Six relatives of Hamas foreign chief Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday (see video above). Hamas said they were hit in a vehicle in a refugee camp in the north. Haniyeh has been chairman of the policy bureau since 2017.
This is considered the highest decision-making body and has 15 members. Haniyeh has lived in Qatar with part of his family for years. The fact that three sons and grandchildren have now been killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip should not particularly affect him. “I thank God for the honor he has bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and several grandchildren,” Qatari television channel Al Jazeera quoted the Hamas leader as saying.
‘No more valuable than other children’
He continued: “The blood of my children is not more valuable than the blood of the children of the Palestinian people. All the martyrs of Palestine are my children.” crazy,” Haniyeh said in response to Israel. He was referring to the indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of more hostages.
An Israeli army spokesman confirmed the killing of three sons and said they were Hamas fighters. However, the murder of the grandchildren has not been confirmed.
Sister arrested
Earlier this month, Israeli police had already arrested one of Haniyeh’s sisters, who lives in southern Israel. The 57-year-old is suspected of “maintaining contact with Hamas activists,” the report said. It must also support and incite terrorist attacks in Israel.
The Israeli army repeatedly kills political and military leaders of Hamas and other militant Palestinian organizations. In Haniyeh’s case, several family members were reportedly murdered in October.
