After Israel killed his two predecessors, Ezzedin al-Haddad takes over a group that is battered and depleted of veterans—but still deadly.

The killing of Mohammed Sinwar marks the end of the secretive group that planned the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.

The U.N. human rights chief says Israel’s warfare in Gaza is inflicting “horrifying, unconscionable suffering” on Palestinians and has urged government leaders to exert pressure on Israel’s government

Iran has vowed a "decisive response" to a large-scale attack conducted by Israel against key sites and personnel associated with the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and military.

The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas said Iran, its strategic ally, was "paying the price" for supporting militant groups in Gaza in their decades-long struggle against Israel, after Israel launched large-scale attacks on Friday against Iran.

The family of a Nepali man taken captive by the Palestinian militant group Hamas has appealed to his captors for his release, stressing that he has no involvement in the conflict in Gaza.

Hamas leaders outside the strip – currently based in Doha, Beirut and Istanbul – "have the upper hand once again". They are "expected to support" a ceasefire deal "relinquishing Hamas' post-war role in Gaza but preserving its standing in the Arab world".

The group, which has been harshly criticized by the U.N. and other aid providers, said at least five people had died in an attack on one of its buses.

The IDF said this area was where the body of assassinated Hamas military wing chief Mohammed Sinwar was found earlier in June, along with at least 10 other terrorists.
