According to Xinhua News Agency, the Israel Defense Forces announced on the evening of the 10th that the three sons of Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Politburo, were killed in the Gaza Strip on the same day.
On the same day, the IDF and the Israeli General Directorate of National Security (GSN) issued a joint statement saying that the Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike on the central Gaza Strip on the same day, killing three Hamas fighters, including a squad commander. The three were later identified as Chania's sons.
Israeli public broadcaster, citing anonymous Israeli government officials, said that neither Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu nor Defense Minister Gallant had prior knowledge of the airstrike, which could have a negative impact on ongoing ceasefire talks in Gaza.

The Hamas media office issued a statement on the 10th, saying that the Israeli army attacked the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City that day, killing at least five people, three of whom were Haniyeh's sons and the other two were Haniyeh's grandchildren. In an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera TV on the same day, Haniyeh said that Israel's killing of several of his relatives would not make Hamas make concessions in the Gaza ceasefire talks.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Haniyeh said his son and grandchildren were killed when they were hit by a missile fired by an Israeli drone while driving to visit relatives on Eid al-Fitr. Nearly 60 of his relatives have been killed in the clashes.
