Turkish media has claimed that Captain Yair Netanyahu, the nephew of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was killed in a Hamas attack.
The claim was made by the Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency, which cited unnamed sources in the Israeli military. The agency said that Netanyahu, 25, was killed in an attack on a military base in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
The Israeli military has not yet confirmed the death, but it has said that it is investigating the incident.
The attack on the military base killed three Israeli soldiers and wounded several others. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it was carried out by a group of Palestinian militants.
The death of Netanyahu would be a major blow to the Israeli government. Netanyahu has been a strong advocate for military action against Hamas, and his nephew's death would likely further harden his resolve.
The claim of Netanyahu's death has been met with mixed reactions in Israel. Some people have expressed their condolences to the Netanyahu family, while others have questioned the credibility of the Turkish media.
The Israeli military is expected to release a statement on the incident soon.
