An Israeli airstrike on Wednesday night resulted in the death of Azzam Al-Hayya, the son of Khalil Al-Hayya, a chief negotiator for Hamas in U.S.-mediated talks regarding Gaza. This incident occurred as Hamas leaders were in Cairo discussing a peace plan proposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Azzam succumbed to his injuries on Thursday, becoming the fourth son of Khalil Al-Hayya to be killed in Israeli strikes. The Israeli military has intensified its operations against Hamas, claiming the strikes target militants planning attacks against Israel. In the wake of Azzam's death, Hamas officials accused Israel of undermining the negotiations. The ongoing violence complicates the implementation of Trump's Gaza plan, which includes a ceasefire and disarmament of Hamas. Since the ceasefire began, at least 830 Palestinians have reportedly been killed, while Israel has lost four soldiers. Hamas has stated it will not engage in serious negotiations until Israel fulfills its obligations under the initial phase of the peace deal, including a complete cessation of attacks.
