Israeli media reports revealed that Israel's senior commanders and political leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, were not consulted before a military strike resulted in the deaths of three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza. The airstrike, coordinated by the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet intelligence service, targeted Amir, Mohammad, and Hazem Haniyeh as fighters, not because of their relation to the Hamas leader.
Ismail Haniyeh, who has been living in exile in Qatar, has 13 children, and reports suggest that four of his grandchildren were also killed in the attack near the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV station confirmed the deaths and aired footage of Haniyeh receiving the news while visiting wounded Palestinians in a hospital in Doha.
