Israel's defence forces have revealed the moment the body of de facto Hamas chief Mohammad Sinwar was pulled from tunnels beneath a hospital in Khan Yunis some four weeks after the facility was battered with air strikes.
The IDF said it had confirmed the death of Sinwar - brother of former Hamas leader in Gaza and October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar - on Sunday with a DNA test. The military also shared his alleged documentation and driver's license.
His rotting corpse was discovered lying on a filthy mattress in one of several small annexes connected by a web of tunnels under the EU-funded European Hospital.
He is presumed to have died from asphyxiation after bombs collapsed part of the tunnel network and sucked the air from the underground hideouts.
Israeli soldiers wearing body cameras explored the dank man-made cave system littered with weapons, debris and dead Hamas fighters before locating the slain terror chief.
