Yahya Sinwar's Wife Spotted Carrying $32,000 Hermes Birkin Bag in Gaza Tunnel | VIDEO

New Delhi: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday released a video showing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his wife inside a tunnel in Gaza just hours before the October 7 terror attack.

This video was shared days after Yahya Sinwar's death. Sinwar and two other terrorists were killed in a chance encounter with Israeli soldiers in Rafah on Thursday. In the video, Sinwar's wife was seen carrying a luxury bag worth $32,000, approximately Rs 26 Lakh in INR.

The footage captured moments while Yahya Sinwar and his family were escaping into a tunnel beneath their home in Khan Younis, hours before militant group Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel on October 7.

Isreal on its official account disclosed the cost of the luxurious handbag from Hermes Birkin which spotted with Sinwar’s wife, valuing at around $32,000.

Taking to X, @Israel tweeted, " Sinwar’s wife caught in this photo sneaking to the tunnels the night before October 7th - get this - clutching a $32,000 Hermes Birkin bag!."

Acknowledging the hardships faced by Gazans under Hamas, The IDF said "Sinwar and his family were shamelessly living in luxury, indulging while sending others to die."

The footage highlighted Sinwar's preparedness for his survival and that of his family while planning the massacre. "In the days leading up to the horrific attacks, Sinwar was filmed preparing for his own survival, moving with his family into an underground bunker on the night of October 6. The footage shows him carrying supplies, including food and personal items, in preparation for a long-term stay," IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said.

In the revealed video dated late night of October 6 Sinwar is seen walking back and forth in an underground tunnel with his wife and children, carrying bags of supplies to the bunker that the IDF later discovered. 

"It proves once again that the leaders of the Hamas terrorist organization, regardless of who they are, do not care about the price paid by the residents of Gaza. They use them only as human shields and are preoccupied with their own survival. An example of this is the amounts of money he kept wherever he hid," Hagari said.
