The family home of exiled Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which was destroyed earlier in an apparent Israeli strike, was being used by two of his sons, senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad tells The Associated Press.

Hamas had no immediate details on damage or casualties.

The home was located in a narrow alley in al-Shathi neighborhood of Gaza City.  Haniyeh, a former aide to Hamas’ founder, Ahmed Yassin, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2004, has been in exile since 2019.
