Yahya Sinwar's Praise For 'Fauda'-Inspired Gaza TV Series Sparks Fresh Rumours

A viral video of a speech by most-wanted Yahya Sinwar has sparked speculation that a television series shot in Gaza, and aired on Hamas' channel, was either the inspiration behind the Palestinian group's October 7 attack on Israel, or was a not-so-subtle hint of its sinister plans. During Ramzan of 2022, a show titled 'Fist Of The Free' was aired on Hamas' Al Aqsa television channel. Palestinians are now drawing parallels between the show - called an imitation of 'Fauda' - and the events which unfolded on October 7.
