"I assess beyond a doubt that he is in Khan Yunis - along with some of the remaining Hamas leadership," the officer said.
"Out of millions of dollars received, a million goes to him," Gallant continued. "He puts what he needs in his pocket. As Hamas fights a war of crime and murder, Sinwar celebrates with his family."
According to the report, Israeli officials have floated the idea of allowing Sinwar to "leave like [Yasser] Arafat left Lebanon."
He claimed the document was released against the wishes of Hamas: "Hamas did not want to release this document. It was published by Hezbollah.
IDF intelligence estimates that Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar and other top Hamas leaders used these hostages as human shields to protect them from IDF attacks.
According to a report on Channel 13, Israel and the US have recently been discussing a plan for the exile of senior Hamas members as part of a wider deal.
