'Got The Martyrdom He Wished For': Son Of Killed Hamas Chief Haniyeh Says 'Resistance Will Not End'
Political Bureau Chief of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in Israel's capital, Tehran.
After Political Bureau Chief of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in Israel's capital Tehran, his son Abdel Salam Haniyeh said that his father got what he wished for. "We are in a revolution and a continuous struggle against the enemy, and the resistance will not end with the assassination of the leadership," he said.
"My father survived four assassination attempts during his patrotric journey, and today Allah has granted him the martyrdom that he always wished for," he said, as quoted by news agency Reuters.
Following the targeted strike in the Lebanese capital Beirut and the killing of Haniyeh, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday that there is no change in Home Front guidelines. The IDF said there are still no changes to guidelines for Israeli civilians, following last night’s airstrike in Beirut and this morning’s killing of Hamas’s leader in Tehran.
“At this hour, the IDF is conducting a situation assessment. If any change is decided upon, we will update the public immediately,” the military said. The IDF called on civilians to continue to follow the existing Home Front Command guidelines.
The National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament will hold a meeting on the assassination of Haniyeh, as reported by the Iranian Tasnim Agency.
On Wednesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Wednesday said that Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran. Hamas also released a statement mourning Haniyeh's death, saying he was killed in "a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran."
Palestinian National and Islamic Forces, in a statement, said, "The forces emphasised the importance of broad participation in the upcoming third Saturday of August in support of Gaza and the heroic prisoners on the national and International Day to stand up and support our prisoners and heroes detained in light of the continued abuse, torture, isolation, murder, liquidation, enforced disappearance, and secret occupation prisons where fascist torture is carried out, such as occupation prisons."
"And affirming the participation in all occupied Palestinian territories, in all refugee camps, diaspora and capitals of the world with the participation of solidarity and free peoples of the world in order to criminalize the occupation and provide protection to the prisoners of our international and legal institutions in their role to impose sanctions on the occupation and to prosecute it for its crimes that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity in light of the American partnership in continuing the war of genocide against humanity in light of the continuation of the war against humanity, It has been going on for ten months, and the international community and its institutions have been unable to exert pressure to stop this aggressive and criminal war, rescue our people and our prisoners, and provide humanitarian materials to our people trapped in the Gaza Strip, in conjunction with the escalation of the war and aggression," the statement further stated.
