In an unexpected turn of events, Israeli forces claim to have discovered the remains of Hamas military chief Mohammed al-Sinwar within an underground tunnel located near the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. The shocking revelation came via an official army statement, confirming Sinwar was killed in an attack on May 13, along with the commander of the Rafah Brigade, Mohammed Sabaneh [1][2].
The tunnel's nearness to the clinic has sparked fresh controversy, with Israel alleging Hamas has misused medical facilities for military objectives. Israel has repeatedly bombed such tunnel networks, charging that Hamas exploits infrastructure in civilian areas to conceal their illicit activities, including protecting leaders [3].
A journalist from the German Press Agency accompanied the military in examining the tunnel. Their report suggests the tunnel descends deep underground, with signs of use as a sleeping area due to the presence of numerous blankets. Sadly, a pungent odor of decay and a swarm of worms were prevalent throughout the space, leaving no doubt as to the tunnel's unsettling history. However, no technical equipment or similar items were visibly present [1].
Despite persistent accusations, Hamas staunchly denies any misuse of medical facilities. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed al-Sinwar's demise, though Hamas has refrained from verifying the news [2].
Sinwar's death marks the end of another high-profile Hamas leader, as he succeeded the role of head of the Kassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, following the assassination of Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif last year [2]. The tragic fate of al-Sinwar's brother, Jihia al-Sinwar, a former Hamas leader, onceagain highlights the dangerous nature of the armed conflict in the region.
