Hamas-linked media said the car his sons were travelling in was hit in Al-Shati camp near Gaza City.

Haniyeh said that the incident would not change Hamas's demands in talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire deal.

Israel's military said the sons were members of Hamas's military wing - a claim denied by Haniyeh.

The group was reportedly on its way to a family celebration to mark the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid.
