"Israeli Airstrike Kills Hamas Leader's Sons as U.S. Considers Joint Strike Against Iran"

Three sons of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, complicating ongoing ceasefire negotiations and hostage deal talks. The Israeli military confirmed the attack, stating that the men were Hamas military operatives, but CNN was unable to independently confirm this. The airstrike also killed at least three of Haniyeh's grandchildren and the driver. International pressure to reach a ceasefire deal is mounting as the devastation and suffering in Gaza worsens, with CIA Director Bill Burns presenting a new proposal to bridge the gaps in negotiations. However, Hamas indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than is publicly known.
