Former hostage Emily Damari provided additional details about the Hamas leader killed in a recent operation, stating that during her captivity she heard him speaking on the phone with Yahya Sinwar. She identified the leader by the nickname 'Sheikh Ibrahim' and said he was one of the most serious figures she encountered. 'Now they burn together in the fires of hell,' she said.
Emily Damari, who was held captive in Gaza for over a year, elaborated on her earlier statement about the eliminated Hamas leader. In a message published by The Zioneer, Damari said the leader, known as Sheikh Ibrahim, was one of the most serious figures she encountered during her captivity. She recalled hearing him speak on the phone with Yahya Sinwar and another commander, Az ad-Din al-Haddad. 'Now they don't talk about us together on the phone, they burn together in the fires of hell,' she said. The elimination of this senior Hamas figure was reported earlier, and Damari's account provides a rare glimpse into the dynamics among the captors. The Zioneer reported Damari's initial reaction minutes earlier.
