Too Good to Check: Sinwar Losing Support of ... Fellow Terrorists

The terrorist groups Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, have reportedly terminated communication with Sinwar because they want any deal with Israel to include the release of Palestinian terrorists from their groups held in Israeli prisons to be released along with Hamas terrorists there, while Sinwar prioritizes Hamas terrorists, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The Chronicle also reported that Sinwar hopes to heighten terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria to distract the Israel Defense Forces from pursuing Hamas in Gaza. Intelligence sources say Sinwar has told top Hamas financier Zaher Jabarin to activate those terrorists.

Hence the large-scale counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank, presumably. Jabarin had better take care not to end up at the same body temperature as Ismail Haniyeh, too. Israel isn't playing around any more. 

As far as Sinwar's support goes, it depends chiefly on what he can gain. So far he's not getting much for the hostages despite the usual leverage they provide. That's also another sign that Israel is through playing around.
