Hamas withdraws from Gaza truce talks after Israeli strike on camp, senior official says
Hamas has withdrawn from talks working towards a ceasefire in the Gaza war, according to a senior official from the Palestinian militant group, who said the group's political leader had told international mediators Qatar and Egypt working on a phased proposal since May that the group was halting negotiations over Israel's "continued obstruction" as well as "ongoing massacres against unarmed civilians". The talks' collapse comes a day after an Israeli airstrike on a humanitarian "safe zone", which Israel said targeted Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, killed at least 92. Hamas officials also said on Sunday that Deif was still alive.
