Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has taken a more radical path, reviving the practice of suicide bombings to achieve the group's goals. Sinwar, who is responsible for the October 7 attacks on Israel, has been reported to carry a bag full of dynamite and surround himself with 20 hostages to prevent an Israeli attack. According to a new report by the Wall Street Journal, Sinwar ordered the revival of suicide bombings just days before a failed Palestinian attack in Tel Aviv last August. Arab intelligence officials indicate that Sinwar sent a directive to a senior operative over the summer to revive suicide bombings. His dramatic appearance has shocked Israel, and he has sent a new message to Arab mediators.
