A recent Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza reportedly targeted Mohammed Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed conducting a strike on the European hospital in Khan Younis where the target was “Hamas terrorists in a command and control center" situated in underground infrastructure beneath the medical facility. The IDF did not officially identify Mohammed Sinwar as the target of the operation.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the strike resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians and left at least 40 others wounded.

Dr. Saleh Al Hams, the head of nursing at the European hospital, stated that multiple airstrikes impacted the hospital yard. He described the situation as a “catastrophe," noting that some individuals were trapped under the rubble. Medical teams were reportedly working to relocate patients to safer areas within the hospital.

Video footage emerging from Gaza depicted significant plumes of smoke and dust rising from the area, suggesting the strikes were among the most substantial witnessed in the region in recent weeks.

Mohammed Sinwar reportedly assumed the de facto leadership of Hamas following the Israeli military’s killing of his brother, Yahya Sinwar, in October of last year. Hamas rejected any Israeli claims about Mohammed Sinwar, saying in a statement, “The Palestinian resistance alone, through its official platforms, is the authority authorized to confirm or deny what is published."
