Haniyeh’s son vows to keep fighting for freedom

The son of Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniyeh, Abdul Salam Haniyeh, said his father’s killing will not end Palestinians’ resistance against Israel.

“My father survived four assassination attempts during his patriotic journey, and today Allah has granted him the martyrdom that he always wished for,” the younger Haniyeh said.

“He was very keen to establish national unity and strived for the unity of all Palestinian factions and we affirm that this assassination will not deter the resistance, which will fight until freedom is achieved,” he added.
