Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is ''no way'' Israel will halt its war in Gaza — where two hospitals were struck Tuesday, killing at least eight people — even if a deal is reached to release more hostages.

Israeli officials said the military had launched an attack targeting Mohammad Sinwar, one of Hamas’s top remaining commanders in Gaza and the brother of a leader killed last year.

Hassan Aslih, who was being treated for injuries from a previous Israeli strike, was targeted in what witnesses described as a drone attack on the hospital's surgical wing. A doctor there confirmed that Aslih had been at the hospital for nearly a month after surviving an air strike on the same facility in April.
