Interrogator Who Spent 180 Hours With Yahya Sinwar Reveals Chilling Details About Top Hamas Leader

Michael Koubi, a former Shin Bet official who interrogated Yahya Sinwar for 180 hours in Israeli prison, said on Friday (December 1) that the Hamas leader in Gaza was a ruthless and rational man with “murderous eyes”, entirely devoted to the destruction of Israel and to killing Jews. In an interview to Reuters, Koubi said, Sinwar was “the cruellest man I've ever met,” describing how Sinwar had told him he had killed at least 12 people he suspected were collaborating with Israel, using a butcher's machete, hence his name by which Koubi said he's known in Gaza as “The Butcher from Khan Younis.” Koubi also described how Sinwar killed three men using a razor during his time in an Israeli prison. He described Sinwar as “rational man” who wanted to kill Israelis everywhere and aspired for Hamas to occupy Israeli land.
