"I've seen the statement that Hamas put out. I can't confirm or verify. We have no independent confirmation," Kirby said during the White House press briefing Wednesday afternoon.
Neither could Kirby say, when asked, what potential impact the killing could have as the U.S. continues to negotiate a potential ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. More than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 90,000 wounded in the war in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, although the count does not differentiate between civilians and terrorists.
