The Israeli military announced on June 8 that the body of Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar was discovered inside a tunnel beneath a hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. His identity was confirmed through DNA testing. The 49-year-old Sinwar was killed in an airstrike on May 13. The body of Rafah Brigade commander Sabah Subhi Sabaaneh was also found at the scene, along with belongings of the two and other intelligence materials, which have been handed over to the relevant authorities for further investigation.

On June 8, the Israeli military led foreign journalists into a tunnel beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The entrance showed signs of recent excavation, and the tunnel system inside was described as intricate and maze-like, resembling an ant nest, with branches leading to various rooms. Some of these rooms were filled with clothing and plastic chairs. Video footage showed a body being pulled out of the tunnel using a rope.

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated that they found the deceased Mohammed Sinwar in one of the rooms. He was the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The Israeli military emphasized that this operation confirms Hamas’s use of civilian infrastructure and hospitals for cover, using civilians as human shields. However, Hamas has not confirmed Sinwar’s death and continues to deny similar past accusations.
