A command and control bunker under the European Hospital in Khan Yunis was attacked. Israeli security officials believe that several top leaders, including Hamas military chief Mohammed Sinwar, were killed in the attack.
The Israeli army launched a massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip amid US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East. At least 70 Palestinians were killed on Wednesday (May 14), local health authorities said.
The occupation forces carried out airstrikes on several houses in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza on Wednesday. Most of the casualties were caused by this. Doctors said that most of the dead were women and children.
The Israeli army did not immediately comment on the attack, but said that it was verifying the information about the incident. Israeli media reported that a command and control bunker under the European Hospital in Khan Yunis was attacked on Tuesday. Israeli security officials believe that several top Hamas leaders, including military chief Mohammed Sinwar, were killed in the attack.
Meanwhile, witnesses and doctors said that several people were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a bulldozer near the European Hospital.
Earlier on Tuesday night, the Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-backed armed group close to Hamas, fired rockets towards Israel. Shortly after, the Israeli army ordered the evacuation of residents from Jabalia and the surrounding area. Israel then launched a counterattack.
