Mohammad Sinwar was Hamas's leader after his brother Yahya Sinwar was killed in October
Sinwar was the brother of Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind behind the October 7 attack, and became Hamas's de facto leader after he was killed in October.
The elusive new chief was eliminated in a massive airstrike on the European Hospital in southern Gaza on May 13.
Footage posted to the IDF's X account shows the journey down into the tunnels where he died.
It begins outside a building with a large "Emergency" sign, identified by the IDF as the European Hospital in Khan Yunis.

The drone then flies down a narrow gully and into a fortified underground passage.
It is supported by concrete walls, which are lined with electricity cables and illuminated by bulbs.
The drone enters various larger chambers crammed with supplies and signs of living quarters, such as sleeping bags and kitchen ware.
The IDF said: "Mohammad Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of countless civilians. He was eliminated in an IDF & ISA strike on May 13.
"His body was found beneath the European hospital in Khan Yunis - more proof of how Sinwar, and Hamas, hide behind their civilians and purposely embed themselves in civilian areas, such as hospitals.
"He died the way he lived—underground."
Death of Hamas chief Mohammad Sinwar could cause DECIMATED terror group to implode
A separate clip shows four armed IDF soldiers in an underground bunker, which spokesperson BG Effie Defrin claims is "right beneath the European Hospital".
He said they found "cash", "weapons" and "ammunition" that were stashed for "cynical use".
Sinwar took command of Hamas' military wing after Mohammad Deif was killed last July and later took over the entire terror group after his brother was killed.
He was believed to have been behind the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006 - which eventually led to the release of his brother in a prisoner swap.

Sinwar was also named by experts as Hamas's most senior commander in Gaza alongside Izz al-Din Haddad.
Israel announced his death last month, but now say they have confirmed his identity with DNA tests.
The IDF said at the time it was a targeted hit on "Hamas terrorists in a command-and-control centre" beneath the medical centre.
Netanyahu's forces are believed to have used bunker-busting bombs to target the underground complex.
The operation also killed Mohammad Shabana, who commanded the Rafah Brigade cell of Hamas, according to Defrin.
He was one of Hamas's most senior commanders and was instrumental in constructing the tunnels beneath Rafah used to launch the cross border raids of October 7.

Defrin said: "We will dismantle Hamas because we cannot live with this terror organisation right in our backyard, right across our border."
Hamas has not commented on reports of the death of either Sinwar or Shabana.
Announcing Sinwar's death to the Israeli parliament, Netanyahu said: "We eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists, Mohammad Deif, Hassan Nasrallah, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammad Sinwar, and seized the Rafah and Morag crossings.
"In the last two days, we've been executing a dramatic plan toward the complete defeat of Hamas.
"We're taking control of their food distribution and money machine. This is what destroys their governing capabilities.
"That's what we promised."

Rapper Silentó gets 30-year sentence for murdering own cousin after getting felony charge dropped despite video evidence

He admitted to the shooting just days after the crime KILLER RAPPER Rapper Silentó gets 30-year sentence for murdering own cousin after getting felony charge dropped despite video evidence Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RAPPER Silentó will spend 30 years in prison for shooting his cousin to death in 2021. Silentó, real name Ricky Hawk, is best known for his viral 2015 song Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ricky Hawk in his mugshot at DeKalb County Sheriff's Office Credit: DeKalb County Sheriff's Office 2 Silentó in July 2015, shortly after his song Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) was released Credit: AP Hawk, 27, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and concealing the death of another. The Atlanta rapper was originally indicted on a felony charge of malice murder, but took a plea deal for lesser charges. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Hawk shot his cousin, Frederick Rooks III, dead early on the morning of January 21, 2021. Rooks, 34, was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his face and leg. It is still unclear what led up to the shooting. Home security camera footage from the scene caught several cars speeding away and captured at least one gunshot, cops said. Hawk admitted to the shooting in an interview with investigators several days after it occurred, according to the DeKalb district attorney. Bullet casings found at the scene also matched a gun Hawk had when he was arrested. At the sentencing on Wednesday, Rooks' siblings said Hawk's sentencing should have been harsher. "We just want justice,' Rooks' brother told the judge, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. In 2021, Hawk's manager released a statement after his arrest asking fans for their support. "Please send my client Silentó some positive vibrations," the manager, Chanel Hudson, said at the time. "Over the past several years, Ricky has been suffering immensely from a series of mental health illnesses. "We will continue in his efforts of treatment, but we ask in the meantime the public uplift him and his family in immediate prayer and positive energy!! "Ricky is a beautiful soul, and we hope that the same people who came up whipping' & nay nay-in with him, continue to support him and lifted in prayer!! God bless." RISE TO FAME Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) was released when Hawk was just a junior in high school in Stone Mountain, Georgia, near Atlanta. The song charted globally and started a social media trend of people doing a dance associated with the song. Hawk's first full-length album came out in 2019. The next year, Hawk was arrested twice - once for driving 143 miles per hour on the highway and another time for breaking into a random home in Los Angeles with a hatchet. Hawk's sentence includes credit for the time he's served in DeKalb County Jail since February 1, 2021.

Greta 'mistreated and mocked' by dancing Israeli officials before deportation

French doctor Bapiste Andre was on 'freedom flotilla' with Greta Thunberg - he said the group were subject to 'mockery' when they were intercepted by Israeli officials An activist on the 'freedom flotilla' boat with Greta Thunberg has said the latter was mistreated by Israeli officials. There "were acts of mistreatment" according to Baptiste Andre, who spoke to French media after the group of 12 were brought to the port of Ashdod. Mr Andre, a doctor, said there were 'no acts of physical violence', but that they were subject to sleep deprivation and 'mockery' by Israeli officials. He said this was 'especially' focussed on Ms Thunberg. 'As soon as [ Thunberg ] fell asleep, the immigration services came to wake her up' he claimed, adding that music was turned loud and members of the immigration services 'danced in front of us'. ‌ ‌ Adding there was some difficulty for the detainees in gaining access to food, water and toilets, Andre said: 'It took three hours to get a piece of bread.' On X, the Israeli foreign ministry said: 'The passengers of the 'Selfie Yacht' arrived at Ben Gurion Airport to depart from Israel and return to their home countries. Those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority.' Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said Thunberg was party to ' Instagram activism'. Israeli officials have received criticism after calling the group anti-semitic amid their attempts to bring food to people in Gaza. The UN has warned Gaza's population is at risk of famine. Ms Thunberg was one of 12 passengers on the Madleen, a ship carrying aid to Gaza. Israeli naval forces seized the boat without incident early on Monday about 125 miles off of Gaza's coast, according to the coalition, which along with rights groups, said Israel's actions were a violation of international law. Israel rejects that charge because it says such ships intend to breach what it argues is a lawful naval blockade of Gaza. ‌ Speaking upon arrival at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, Ms Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Freedom Flotilla. She described a 'quite chaotic and uncertain' situation during the detention. The activist added the conditions they faced 'are absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now'. 'We were well aware of the risks of this mission,' Ms Thunberg added. 'The aim was to get to Gaza and to be able to distribute the aid.' She said the activists would continue trying to get aid to Gaza.
