All three were killed in the attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IDF Used Bunker-Buster Bombs in Precision Strike<\/strong><br \/>\nLast week\u2019s Israeli airstrike was described as surgical, based on high-level intelligence, and utilized bunker-busting munitions. The Israeli Air Force targeted all entry and exit points to the tunnel complex, collapsing the structure and creating a suffocating underground vacuum\u2014echoing past operations such as the one that reportedly killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Documentation of the Underground Infrastructure:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h4eahWaHZ-Q?si=mUexzSHMggsWQwNR\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>Footage of Underground Infrastructure Exposed Beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis | Photo: IDF Spokesperson\u2019s Unit<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bodies Recovered and Buried in Secret<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to sources, Israeli special forces entered the collapsed tunnel to confirm the identities of the deceased. The bodies, including Sinwar\u2019s, were later moved to a nearby tunnel, shrouded, and buried temporarily underground to prevent Israeli strikes during any attempt to surface them. Families of the deceased were informed in the last two days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Blow to Hamas Leadership<\/strong><br \/>\nMuhammad Sinwar was known as one of Hamas\u2019 most brutal and strategically dangerous commanders, widely seen as one of the masterminds behind the October 7, 2023 terrorist massacre. His death marks a serious blow to Hamas\u2019 military leadership both operationally and symbolically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Killed: Western Battalion Commander<\/strong><br \/>\nSources further reported that Mahdi Kawara, commander of the western battalion in the Khan Younis Brigade, was also killed during the operation. Kawara was not inside the tunnel but was located in a nearby home hit in the same strike, apparently entering or exiting via one of the tunnel access points inside the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IDF Chief: \u201cHamas Will Pay the Price\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring a tour of the Gaza front, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated: \u201cHamas will pay for its refusal to release the hostages. We will expand our ground maneuver, seize more territory, and continue to destroy their terror infrastructure.\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23927\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23927\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2.webp 1600w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mohammad-2-1536x1023.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir touring Gaza amid ongoing operations | Photo: IDF Spokesperson\u2019s Unit<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nThe operation was part of the ongoing Operation Gideon&#8217;s Chariots, and immediately after the strike on the tunnel, IDF aircraft hit additional Hamas squads attempting to retrieve casualties\u2014ensuring complete elimination of the leadership present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas commander was in underground bunker for three days before precision IDF operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":23926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,6],"tags":[2626,1476,1477,1475,5790],"class_list":["post-23925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-security","tag-eyal-zamir","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-idf","tag-muhammad-sinwar"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
