Hamas Leader’s Family Killed in Israeli Air Strike

Summary:
An Israeli air strike early Tuesday killed 10 family members of Hamas’s Qatar-based chief, Ismail Haniyeh, including his sister, in the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to Hamas and Gaza’s civil defense agency. Israeli military acknowledged the reports but couldn’t confirm them. Haniyeh vowed to continue Hamas’s resistance against Israel, despite the loss. The bodies were transferred to Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, with several wounded also reported. Haniyeh criticized Israel for targeting civilians and committing what he described as "massacres." This incident follows a series of deadly confrontations since the conflict began on October 7, after Hamas’s attack on southern Israel, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.
