Sinwar's Appointment As Hamas Political Bureau Chief 'Surprising': Israeli Media | AljazairNews

Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, born in 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp, Gaza, was first arrested by Israel in 1982. After being detained and imprisoned multiple times, he spent 23 years in Israeli prisons before his release in 2011 as part of the Shalit Deal, which saw Israel release 1,027 Palestinian detainees in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
