Overview

• The IDF announced on June 8 that Mohammed Sinwar was killed in a May 13 strike and identified through DNA after recovering his body from tunnels under the European Hospital in Khan Younis.
• Bodycam footage shows a network of concrete corridors stocked with arms and Sinwar’s camouflaged remains in a hidden room beneath the hospital emergency ward.
• Brigadier-General Effie Defrin described the tunnel complex as a major Hamas command and control hub embedded under a civilian medical facility.
• The operation also uncovered senior commander Mohammad Shabana’s body and seized weapons and documents now undergoing military intelligence analysis.
• More than 54,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict, and UN agencies warn of looming famine as Israel intensifies efforts to dismantle Hamas’s underground infrastructure.
