TEHRAN – Palestinian resistance factions have expressed deep sorrow over the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’s political bureau, vowing that his passing will not deter their fight against Israel.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement mourned Haniyeh as a “great national leader” and a symbol of resistance. In a statement, they declared: “The sinful assassination carried out by the criminal enemy against a symbol of the Resistance will not deter our people from continuing the Resistance to put an end to Zionist criminality, which has crossed all limits.” They affirmed their “cohesion with Hamas in resisting the usurping entity.”
The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine, echoed this sentiment, vowing to remain steadfast in their struggle. “The assassination of a great leader and symbol of the Palestinian people and their Resistance,” they declared, “will not weaken the resolve and determination of the Resistance to continue its path of expelling this treacherous Zionist enemy from our occupied land, from its river to its sea.”
The Committees further stressed that Israel’s “policy of assassinations will only increase Resistance efforts on all fronts and in all arenas,” adding, “The blood of the great martyr leader Abu al-Abed Haniyeh will be a curse that will shock and burn the entity of the Nazi enemy, which will be broken and humiliated by the blessed strikes of the Resistance in all arenas of confrontation and engagement.”
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) mourned Haniyeh as a leader who followed the path of martyrs in defending Palestinian existence against Israeli genocide. They called on Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and “free people of the world” to “rise and revolt against the criminal enemy that continues its crimes to ignite the region and the entire world.”
Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas also slammed Israel for its “cowardly” act, calling the assassination of Hamas’ Political Chief a “dangerous development”. Abbas also announced a day of mourning and ordered that flags be flown at half-mast in official Palestinian institutions in the West Bank governorates
