Three sons and four grandsons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh were reportedly killed in an Israeli military strike. Hanija is considered the number one terrorist organization. “We thank God for the honor He has given us through sacrifice,” he said, according to a statement.
BThree sons and four grandchildren of Hamas' foreign leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, according to Islamic Hamas. They were attacked in a vehicle in Al-Shadi refugee camp in the northern part of the coastal region.
The Israeli military confirmed that the target was killed. Three members of the Hamas military wing were “taken out” in an airstrike during terror operations in the Gaza Strip, the military said. The army confirmed that these were Haniya's sons.
“He thanked God for the honor he has given us through the sacrifice of my three sons and some of my grandchildren,” Haniya said in Doha, according to a report seen by broadcaster Al-Jazeera. Hamas confirmed the deaths of Haniya's three sons and four grandchildren.
Ismail Haniya confirmed the death of his sons, saying they had become martyrs “on the path to the liberation of Jerusalem”. “The criminal enemy is driven by a spirit of revenge and murder, and he does not respect norms and laws,” Hanija said in a phone interview. Hamas will not give up its position.
“By targeting their families, the enemy believes they are making leaders abandon the needs of our people,” Hania said. “Anyone who thinks that attacking my sons will make Hamas change its position is crazy.”
Al-Jazeera reported that Haniya said that the blood of her children is not more valuable than the blood of the children of the Palestinian people. “All the martyrs of Palestine are my children.”
Haniyeh is considered the number one leader of radical Islamist Hamas. He heads their politburo from the Gulf emirate of Qatar, where he resides. He is considered one of the masterminds of the unprecedented Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, along with Jahja Sinwar, the political Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, and Mohammed Taif, the military Hamas leader.
According to Israeli figures, at least 1,160 people were killed in the major attack by Islamist Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist organization by the European Union and the United States, and 250 were taken hostage in the Gaza Strip.
Subsequently, Israel has carried out a massive military operation in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas-controlled health ministry, which cannot be independently verified, more than 33,300 people have been killed so far.
