Saudi Report: Mohammed Sinwar's Body Found in Tunnel

Saudi report: Mohammed Sinwar's body found in tunnel

[girlactionfigure]

And how did Israel know when and where to take out Mohammed Sinwar and most of the remaining senior Hamas leaders?

Remember some days ago when the two men in the photo above surrendered to Israeli forces in southern Gaza?

One was a commander in Hamas's "Rafah Brigade" and reportedly provided the intelligence the IDF needed to precisely hit the underground command and control center located beneath the European hospital in Khan Yunis.

Ch. 4 film, 'Doctors Under Attack': Propaganda framed as journalism

The documentary film "Gaza; Doctors Under Attack", directed by Karim Shah and presented by Ramita Navai, was commissioned by the BBC but was

by Adam Levick

Only towards the end of the film are viewers told that Mohammed Sinwar was eliminated in a tunnel hiding under the European Hospital – a fact which undermines the film’s premise, but is not presented as such.  In fact, throughout the film, evidence showing that the IDF has arduously tried to avoid civilian/healthcare worker casualties is presented in a way which misleads viewers through language, music and stylistic choices, making it far less likely that they’d reach that conclusion.

For instance, viewers are told that “The army dropped thousands of leaflets warning the residents of northern Gaza to evacuate, and issued evacuation orders for hospitals in the north“, which, again, undermines their conclusion. But, that fact isn’t presented as evidence of anything other than patients and healthcare workers being ‘forced’ to leave, thus putatively representing more evidence of Israel’s efforts to undermine Gaza’s medical system.

Viewers are told that “In 20 months, all of Gaza’s hospitals have been attacked, forced to evacuate or destroyed“, framing the humanitarian policy of evacuating innocents as part of their overall ‘attack on Gaza hospitals’ narrative.

Viewers are also told that, in May 2024, when the IDF attempted to target terror operatives at Al-Awda hospital, the “IDF ordered evacuation orders…then raided and shut down the hospital“. But, again, the natural take-away about IDF efforts to save innocent patients and healthcare workers is intentionally obscured.  It’s presented – by the use of words like “ordered”, “raided” and “shut down” – as another example of an ‘attack’ on Gaza’s healthcare.

Kamal Adwan Hospital, viewers are told, “was attacked after being forcibly evacuated.” The word “forcibly” before “evacuated” allows the filmmakers to give the impression of IDF malevolence, and as another example of an assault on Gaza’s healthcare, instead of as more proof that the IDF has gone out of its way to avoid harming innocent people at Gaza’s hospitals while targeting terrorists who exploit the facilities.

Another example of this gross distortion is when viewers are told that the Israeli “army invaded [a] hospital and displaced all the health care workers and patients”. In other words, they were evacuated to avoid harming them.

“At the start of the war, the IDF attacked Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa“, viewers are told, and that “Al-Shifa became a symbolic target for Israel“, wording (especially the word “symbolic”) falsely suggesting there was no military value in the strikes.

Viewers are told that “The IDF claimed there was a Hamas command center beneath it [al-Shifa]”, but omitted is that the White House and Pentagon had intel proving this.

Viewers are also told, concerning the IDF’s 2024 attack on terrorist targets at al-Shifa, that the IDF failed to provide “sufficient evidence showing the existence of a key Hamas command center” beneath al-Shifa, without explaining whose assessment that was based on, or how they define “sufficient evidence”?

There are also suggestions throughout the film that Israel was intentionally targeting civilians in Gaza to “weaken their resolve“.

The Oct. 7th massacre is almost entirely erased. They devote 42 seconds of the film describing and providing footage of the attacks. But, even then, viewers are told during that spectacularly brief segment, that “Israelis have been coming to this vantage point in Sderot to pay their respect for the dead and to watch attacks on Gaza“, while showing visitors at a lookout point overlooking Gaza from the Kobi hill. The clear suggestion is that Israelis ghoulishly enjoy watching attacks on Gaza.

Similarly, Hamas is erased. Their actions and decisions are not part of the film’s investigation. Their barbaric attack which started the war, motivated by an extremist, antisemitic ideology, is erased. Their documented human shield policy is similarly erased.  In short, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terror groups in Gaza are treated as ghosts – as if, since Oct. 7th, they’ve played no role in the fate of the territory.  Their role in the “destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system”, as a result of their use of such facilities for military purposes, is ignored – as is their cynical choice over 21 months not to surrender, despite the fact that surrendering would have spared Palestinian civilians, including healthcare workers, so much suffering.

