The Islamist group Hamas confirmed officially this Friday the death of its top leader, Yahya Sinwarwhom he hailed as a “martyr hero”. The Islamist organization also sent a message to Israel this Friday in which it warns that the death of its leaders “does not mean the end of the movement, nor the end of the struggle of the Palestinian people.”
Hamas confirmed the news after Israel announced Sinwar’s death in a confrontation with Israeli soldiers in Rafahsouth of the Strip the day before. This is the first statement from Hamas after the death of its leader.
“Hamas is a liberation movement led by people who seek freedom and dignity, and this cannot be eliminated,” said a statement signed by the political and international relations head of the politburo, Basem Naim.
“We believe our destiny is one of two good things: either victory or martyrdom” he adds. The text emphasizes that none of Israel’s deaths against some of its leaders, such as Commander Sehadeh, the first leader of the Al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamist group, has succeeded in weakening his militia.
“Stronger and more popular”
The death of its leaders – continues Naim – considers that they did “stronger and more popular” to the Palestinian group, and at the same time each of them remains remembered as “icons among future generations who will continue the path towards a free Palestine.” “Yes, it is very painful and distressing to lose loved ones, especially leaders. extraordinary like oursbut what we are sure of is that we will finally emerge victorious; This is the result for all those who fought for their freedom,” they say.
The truth is that Sinwar’s death marks a before and after in the course of the regional conflict since the Palestinian group was decapitated following the assassinations of political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and military leader Mohamed Deif this summer. . . . Hamas does not mention any of these three leaders in its latest statement.
“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. “It’s the start of the day after Hamas,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared triumphantly yesterday, hours after the army confirmed Sinwar’s death, but Netanyahu warned that the war in the Strip Gaza accumulates more than 42,400 Palestinians. death, is still not over “with many challenges to overcome”.
At the same time, he sent a message to the region, particularly to Lebanon, where Israeli troops have continued their ground offensive since October 1.
