Israel’s Defense Minister released a shocking video showing several documents recovered by Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers in Gaza, which included a photo of the leader of Hamas’ kids celebrating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
On Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant shared a video on social media of IDF soldiers displaying various documents found in a tunnel built by Hamas terrorists where the leader of the group, Yahya Sinwar and his brother “were hiding like rats.”
One of the documents was a shocking photograph of three children, identified by Gallant as Sinwar’s kids, standing in front of a painting of the World Trade Center on 9/11, with one building in flames and a plane headed for the second tower. The two older children have their fists raised in the image, while the younger child is seen smiling.
“These are the kids of Muhammad Sinwar, posing against the evil event of September 11,” Gallant says in the video published on his official X account.
“This is picture shows what we have been fighting since October 7th,” he added. “ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Hamas — they are all the same. Yahya Sinwar is the new Osama bin Laden. He is the Osama bin Laden of Gaza. We will engage him, detect him, and bring him to justice — dead, or in prison.”
A picture is worth a thousand words. This picture was found in a tunnel where the Sinwar brothers were hiding like rats.

This is far from the first time that Hamas leaders and Palestinians in general celebrated 9/11, as some Palestinians were even seen on September 11, 2001, celebrating the horrific terrorist attacks that killed 2,977 people. Footage of those celebrations aired on several mainstream media networks in 2001.

Meanwhile, Gallant also showed a document to the Israeli media where one of Sinwar’s deputies — former commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade Rafa’a Salameh, who was later killed by a targeted Israeli strike — admitted that the Hamas terror group had been reduced to 25% of its former size because of deaths and injuries from the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Salameh also noted in the letter addressed to Sinwar and his brother that people in Gaza were turning against Hamas because they had been “broken on a mental or physical level.”
“Please consider the following: We maintain the remaining weapons and equipment, as we have lost 90-95% of our rocket capabilities; and we have lost some 60% of our personal weapons; we have lost at least 65-70% of our anti-tank launchers and rockets, and most importantly that we have lost at least 50% of our fighters between those who are martyred and wounded, and now we are left with 25%. The last 25% of our people have reached a situation where the people do not tolerate them anymore, broken on a mental or physical level,” the document read, according to excerpts provided and translated by the Defense Ministry.

This news comes after Israel reportedly offered Sinwar a deal — release the remaining 101 hostages kidnapped on October 7 and the IDF will allow him and his family safe passage out of Gaza.
