Video of the killed leader of Hamas shocked the world VIDEO

Israel has yet to officially respond or accept responsibility for the death of the Hamas leader, but a senior government official said his death "makes the world a slightly better place".

Among other things, Haniyeh was remembered for how he reacted coldly to the news that his three sons and grandsons were killed in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier this year, three of his sons were killed in an airstrike.

According to the Israeli army, two of Haniyeh's sons were Hamas military operatives, and the third was a "cell" commander.

The news of the death of his sons and grandson caught Haniyeh in Qatar, while he was visiting wounded Palestinians in the hospital.

• "Israel on the verge of collapse"

The video shows how the associate receives a call and then puts the interlocutor on speakerphone.

Haniyeh, with a cold expression on his face, listens as the interlocutor announces that Haniyeh's sons and their children are dead.

"Hazem, Muhzamed and Amir were killed, along with the children," the man is heard saying into the phone.

Instead of tears or any expression of sadness, Haniyeh just nodded his head, looked in pathos and said:

"May God have mercy on their souls, may the Lord have mercy on them".

Disturbed, the associate of Haniyeh then asks if he wants them to stop visiting the hospital, where Haniyeh shocks again:

"No, why? Let's move on," he can be heard saying.
