While the residents of Gaza are paying the price of the massacre, and after the elimination of the leaders of the Hamas terrorist organization, questions arise in the destroyed streets of Gaza: Where are the wives and children of those responsible for the disaster that befell the Strip?
The Ynet website reported that, according to local sources in Gaza, the Hamas leadership made sure to evacuate the families long before the first smoke rose. The picture that emerges, even if not officially verified, is very disturbing to the Gazan public.
According to sources familiar with the situation, Hamas has long established an organized smuggling mechanism for the families of its senior figures: fake passports, fictitious medical documents, logistical escort, and assistance from embassies of supporting countries.
Earlier this year, an IDF spokesman released rare footage showing Samar Abu Zammar, the widow of Yahya Sinwar, rushing into one of the Hamas tunnels with her children. At first, it was assumed that she had gone underground, but according to sources in Gaza, she had left the Strip.
""She's no longer here, she's in Turkey with the children," a Gaza source told Ynet. "She crossed the Rafah crossing with a fake passport belonging to another woman from Gaza. It required logistical assistance, high-level coordination - and a lot of money that the average Gazan doesn't have.".
According to the same source, Samar remarried in Turkey, just months after the assassination of her murderous husband by the IDF.
After the assassination of Yahya's brother, Muhammad Sinwar, public attention was drawn to his wife, Najua, who has not been seen in recent months. According to the same source, she also left the Gaza Strip with their children before the assassination.
There are many speculations about the escape destination, but it is also likely to be in Turkey.
Israeli security officials confirmed that the two women left through the Rafah crossing before their husbands were killed.
Either way, this is a covert move that has no public traces, but the public in Gaza feels it well.
According to the net, among all the stories of escapes, forgeries, and international coordination, one unusual figure emerged: Umm Khaled, the wife of Muhammad Deif. In a video posted online, Umm Khaled is seen in a simple home with their three children. Not a tunnel, not a bunker, and not a luxurious home.
""There are four mattresses and a mat in our house. That's how it was - before the war and after," she said. "I'm not running away, I'm here with my people.".
Some claim that this is a move designed to break the image of the "mass escape" of the Hamas leadership. Others, mainly from within, say: "At least one stayed with us.".
Against the backdrop of the siege, the destruction, and the poverty - something is changing in the Gazan consciousness. More and more residents of Gaza are asking themselves: "Did we bear the burden for the resistance? Or just so that Hamas leaders can live in five-star hotels in Doha and Istanbul?".
