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.
