1. **From The Telegraph’s Melanie Swan in Tel Aviv:**

   The sister of [Ismail Haniyeh](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/08/hamas-leader-ismail-haniyeh-behind-attack-on-israel/), a Hamas political leader, has become his latest family member to be killed in an Israeli strike, the terror group said.

   Zahr died along with her husband and children overnight on Monday in an attack on Beach Camp, north of Gaza City.

   Basem Naim, the Hamas spokesman, said it took the number of family members of the exiled leader who have been killed to around 100.

   Based between Qatar and Turkey, Haniyeh has remained [safe from assassination ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/02/hamas-unlikely-to-accept-peace-deal-with-israel/)throughout [the war with Israel](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/israel-hamas-war/). Qatar remains a key player in negotiations to free Israel’s remaining 120 hostages in Gaza.

   But Haniyeh’s family remain in the line of fire. In April, his [three sons were killed](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/10/hamas-leader-sons-killed-israeli-airstrike/) during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Hazem, Amir and Mohammad died along with several of his grandchildren.

   Haniyeh said at the time their “martyrdom” was a symbol of hope. “Through the blood of the martyrs and the pain of the injured, we create hope, we create the future, we create independence and freedom for our people and our nation,” he told Al Jazeera.

   At the time, the Israeli military said the three sons were military operatives on their way to “carry out terrorist activities in the central area of the Gaza Strip”. There has so far been no comment on the latest attack.

   “The blood of my children is not more valuable than the blood of the children of the Palestinian people … All the martyrs of Palestine are my children,” Haniyeh said at the time of his sons’ killing.

   # Israel is ‘delusional’

   Amid ongoing [US-brokered negotiations](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/31/joe-biden-outlines-hostage-deal-to-end-israel-hamas-war/), which have not progressed since a short temporary ceasefire last year, Haniyeh pointed out the futility of Israel targeting his family.

   “If they think that targeting my children at the peak of these talks before the movement’s [Hamas’s] response is submitted will cause Hamas to change its positions, they are delusional,” Haniyeh said in April.

   In Israel, where Haniyeh’s sister lives in a quiet Bedouin community in the country’s south, his sister Sabah remains under house arrest charged with affiliations with a terror group and incitement to unrest.

   It followed messages sent, including to her brother, praising the atrocities of Oct 7. Over 1,200 mostly civilians were killed by Hamas in Israel with 250 more taken hostage.

   Hamas has denied media claims of relocating its Qatari outpost to Iraq. Reports had suggested the Gulf mediators were pressuring the terror group to leave the gas-rich state if progress was not made on ceasefire talks but Mr Naim said “nothing is true”.

   An Israeli member of the hostage negotiation team said: “In the last two months, there have been three such discussions about Qatar forcing Hamas to leave, which so far remain empty threats. We can only understand this to be a means of appeasing the US while no progress is being made with the [talks to free the hostages](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/03/24/israel-hamas-war-hotages-freed-deal-qatar-americans/).”

2. [removed]

3. Well looks like he got another martyr symbol of hope.

   Thats how he views deaths in his own family.

4. [removed]

5. Why is she even in gaza? Does Haniya care so little about anyone but himself? Even his family?

   Haniya even have a family living in Israel in Tel Sheva

   This is all so ridiculous

6. His family is getting killed while he stay safely hidden. Jerk.

7. The article doesn’t say if his sister, her husband, or her children were involved in terrorism.

8. I’m not hearing anyone crying

9. More war crimes from Israel

10. Did she commit a crime in order to be justified getting blown up? And the kids? Maybe just guilty by association. It’s why I always doubt Israel’s claim to be the most moral army. They are happy to carry out what appears to be revenge attacks 

11. Haniyeh recently married a 28 year old – his 7th marriage – in Doha while his people are dying in Gaza

12. im sure he is going to say something like it is an honor to the cause or some deranged shit.

13. This is the irony of these silly stupid protestors. The leadership of Hamas is hiding out in luxury. These morons are voting them in as their leaders. Lebanon is being co-opted under threat to store weapons. They have successfully used religious ideology to hide their own dictatorship and totalitarian means. They don’t care about Islam. Just like Mao didn’t care about communism. He cared about the luxury and the pussy. Just like these fucking clowns.

14. His sister?

    Now we are targeting relatives of those targeted.

15. “Can’t catch him catch his friend”

16. Luckily she was a woman so he won’t care.

17. Dudes probably so happy that this gives Hime so much street cred

18. >Basem Naim, the Hamas spokesman, said it took the number of family members of the exiled leader who have been killed to around 100.
