Israel’s military says it has identified the body of top Hamas commander Mohammed Sinwar beneath a hospital in southern Gaza.
The Israeli military says it has located and identified the body of Mohammed Sinwar, the military leader of the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Gaza.
His body was found in a tunnel beneath the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. The military says the identity was confirmed through DNA testing, though Hamas has not publicly acknowledged his death.
Sinwar, 49, was killed in an air strike on 13 May, which the Hamas-run civil defence agency said left 28 people dead and dozens injured.
His death is the latest in a series of assassinations that have severely impacted Hamas’s leadership, though the group’s grip on power in Gaza remains unbroken.
