IDF knows where Hamas leader is, but won’t strike at him because of hostages – reports
[IsraelTimes] Multiple sources say Israel has identified Yahya Sinwar’s hiding place, but his use of Israeli human shields is keeping military from attacking

Israel appears to know the exact location of Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
military leader Yahya Sinwar, the ruler of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip and the criminal mastermind of the October 7 terror attacks, according to multiple reports.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
Sinwar has surrounded himself with a large number of living Israeli hostages, which is preventing the Israel Defense Forces from carrying out a strike on him, Israel Hayom reported Monday.

It followed a similar statement on Kan public radio on Sunday by former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin.

Jonathan Schanzer, vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, DC, tweeted that he had heard similar reports from "informed people" for weeks.

"The reports coming out of Israel over the last two days echo what I have heard for a few weeks," he told The Times of Israel. "Namely, the Israelis have a good idea where Yahya Sinwar is hiding."

"My assumption, although not confirmed, is that he is in the tunnels under Khan Younis," Schanzer continued. "But what I heard specifically is that he had surrounded himself with Israeli hostages. He is using them as human shields."

The IDF did not respond to requests for comment.
