Palestinian media reports new Israeli airstrikes near the European Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning, where yesterday the IDF targeted Hamas leader Muhammad Sinwar.

The strikes appear to be an attempt by the IDF to prevent anyone from approaching a tunnel beneath the medical center where Sinwar was targeted. His fate remains unclear.

One strike this morning near the hospital hit a bulldozer, according to Palestinian media.
