Israeli Strikes Kill Civilians in Gaza as IDF Targets Hamas Commander

Israeli strikes on displacement camps and a so-called safe zone in Gaza killed multiple civilians, including a child and a brother and sister, and injured dozens. The IDF said one strike killed Walid Haniyeh, a Hamas commander and nephew of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whom it accused of involvement in the October 7 attacks. Israeli minister statements indicated Prime Minister Netanyahu is seeking a broader military operation in Gaza. Hamas reportedly blocked planned anti-regime protests in the territory.
