Hamas Movement
The Hamas Movement announced in a statement: With surrender, stability, and greater insistence on continuing the path of defending our people, our land, and our sanctities, and in the true sense of patience, dignity, and honour, the Hamas Movement announces to our great nation inside and outside Palestine, and to the Arab and Islamic Ummah and to the free people around the world that a number of our commanders, symbols of national action in the Gaza Strip, were martyred at dawn on Tuesday in savage attacks by the Zionist regime which directly and intentionally targeted them and their families.
The Hamas Movement announced that these martyr commanders are Essam al-Daalis, Head of Government Action Tracking, Yasser Harb, member of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ahmed al-Handeh, Deputy Minister of Justice, Mahmoud Abu Watfa, Deputy Minister of Interior, and Behjat Abu Sultan, Director General of the Internal Security Agency. The Hamas Movement added: Assassination crimes against Hamas Movement commanders and national action officials and our people will not cause the enemy to achieve its goals. This regime will not break the will of our people, but rather the people's steadfastness in confronting the occupier and its hostile plans will increase[2].
Islamic Awakening World Assembly
The statement of the Islamic Awakening World Assembly was published following the martyrdom of Abu Hamza, spokesperson of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, and a group of resistance commanders and mujahideen of Palestine; the text of this statement reads:
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
"And those who have wronged will know to what [kind of] return they will be returned." (Quran 26:227) Once again, the criminal and bloodthirsty Zionist regime, by committing a savage crime, martyred a group of commanders and proud fighters of the Palestine resistance. The martyrdom of Abu Hamza, spokesperson of the Islamic Jihad Movement, along with brave commanders and mujahideen such as Martyr Essam al-Daalis, Martyr Yasser Harb, member of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Mohammed Mahmoud Batran, commander of the artillery unit and member of the movement's military council, and resistant fighters such as Ahmed al-Handeh, Mahmoud Abu Watfa, Behjat Abu Sultan, is another example of the savagery of the Jerusalem occupier regime and its desperate attempt to extinguish the flame of the resistance of the Palestinian nation. The Zionist regime, which has become incapable and desperate in the face of the steadfastness and resistance of the Palestinian people and the mujahideen of the resistance, has once again launched savage attacks against Gaza and by bombing residential areas, has resorted to killing women, children, and defenceless civilians. These horrific crimes, which take place under the shadow of the silence and shameless support of the Western supporters of this regime and the America, indicate the predatory nature and racist policies of the Zionists in suppressing the oppressed Palestinian nation.
The Islamic Awakening World Assembly, while strongly condemning these savage attacks and the assassination of resistance commanders, emphasizes that the martyrdom of these mujahideen will not only not weaken the resistance front, but will double the determination and will of the Palestinian people and all fighters of the path of freedom of Al-Quds Al-Sharif to stand firm and fight until the complete elimination of Zionist occupation. We ask all Muslim nations, Islamic countries, and freedom lovers of the world not to remain silent in the face of these horrific crimes and to support the oppressed Palestinian nation with all their power. We also ask international and human rights organizations to fulfill their responsibility in the face of these unprecedented crimes and bring the Zionist regime to trial for these war crimes. We offer condolences for the martyrdom of these commanders and resistance fighters to the honoured families of the martyrs, the resistant nation of Palestine, the leaders of Islamic Jihad, and all fighters of the path of freedom of Palestine, and we ask God Almighty for high ranks for these precious martyrs and patience and reward for the survivors[3].
