Widow Of Former Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar Escapes Gaza, Remarries In Turkey

Less than a year after Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in Israeli strikes, his widow Samar Abu Zamer, who was believed to be hiding with her children and spending days underground, has reportedly remarried in Turkey, a report by Israeli news media outlet Ynetnews.com claimed on Sunday.

As the war in Gaza grinds on and humanitarian conditions worsen, growing resentment is being witnessed among residents towards the Hamas leadership amid reports claiming that families of top commanders quietly escaped the enclave early in the conflict have triggered anger. Many are accusing the ruling elite of abandoning the people while they suffer bombings, displacement, and food shortages.

Amid the ongoing crisis, Samar Abu Zamer's name is drawing a lot of attention. Once thought to be hiding in tunnels with her children, new claims suggest she left Gaza months ago and has since resettled in Turkey, where she reportedly remarried.
