DOHA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Head of Hamas’s political bureau Ismail Haneyya has mourned his sons and grandchildren, who were martyred on the first day of Eid al-Fitr holiday, describing their blood as a “sacrifice on the path to liberating Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.”
“I thank Allah for the honor He has bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and some grandchildren,” Haneyya said in remarks published by Hamas’s media office on Wednesday.
“With such pain and blood, we create hopes, a future and freedom for our people, our cause, and our nation,” Haneyya added.
“We will not hesitate, we will not retreat, and we will continue to be on our way to liberate Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque,” he said.
“Such sacrifices will only make us more adherent to our principles and our land,” he stressed, adding that “there is no difference between my children and other martyrs of the Palestinian people.”
