were ******* in an ******** airstrike in Gaza on Wednesday, the ************ Islamist group and Haniyeh’s family said.

The three sons – Hazem, Amir and Mohammad – were ******* after the car they were driving in was bombed in Gaza’s Al-Shati camp, ****** said. Two of Haniyeh’s grandchildren were also ******* in the ******* and a third was wounded, ****** media said.

“Our demands are clear and specific and we will not make concessions on them. The ****** will be delusional if it thinks that targeting my sons, at the climax of the negotiations and before the movement sends its response, will push ****** to change its position,” Haniyeh told pan-***** Al Jazeera TV.

“The blood of my sons is not dearer than the blood of our people,” said Haniyeh, who is based abroad in the Gulf ***** state of Qatar.

Haniyeh has been the tough-talking face of ******’ international diplomacy as war with ******* has raged back in the Gaza Strip, where his family home was destroyed in an ******** airstrike back in November.

****** said on Tuesday it was studying an ******** ceasefire proposal but that it was “intransigent” and did not meet any of the ************ demands.

In the seventh month of a war in which *******’s air and ground offensive has devastated Gaza, ****** wants an end to ******** military operations and a withdrawal from the enclave, and permission for displaced Palestinians to return home.

post that his three brothers were *******. “Thanks to **** who honoured us by the martyrdom of my brothers, Hazem, Amir and Mohammad and their children,” wrote Abdel-Salam Haniyeh.

Appointed to the militant group’s top job in 2017, Haniyeh has moved between Turkey and Qatar’s capital Doha, avoiding ********-imposed travel restrictions in blockaded Gaza and enabling him to act as a negotiator in the latest ceasefire negotiations, or communicate with ******’ main ally Iran.

******* regards the entire ****** leadership as terrorists, accusing Haniyeh and other leaders of continuing to “pull the strings of the ****** ******* organisation”.

But how much Haniyeh knew about the Oct. 7 cross-border ******* on ******* by Gaza-based militants beforehand is not clear. The ******* plan, drawn up by the ****** military council in Gaza, was such a closely guarded secret that some ****** officials abroad seemed shocked by its timing and scale.
