Israel’s military says it has recovered the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’ military chief in Khan Younis, from a tunnel beneath the European Hospital.
Another top commander, Mohammad Shabana, was also found dead alongside weapons and documents.
The IDF claims the underground complex served as a command center for Hamas and was located directly below the hospital’s emergency room.
A small group of foreign journalists were shown the site, including a reinforced tunnel entrance and rooms allegedly used by militants.
Hamas has not confirmed the deaths. The group has long denied Israeli accusations of using hospitals as cover.
The announcement follows months of Israeli operations targeting Gaza’s tunnel networks.
But with more than 54,000 Palestinians reported dead and the UN warning of famine, the humanitarian cost continues to mount.
