Israel Strikes Hamas Leader's Underground Bunker at Gaza Hospital
(Ha'aretz) Bar Peleg - The Israeli army attempted on Tuesday to target Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas's leader in Gaza and the brother of slain former leader Yahya Sinwar. It is not yet clear if he was killed. Sinwar and other Hamas operatives were located in an underground "command and control center" beneath the European Hospital in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. Palestinian media reported that at least 16 people were killed and 70 were wounded in the strike. Footage from Gaza shows residents rescuing wounded individuals buried under the ground. Senior Hamas member Mahmoud Ishtiwi, who was executed by the group in February 2016, described Mohammed Sinwar as "the monster, the bad cop" in documents found by the IDF in Gaza in 2024. Ishtiwi compared Mohammed to his brother, former leader Yahya Sinwar, describing Yahya as "the good cop." Yahya was killed in October by IDF troops in Rafah.
