No one denies that Gehenna also was an actual place outside of Jerusalem, where people centuries back had been sacrificed and which by the time of Jesus was mostly used as a place to burn trash, but during those hundreds of years Gehenna had gotten an additional meaning, an allegorical name for a place in the spiritual realm where the wicked shall be punished.
So when Jesus says "Gehenna" he means a spiritual place like Hell.
