‘Only one Haniyeh relative killed, and he was about to fire rockets at Israel’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLatest reports say one of Ismail Haniyeh’s relatives, not two, died in an Israeli air raid earlier this afternoon.
Channel 2 says the dead man was a known terrorist, who had been involved in rocket fire at Israel, and was with a group who were about to fire on Israel again.
The dead man was a grandson of Haniyeh’s sister, not her son, as previously thought.
The television report says the Israeli strike took place in Gaza’s Sheikh Radwan district. It quotes military sources saying three other people were injured. One of them, according to Palestinian reports, is also a relative of the former Hamas Gaza prime minister.
