In late October 2023, during Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, Brigadier General Dan Goldfuss, acting commander of the 98th Division of the Israel Defense Forces, revealed that Israeli troops came within minutes of capturing Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas. This operation took place in the immediate aftermath of the deadly October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, orchestrated by Sinwar, which marked one of the bloodiest days in Israel's history since the Holocaust. This revelation was made public during an interview with Israel's Channel 12 on October 29, 2023, as reported by Agerpres .
The Israel Defense Forces’s close encounter with Yahya Sinwar occurred around mid-October 2023, specifically in the days following the October 10, 2023, discovery of his presence in a tunnel in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. General Goldfuss explained that IDF forces managed to penetrate Sinwar’s underground command complex shortly after October 10, but they missed capturing him by mere minutes.
