Israel says Hamas rejected cease-fire proposal after Iran attack

Hamas, a militant group supported by Iran, turned down the outline presented by mediators, according to Mossad, the Israeli external-intelligence agency. While Mossad didn’t directly say the Iran drone and missile strikes on Israel were to blame, it said Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, “is continuing to exploit the tension with Iran” and “does not want a humanitarian deal and the return of the hostages.”
