Sinwar, former head of the Hamas military wing, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on May 13 in Khan Yunis.
The operation, conducted jointly with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), targeted senior Hamas figures operating in an underground command and control center.

The military may have used, back in May, a bunker buster bomb in their attempted attack against Sinwar, defense sources told the Post.
Following that initial attack, the IDF reportedly struck the area where Sinwar was allegedly located a second time, with the objective of preventing the evacuation of casualties, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.
The IDF previously said the airstrike was carried out using extensive intelligence measures aimed at avoiding civilian harm. The targeted command center was located beneath the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, but hospital operations were not disrupted.