Similarly, when viewers are told that “Homes, schools and universities have been destroyed, killing and injuring tens of thousands“, the hundreds of miles of Hamas terror tunnels under civilian areas is not mentioned, nor the fact that the IDF has encountered evidence of Hamas and PIJ military activity and weaponry in “homes, schools, and universities”.

All viewers are told is that “Israel says Hamas uses hospitals as part of its military strategy“, as if there’s no evidence to back up their “claims”.  It seems that a real “forensic investigation” would focus on, and investigate, this.

Report: Mohammed Sinwar's body found in tunnel near Rafah Crossing - i24NEWS

The bodies of 10 of Sinwar's aides were found next to him • Among the candidates to replace him is the Gaza Brigade Commander • Minister Kat

Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that, "according to all indications, Mohammed Sinwar was killed." The Saudi channel Al-Hadath also reported that the body of the acting Hamas leader was found in a tunnel near the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip. Alongside Sinwar, the bodies of 10 of his aides and the commander of the Rafah Brigade in Hamas, Mohammed Shabana, were found. Later it was reported that his brother, Zakaria Sinwar, was killed in an Israeli attack, but doctors reported him alive but in critical condition.

Last Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force carried out a rare attack against tunnel infrastructure near the European Hospital. i24NEWS learned that there are a number of names being floated to replace him, among them the commander of the Gaza City Division, Ezzedine al-Haddad; a leading Hamas political bureau member, Nizar Awadallah; and Khalil al-Haya, a senior member of the political arm of the terrorist organization.

On Sunday morning, Israel's security apparatus said there has been no change in the status of Sinwar, but as time goes by optimism is growing that he was successfully eliminated in the targeted killing.

BBC Verify - publicly funded Hamas propaganda

BBC Verify are not actually verifying anything. Instead the BBC's biased, amateur hacks are caught pushing raw Hamas propaganda - once again

by David Collier

It now looks likely that Israel successfully eliminated Mohammed Sinwar and other leaders of Hamas in a targeted strike last week. Which leaves the BBC flagship unit ‘BBC Verify’ looking increasingly like an anti-Israel disinformation machine.

The BBC Verify video on the ‘Gaza hospital strike’

On Tuesday afternoon (13 May 2025) Israel targeted key figures of the Hamas leadership who were hiding in a command centre beneath hospital grounds in Gaza. By Wednesday afternoon BBC Verify had turned the event into another opportunity to spread pro-Hamas propaganda.

The video the BBC Verify team published was all about how terrible Israel is – and carried footage showing how some civilians were almost certainly killed in the Israeli strike. But nothing at all in the video is really disputed at all – so just what did BBC Verify need to mobilise to check?

War is an awful thing – and having a clip of civilian casualties from the deadly strike as the Israeli ‘bunker-busting’ weaponry struck through at ground level near the entrance to the hospital was certainly worth covering in a news bulletin as *PART* of the wider story of Hamas turning hospital grounds into legitimate military targets. But it is not *THE STORY*. Because if Israel is right about Hamas leadership hiding underneath – and it looks as if Israel was right – then that changes EVERYTHING.

The obsessive, amateur activists of BBC Verify

We rarely get a more blatant misuse of BBC resources than this. There was only one issue about the Israeli strike that needed open source ‘verification’. And that is whether Mohammed Sinwar and / or other Hamas leaders were using hospital grounds as cover, or not.

If they were, then the only story in town was about Hamas being caught committing war crimes, removing the ‘do not touch’ exemptions from the hospital, and placing innocent civilians at risk.

And if that could not be verified at the time – and it couldn’t – then the only thing BBC Verify has shown by prematurely addressing the action, is that the unit is staffed by immature hacks who are more interesting in childish propaganda than acting in a professional manner. They had obviously seen (in an IDF post about the incident they claim is errant, along with the footage of the civilian damage) enough for them to string together a demonising post about Israel – which is what their entire piece is about.

But that is not what BBC Verify is supposed to be doing. BBC Verify is meant to be a fact-checking unit. And so it comes back to this – the ONLY fact that matters here is whether the Israelis are right or wrong about the Hamas command post. Did BBC Verify address this and answer that question? No, they did not.
