IDF troops operating near the European Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, located in the past day the bodies of several terror operatives who were killed in an Israeli strike on a Hamas tunnel system on May 13, military officials say.

The military believes that one of the bodies may belong to Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, who was killed in the strike.

The IDF last week denied that troops were operating “within the European Hospital compound.”
