7 members of Hamas leader’s family killed in Israeli airstrike – BBC News
Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh has confirmed that three of his sons and four of his grandchildren have been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.
They were targeted while travelling in a car at Al-Shati camp near Gaza City. It’s reported that they were on their way to a family celebration to mark the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid.
Mr Haniyeh has been centrally involved in negotiations seeking to broker a ceasefire in the war in Gaza, in return for the release of hostages held by Hamas. Mr Haniyeh condemned what he called “the treacherous and cowardly strike” but said the attack would not affect his search for a peace deal.
Israel has confirmed that it carried out the attack, describing the sons of Mr Haniyeh as “Hamas military operatives”. The statement did not mention the deaths of Mr Haniyeh’s four grandchildren.
Ismail Haniyeh is widely considered Hamas’s overall leader and has been a prominent member of the movement since 1980. He was elected head of Hamas’s political bureau in 2017.
Hamas-led gunmen attacked Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostage.
More than 33,000 people in Gaza, ,the majority civilians, have been killed during Israel’s offensive there since the October attack, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

Negotiators for the US and Iran have agreed a framework of a deal that would extend their ceasefire for 60 days and launch negotiations on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, US sources say.
The agreement comes amid continued strikes and accusations of ceasefire violations, with tensions still high across the region.
Talks are also said to include potential changes to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route.

More than three months after the US and Israel first began their war with Iran, Washington and Tehran have reached an initial agreement to bring about a more long-term end to hostilities.
US President Donald Trump has said it paves the way for what he called the “toll-free” opening of the Strait of Hormuz. He called on ships to start their engines and “let the oil flow”.
The full text of the deal has not yet been released. Pakistani mediators say the agreement will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday 19 June.
Our US State Department correspondent Tom Bateman tells us that President Trump and Iranian officials are already giving different accounts of what’s been agreed.

Twelve police officers injured and water cannon fired after second night of NI riots | BBC News
#Belfast #NorthernIrelandTwelve police officers have been injured and 16 people arrested in the second night of rioting in Northern Ireland.
A water cannon was deployed to disperse a large crowd during the unrest prompted by a serious knife attack in Belfast on Monday.
The family of the victim, Stephen Ogilvie, said they did not want this “terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility,” and appealed for privacy.
Hilary Benn, the UK Northern Ireland secretary, said a sense of fear “has spread amongst ethnic minority people” in Northern Ireland after the nights of violence.
On Wednesday, a 30-year-old, originally from Sudan, appeared in court charged with attempted murder over a knife attack that caused serious injuries to the victim.
