Earlier this week, Palestinian media reported that over 10 people, including Hamas politburo chief's sister and several people whose surname was Haniyeh, died in an Israeli strike on Haniyeh's family house.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel and breached the border, attacking both civilian neighborhoods and military bases. Nearly 1,200 people in Israel were killed and some 240 others abducted during the attack.

More than 100 hostages are still believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza.
