Israeli strikes in Gaza injure Hamas leader's son and kill at least five
Israeli air strikes in Gaza have critically wounded Azzam Al-Hayya, the son of Hamas exiled Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya, and killed at least five people across the enclave, according to medics and Hamas sources.
The strike on Azzam Al-Hayya also killed another person in Gaza City, the sources said.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on that incident.
Earlier in the day, two other strikes killed four Palestinians, including a colonel in the Hamas-run police force, health officials said.
Medics also said Naseem al-Kalazani, who headed the anti-narcotics force in Khan Younis, was killed when his vehicle was hit near the al-Mawasi area.
At least 17 other people were wounded in the attack near al-Mawasi, according to medics.
The Israeli military confirmed it had carried out a strike in the area, saying it was targeting a Hamas operative.
The latest deaths come as Israel has intensified attacks on Hamas-linked security figures in Gaza.
They also add to pressure on indirect talks over the enclave's future, which have been taking place in Cairo this week.
