Hezbollah has offered its condolences to the Palestinian people following the assassination of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh, stating that he was one of the great resistance leaders of this era who stood with courage against the American domination project and the Zionist occupation, and was prepared for such an end.
In a statement on Wednesday, they said: “To the struggling, oppressed and proud people; to our honourable brothers in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas; to all the dear factions in the Palestinian resistance; to our Arab nations; and to every free and honourable resistance fighter, we offer our deepest condolences for the martyrdom of the great and honest leader and dear brother, Ismail Haniyeh, may God have mercy on his soul.”
“We send a special message to his honourable family that has offered dozens of martyrs, both men and women, for the sake of liberating Jerusalem and Palestine. We ask God Almighty to grant them patience, solace and reward in this world and the hereafter,” reads the statement.
“The martyrdom of the leader Haniyeh will strengthen the determination and persistence of the resistance fighters… It will make their resolve stronger in confronting the Zionist enemy, the killer of women and children, the perpetrator of genocide in Gaza, and the usurper of the land of Palestine and the sanctities of the nation.”
