INCREDIBLE footage shows the moment terror boss Yahya Sinwar fled into secret Gaza tunnels on the night before the October 7 attacks.
Accompanied by his children and wife, Sinwar can be seen moving back and forth while carrying essential supplies to prepare for a lavish stay in the underground lair.
For months following the deadly massacre in Israel that left more than 1,200 innocent people dead and saw hundreds being taken hostage in Gaza by Hamas brutes, Sinwar would hide inside the terror tunnels to evade assassination by the Israeli forces.
However, the Hamas chief’s time ran out when a trainee squad of Israeli commandos took him out inside a building in Rafah on October 17.
He was forced out of the tunnels as the IDF began raiding and destroying the underground tunnels.
The Israelis have now released declassified footage that shows Sinwar’s extensive preparation to live a life an underground life after waging a bloody war that has turned Gaza into rubbles.
In the three-minute-long video, Sinwar is ferrying large packs of water bottles, comfy pillows, and other supplies inside a narrow concrete tunnel.
His wife can be seen smiling briefly as she follows her terrorist husband inside the bunkers.
Another set of pictures released by the IDF shows inside the underground lair where Sinwar spent months hiding away from the world.
A large TV can be seen mounted on the wall along with anchored fans, a few chairs – even a laundry line.
A second image shows a Hamas flag hanging on the wall just near his bed along with a few books lying on a side table and other essential supplies to help sustain his stay throughout.
The IDF also released images of a tunnel in Tel Sultan where Sinwar hid in recent months.

It was well-stocked with food and supplies that would last for months – including UNWRA bags that contained essential items meant for starving Palestinians.
Piles of cash including American dollars were found inside the lavish underground bunker.
Beauty items including aftershave and cologne were also found at his secret residence.
Sinwar lived a life of luxury even while hiding as Gaza continued to burn because of a war he started.
Rear Adm Hagari said the tunnel where Sinwar stayed was close to the underground passage where six Israeli hostages were held and later murdered in August.
He is believed to have used them as human shields.
Hagari added: “The leaders of the Hamas terrorist organization, whoever they are, do not care about the price that the people of Gaza pay. They use them only as human shields and are preoccupied solely with their survival.
“Sinwar was concerned first and foremost with himself and his own survival. An example of this is the cash he kept with him wherever he was.”
“Sinwar lived and behaved like a wanted terrorist on the run.
and that’s how he ended his life.”
Israeli troops struck a building with an airstrike on October 17 – killing three Hamas terrorists.
The building collapsed – and as troops picked through the rubble, they came across a corpse that reportedly “looked very much like” Sinwar.
Extensive DNA and dental tests later confirmed his identity.
His body is currently being held at a secret location by the Israeli forces.
Sinwar had his last humiliating moments sitting slumped over in an armchair in a bombed-out building in the Strip as he feebly tried to fight off an Israeli drone with a stick.
An autopsy revealed that Sinwar was likely wiped out by a long-range gunshot to the head – executed with sniper-like precision.
His corpse was also riddled with shrapnel fragments after a tank blasted the house he was in.
He was discovered by the troops armed with a flak jacket, 40,000 shekels ($10,731.63), and a firearm.
“He tried to escape and our forces eliminated him,” Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said during a televised briefing.
Graphic images shared online on appeared to show his dead body in the ruins of the struck building in Rafah, with a horrific head wound.
The pictured body appeared to have the same mole as Sinwar next to his left eye as well as similar earlobes and teeth.
Soldiers involved in the strike reportedly did not realise who they took out until they saw his corpse.
His death was later confirmed by foreign minister Israel Katz who said: “Mass murderer Yahya Sinwar, who was responsible for the massacre and atrocities of 7 October, was killed today by IDF soldiers.”
Katz dubbed Sinwar’s death a “great military and moral achievement for Israel”.
The army later released footage of Sinwar’s final moments, hunched over and wounded inside a bombed building in Gaza.
Netanyahu and top army officials have repeatedly vowed to take out Sinwar since October 7 last year.

HIS life was saved twice by Israel – but the monster dubbed “The Hamas Bin Laden” repaid his sworn enemy by masterminding the October 7 horror.
Yahya Sinwar, 61, spent 22 years in an Israeli prison for terrorist murder and kidnap plots and spent every second honing his burning hatred for his captors.
His astonishing rise to the top of the Hamas terror tree came despite being sentenced to four life sentences in 1989 for planning the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers and the murder of four Palestinians he suspected of working with Israel.
The bearded beast’s life was first saved when he was cured of cancer by an operation in a prison.
Then in 2011 he was freed, among 1,026 others, in a prisoner exchange for a single Israeli soldier in a deal that has been damned by his thousands of victims ever since.
Sinwar taught himself Hebrew and became fluent during his multiple stints as a caged man.
He began reading and studying every Israeli newspaper to probe the weak spots in his enemy’s armour.
The terror master’s deep knowledge of what makes Israelis tick led him to realise the power of the hostage-taking tactic now traumatising the strife-torn Jewish nation.
Yet despite his blood lust and bravado, the Hamas commander “cried like a baby” when he learned he had cancer, his jailer Lieutenant Betty Lahat has revealed.
