Israel Recovers Hamas Commander Sinwar Body in Gaza Tunnel

The Israeli military has confirmed the recovery of the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas' military chief, from an underground tunnel beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Sinwar, killed in an Israeli airstrike last month, was found alongside Mohammad Shabana, another senior Hamas commander, and several other militants during a raid that uncovered a major Hamas command center beneath the hospital. Israeli officials emphasized Hamas' use of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, as shields, placing civilians at grave risk. The discovery was confirmed through DNA identification, and additional intelligence materials were seized for investigation. The operation highlights ongoing Israeli military efforts against Hamas amid continued conflict that has caused extensive casualties and destruction in Gaza. Hamas has not publicly commented on the deaths of Sinwar and Shabana or the tunnel discovery.
