Three sons of Hamas leader leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza, Hamas-affiliated news agency Shehab said on Wednesday.
The Iranian-aligned Lebanese outlet al-Mayadeen reported, citing Palestinian sources, that the strike had also killed several of Haniyeh's grandchildren, and that they had been killed in a vehicle in the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.
Israeli media reported that Haniyeh had later confirmed that three of his sons and three of his grandchildren had been killed in the strike.
"All of Gaza's citizens paid a price with the blood of their children, including me," he was cited as saying.
