The son of Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya died on Thursday of wounds sustained in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip, as Israel confirmed an attack on a top Hezbollah commander in the Lebanese capital, in the latest violations of ceasefire deals in both areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Anadolu correspondent said Azzam al-Hayya breathed his last after suffering critical injuries in the strike that targetted the Daraj neighbourhood east of Gaza City on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, Hayya said his son had been seriously wounded in the Israeli attack, accusing Israel of seeking to achieve its goals through \u201cpressure, killing and terrorism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video footage from Gaza City showed mourners carrying Azzam\u2019s body from Al-Shifa Hospital before his burial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Palestinian sources, Azzam was Hayya\u2019s fourth son to have been killed by Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Separately, the Israeli army confirmed in a statement on Thursday that it had killed Ahmed Balout, whom it described as the commander of Hezbollah\u2019s Radwan Force, in a strike in Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
