ALBAWABA - Hazem, the son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, was reportedly targeted by Israeli forces, according to Palestinian reports on Saturday. This incident adds to the series of losses experienced by the Haniyeh family amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Alongside Hazem, other members of Ismail Haniyeh's family have also lost their lives during the hostilities, including his brother, nephew, nephew's grandson, and grandchildren.
The eldest grandson of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political bureau, Mohammed Jamal Haniyeh, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza.
Palestinian media outlets reported that Mohammed Jamal Haniyeh, the eldest grandson of Ismail Haniyeh, along with his daughter, were killed during an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, at the onset of the October Seven War.
Israeli broadcasting claimed that Ismail Haniyeh's son, a member of Hamas's political bureau, was among those martyred in the bombing of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza.
Additionally, Taher al-Nono, the media advisor to Haniyeh, announced the death of another granddaughter in an Israeli airstrike on one of the UNRWA schools in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 27,365 people, with more than 66,630 injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
