In an interview with Al Jazeera, Hamas top leader Ismail Haniyeh confirmed the killing of his sons, identifying them as Hazem, Amir and Mohammad.

He also said a number of his grandchildren were also killed in the Israeli attack, joining dozens of his relatives who have been killed in the conflict so far.

“Through the blood of the martyrs and the pain of the injured, we create hope, we create the future, we create independence and freedom for our people and our nation,” the Hamas leader said.

According to Al Jazeera, the attack targeting Haniyeh’s sons and their children took place on the Shati refugee camp, northwest of Gaza City.
