Gazan sources claim Yahya Sinwar's wife escaped to Turkey, remarried after husband's death
Her escape from the strip was done as an operation to smuggle all of the families of several key Hamas leaders during the first months of the war. Yahya Sinwar's widow fled to Turkey and remarried there after her husband's death, according to Gaza sources cited in a report by Ynet. Her escape from the strip was done as an operation to smuggle all of the families of several key Hamas leaders during the first months of the war. The report claimed that Sinwar's widow, Samar Abu Zamar, was smuggled out of Gaza with a fake passport. "She's not here anymore; she's in Turkey with the children," a Gazan source told the Israeli news site. "She crossed the Rafah crossing with a fake passport of another woman from Gaza. This required logistical assistance, high-level coordination, and a lot of money that an average Gazan doesn't have," the source added. The report also noted that Abu Zamar remarried in Turkey a couple of months after her husband's death, with the main intermediary between the couple being Fathi Hamad, a prominent senior member of Hamas's political bureau. Families of Hamas leadership flee There is another key figure missing in Gaza, according to the report: The widow of Yahya Sinwar's brother, Mohammed Sinwar, Najwa Sinwar. Although there are no clear indications that she also left the Strip, there is a clear absence of pictures or reports that indicate that she is still in Gaza. With this in mind, Israeli security sources confirmed that both Abu Zamar and Najwa Sinwar left Gaza through the Rafah crossing. On the other hand, the only key figure who has provided any evidence that she's still in Gaza is Umm Khaled, the wife of Muhammad Deif. A video published online shows her in a simple house with her three children, stating that she's 'not running away, I'm here with my people." She then added, "In our house, we have four mattresses and a mat. That's how it was – before the war and after." A Palestinian source claimed, according to the report, that Hama's leadership had a whole covert operation for this escape, including fake passports, fictitious medical documents, logistical support, and assistance from embassies of supportive countries.
