"Israeli Forces Kill Top Hamas Leaders, U.S. Confirms, as Famine Threatens Gaza"

White House confirms Hamas' no. 2 military leader Marwan Issa died in an Israeli air strike, as President Biden presses Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for a clear end game in the war with Hamas, expressing concern over rising civilian casualties and criticizing plans to invade Rafah as a "mistake." The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 31,000 since the conflict began on Oct. 7, with Western leaders urging for a cease-fire and humanitarian aid, while Israeli officials believe Hamas' top leaders remain in hiding.
