Three of Ismail Haniyeh’s sons and a number of his grandchildren were killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted a car in the Beach camp, west of Gaza.

Gaza – 3 sons of the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, and a number of his grandchildren were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli raid that targeted a car transporting them in the Beach camp, west of Gaza City.

Eyewitnesses reported to Anadolu correspondent that an Israeli air strike targeted a car carrying members of the Haniyeh family in the Beach Camp, who were going around to congratulate the camp residents and their relatives on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

Witnesses stated that the raid completely destroyed the car, killing and wounding everyone in it.

Meanwhile, medical sources told Anadolu Agency that the bombing resulted in the killing of 3 of Haniyeh’s sons: Hazem, Amir, and Muhammad, and a number of their sons, in addition to wounding others.

For its part, the government media office in Gaza confirmed, in a statement, that “the Israeli occupation army committed a massacre against the family of Ismail Haniyeh on the afternoon of the first day of Eid al-Fitr by bombing a car in which a number of his children and grandchildren were traveling. The victims of this massacre were five martyrs so far, in addition to a number of injuries.”

The office said, “The occupation army committed this massacre during a tour of the Haniyeh family, which was carrying out social and family visits on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.”

He added: “This crime comes as a continuation of a series of ongoing occupation crimes against civilians, children and women, despite the sacred atmosphere of Eid al-Fitr.”

He expressed his condemnation of “the occupation’s continuing crimes against our Palestinian people,” noting that more than 125 people were killed in various Israeli raids in hospitals during the past 24 hours.

Eid al-Fitr fell this year while Israel was waging a devastating war on Gaza, leaving more than 100,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly, according to Palestinian and UN data.
