“[Yahya] Sinwar was tried in 1988 and sentenced to four life terms. He remained silent through most of the proceedings, offered little in his defense, and at times appeared entirely indifferent. In addition to ‘the Spy Hunter,’ he had another nickname among his fellow prisoners: ‘the Wall.’ He had not broken under the pressure of interrogation or divulged a single name, and his ‘Israeli’ interrogators and torturers saw no sign of fear in him. A long prison sentence that would drive any prisoner or convict insane instead gave Sinwar a golden opportunity to think and formulate his plans. He immersed himself in Hebrew texts, ‘Israeli’ newspapers, and studies of ‘Israeli’ society because he wanted to think as they did. ‘Israeli’ officials were themselves aware of this phenomenon and referred to this kind of imprisonment as the ‘prison university.’” —Mehr News Agency, “Negāhī be kār-nāmeh-ye ‘Shekārchī-ye Jāsūsān’” [A Look at the Record of the ‘Spy Hunter’], Mordād 26, 1405 [August 17, 2026].
