Dramatic security footage of the IDF’s strike on Hamas leader Mahmoud Sinwar was published on Wednesday.
The footage reveals the intensity of the massive explosion that shook the area, and people being violently thrown into the air by the force of the blast. About 40 bunker-busting bombs, totaling around one ton in explosives, were used in the attack, reports said.
The IDF carried out further strikes on the site on Wednesday in order to prevent Hamas forces from reaching the scene.
Sinwar’s death has not been confirmed, but senior Israeli defense officials believe that he was killed in the strike. If he was indeed killed, it could possibly lead to a breakthrough in hostage negotiations as Sinwar is considered a key obstacle in the process.
The strike targeted an underground command-and-control complex located beneath the European Hospital in southern Gaza.

The largest bombs used by Israel are approximately one ton each, not ‘in total’ for 40. That size is not considered a ‘bunker-buster’, but 40 in a row will do the trick…
anyone else noticed how people ran by, no one attempting to help the injured man?
Real stellar people these guys.
