Israel’s State Attorney has indicted the sister of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on charges of incitement and showing solidarity with a “terror group”, after she allegedly praised Hamas’ October 7 attack, Reuters reports.
Sabah al-Salem Haniyeh, 57, has been held in custody since her arrest on April 1, Israel’s justice ministry said. There was no immediate comment from her lawyer.
According to the indictment, in the days after the October 7 attack in southern Israel, Haniyeh sent messages to dozens of contacts, including to her brother, praising the cross-border assault and calling for further “slaughter”.
