Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi condemned Thursday the Israeli regime for its most recent act of aggression in Gaza, which saw it killing three of Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh's sons and their children.

Raisi underlined that the Israeli occupation's crimes in Gaza show a lack of adherence to moral principles in the entity's efforts to save itself from collapse.

Raisi conveyed his message in a letter to the Hamas politburo chief, offering his condolences on the tragic loss of Haniyeh's three sons and their children in a Gaza refugee camp due to an Israeli airstrike.

"The Israeli crime has starkly exposed the savage and child-killing nature of this regime," Raisi stressed.

The Iranian President went on to berate the Israeli occupation, stressing: "Once again, the Tel Aviv regime has demonstrated its disregard for human and moral principles in its attempt to maintain its power."

Raisi further denounced the inaction and silence of those who claim to advocate for human rights globally, asserting that their failure to address the Israeli regime's crimes makes them complicit in the atrocities.

Eid al-Fitr massacre

On the day of Eid al-Fitr, a holiday celebrated by the Muslim community as it marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, the Israeli occupation committed yet another malicious act, killing Hazem, Amir, and Mohammad the sons of Ismail Haniyeh and several of his grandchildren.

The Resistance leader was seen on camera during a hospital visit he had planned on Wednesday, to check up on wounded and sick Palestinians that were transferred to a medical center in Doha. Haniyeh wished God's blessing on his three martyred sons and their children, insisting that he would finish his day's program at the hospital.

The Government's Media Office in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation committed the massacre while the three were conducting Eid al-Fitr visits to communities in the Gaza Strip. 

On the day of the Eid, 125 Palestinians were murdered by Israeli forces since Tuesday afternoon.

Commenting on the devastating incident, Haniyeh was quoted by Hamas' Media Office as saying, "With this pain and blood, we create hope, a future, and freedom for our people, our cause, and our nation."

"My sons, the martyrs, achieved the greatest honor and an [honorable death]," he explained. 

"My sons remained with the sons of our people in the Gaza Strip and they did not leave the Strip," Haniyeh emphasized.

"All of our people and every family in the Gaza Strip paid a steep price [toward the Palestinian struggle] with the blood of their children and I am one of them."

"Nearly 60 of my relatives were martyred... there is no difference between them [and other Palestinians]," the head of the Hamas politburo added.
