Hamas-affiliated media outlets in Gaza report that Azzam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya, was killed in an Israeli strike in the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City.

There are currently no additional details about the incident.

Another son, Imam al-Hayya, was killed in the Israeli strike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar in September 2025.
