Israel has shared dramatic footage of Hamas chief Mohammad Sinwar’s body being pulled from the tunnels underneath a Gaza hospital where he was hiding when it was pounded by air strikes.
Israeli soldiers wearing body cameras can be seen hoisting out a white body bag attached to a stretcher in the grim footage shared Sunday by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
The rotting corpse of Sinwar — the de facto leader of the Palestinian terror group — was found lying on a filthy mattress in a small room connected by tunnels underneath the hospital in Khan Yunis, almost a month after it was struck.
“Mohammad Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of countless civilians,” the IDF wrote on X.
“He died the way he lived — underground.”
Authorities confirmed the body was that of Sinwar — whose brother, Yahya, masterminded the October 7 attacks in Israel — on Sunday with a DNA test, the IDF said.
Documentation and a driver’s license said to belong to Sinwar were also shared by the Israeli military on Sunday.
Sinwar is believed to have died of asphyxiation after bombing raids caused the tunnel network he was hiding in to collapse.
