Chilling video shows the moment top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh hears for the first time that his three sons and a some of his grandchildren have been killed in an Israel i airstrike in Gaza.
Haniyeh, who has 13 sons and daughters according to Hamas sources, later said his three sons and four of his grandchildren were killed in a fatal strike near the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. Israel claims Mohammed and Hazem were Hamas military operatives, while Amir was a cell commander. Haniyeh, 61, later confirmed the news to Al Jazeera, telling the broadcaster: 'I am grateful to God for the honor he has given me in the deaths of three of my children and a few of my grandchildren.'
A report today has suggested that Israeli forces carried out the air strike without consulting senior commanders or political leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The IDF claimed that the three Haniyeh brothers were 'en route to carry out terror activity in the area of central Gaza' when they were hit by the strike.
The three brothers - Hazem, Ameer and Mohammed - were travelling with family members in a single vehicle targeted by an Israeli drone, local media said The three brothers - Hazem, Ameer and Mohammed - were travelling with family members in a single vehicle targeted by an Israeli drone, Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV said.
Israeli officials visited Egypt at the start of last week in a bid to secure a deal, but a Palestinian official close to the mediation procedure said there had been no signs that a breakthrough was underway. The 'exchange deal' the supreme leader mentioned would be the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in return for Israeli hostages being held by militants in Gaza since the deadly October 7 massacre on the Supernova music festival in Israel, led by Hamas.
US President Joe Biden also commented on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza - calling it a 'mistake'. He described the attacks as 'outrageous' as his patience seemingly begins to grow thin with Netanyahu.
