Mr Haniyeh did not specify his sons’ roles in Hamas but called them martyrs.
Mr Ismail Haniyeh said 60 members of his extended family had been killed by Israel over time and that the strike on April 10 had killed some grandchildren in addition to the three sons.
Mr Haniyeh, who has long shuttled between Qatar and Turkey, said in the statement that 60 members of his extended family had been killed by Israel over time and that the strike on April 10 had killed some grandchildren in addition to the three sons. In confirming the strike on Haniyeh’s three adult sons – who it named as Amir, Mohammad and Hazem Haniyeh – the Israeli military said all three were Hamas military operatives. The strike was conducted on Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
There are about 100 living hostages remaining in Gaza, according to Israeli officials. The Hamas official said on April 10 that Israel was demanding that young men and soldiers now be included among the first 40 released captives to meet the requirements of the framework under negotiation. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reiterated threats of retribution against Israel in a speech he made Wednesday for Eid al-Fitr. Attacking an embassy building, he said, “means that they have attacked our soil”.
