**US and Russia to Discuss Ukraine Peace Talks**
The US has confirmed that its top envoy, Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel has been trying to stop Hamas from being a strong military force.
The envoy will meet with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia soon. This is part of efforts to find peace in the conflict in Ukraine.
Hamas is a group based in Gaza, which is controlled by Palestinians. The US says it can’t be allowed to keep its strength as a government or army.
**Israel Targets Armed Men in Gaza**
The Israeli military has targeted several armed men in southern Gaza with powerful bombs. These bombs are so strong that they can destroy buildings and cause huge damage.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was recently broken, leading to more fighting. The two sides have agreed to swaps of hostages in the past to try and stop the violence.
