CIA Director William Burns proposes sharing intelligence on Hamas military head Yahya Sinwar to dissuade Israel from a ground invasion in the Rafah region. Sinwar, a target since conflict erupted in October, reportedly hides in the terror group's tunnel network. With concerns over civilian casualties, the US urges restraint. Israel vows to capture Sinwar, as Burns engages in talks with Israeli counterparts. Burns previously facilitated Israeli hostage releases during ceasefires. The offer underscores diplomatic efforts to mitigate escalation in the ongoing conflict.
