"Israel Strikes Target Top Hamas Leaders in Gaza, Killing Number 2 and Possibly Number 1"

Israel is investigating whether Hamas's second-highest military leader, Marwan Issa, was killed in an airstrike on the Al-Nusseirat camp in central Gaza. Talks for a ceasefire during Ramadan have stumbled, with Israel seeking to defeat Hamas and secure the release of hostages, while Hamas blames Israel for refusing to give guarantees to end the war and withdraw troops. The conflict has displaced most of Gaza's 2.3 million people, with the United Nations estimating about a quarter of the population at risk of starvation. Efforts to deliver aid via sea are underway, with the U.S. planning to build a temporary seaport off the Gazan coast.
