Three Sons and Four Grandchildren of Hamas Leader Killed in Israeli AirstrikeThree sons and four grandchildren of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip during the Eid al-Fitr celebration. The Israeli military confirmed the attack, describing Haniyeh's three sons as operatives in Hamas' armed wing. Hazem, Amir, and Mohammad were reported to be killed when the car they were driving was bombed at the Al-Shati camp in Gaza. According to Hamas, four grandchildren of Haniyeh, three girls and one boy, were also killed in the attack. Haniyeh, based in Qatar, has been active in Hamas' international diplomacy as the conflict with Israel worsens in Gaza, where his family home was destroyed in an airstrike last November. 'The blood of my sons is no more valuable than the blood of our people,' he said, quoted by Al Jazeera TV.
