Israel's military said the sons were members of Hamas's military wing.
An Israeli strike killed three of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh's sons in Gaza on Wednesday, the Palestinian leader and Israel's military said, as war rages in the Palestinian territory despite ongoing truce negotiations. The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the attack, describing the three sons as operatives in the Hamas armed wing.
Israel has bombarded Gaza since Hamas' 7 October attack in which more than 1,200 people, including an estimated 30 children, were killed and over 200 hostages taken, according to the Israeli government. More than 33,482 people have been killed in Gaza since 7 October, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in Gaza. The 7 October attack was a significant escalation in the long-standing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
