group.

The IDF arrived at Sinwar's residence

Recently, the Israeli Defense Forces carried out an operation to try to find the leader of Hamas. According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during the operation, they surrounded Sinwar's residence in Gaza and hoped to capture him.

"His house is not his fortress, and he can escape, but it's only a matter of time before we get him," Netanyahu said.

Although the search for Sinwar has not yielded the expected results so far, Israel continues to press to achieve its goal.

The Jewish State has already been advancing into the terrorist group's underground tunnels, and according to IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the intention is to kill the agents inside there.

"We will enter, plant explosives in locations we know terrorists frequent, and will wait for the right moment to kill them underground. The terrorists won't be safe underground," he said.
