Son of Hamas Gaza chief injured in Israeli strike, five others killed
The strikes also killed a Hamas police commander and wounded at least 17 people, as ceasefire talks faced a dispute over disarmament.
- On Thursday, Hamas confirmed that Azzam al-Hayya, son of senior Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike in Gaza City's Daraj neighborhood on Wednesday night.
- Khalil al-Hayya has lost three other sons in previous Israeli strikes, including two in Gaza in 2008 and 2014, and accused Israel of attempting to undermine mediators' efforts to advance the U.S. Gaza plan.
- An Israeli military source stated the strike targeted a Hamas Nukhba operative in the Daraj Tuffah area and that Azzam al-Hayya was not the intended target but wounded as secondary damage.
- Hamas warned that such "crimes" would not persuade the group to change its positions, refusing to engage in serious talks until Israel concludes initial obligations under the ceasefire agreement.
- While fighting continues, at least 830 Palestinians have been killed since the October ceasefire took effect, as negotiators led by envoy Nickolay Mladenov met in Cairo this week to push the U.S. plan forward.
