A senior Hamas commander was killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, escalating tensions in the region.
The strike targeted Khan Younis Brigade commander Rafa Salama, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). In a separate incident, an Israeli air strike near a United Nations-run school in central Gaza killed 15 people. Following these events, Hamas announced it is pulling out of Gaza truce talks, citing the continued Israeli bombardment, including a strike that targeted another militant commander, as the reason for their withdrawal.
These developments mark a significant escalation in the conflict, with both sides showing no signs of backing down.
