The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Hamas resistance movement, Ismail Haniyeh, will only strengthen the resistance front’s resolve.
According to The Iran Project, The group expressed its deepest condolences over the assassination of Hamas’s leader, saying, "We commiserate with our brethren in Hamas over the loss of the great leader, voice our outrage over the Israeli enemy’s crimes, and take great pride in leaders of resistance groups … We are very assured that the divine promise of victory will come true."
Hezbollah praised Haniyeh as one of the greatest resistance leaders of time, who bravely stood up to the United States’ hegemony projects and the Zionist regime’s occupation plans.
“The martyrdom of Haniyeh will strengthen the determination and resolve of resistance fighters on all fronts, and will inspire them to continue the path of struggle and confront the Zionist enemy much more resolutely than ever,” Hezbollah asserted.
Yemen: Haniyeh’s assassination contravenes intl. law
The Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement also condemned in the strongest terms Haniyeh's assassination in Tehran, saying that the killing contravenes principles and norms of the international law.
“The assassination of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran constitutes a terrorist crime, and a flagrant violation of the international law,” Ansarullah said in a statement broadcast by Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network.
It added that the heinous and cowardly assassination of the Hamas leader is a dramatic loss for the Muslim world, especially at this critical juncture of confrontation with the Israeli enemy.
“We are determined to stand by Hamas and all resistance factions in resisting the US-sponsored Zionist aggression,” Ansarullah said.
The movement went on to state that the ongoing Israeli genocidal crimes and assassinations of leading resistance figures demonstrate the regime’s abject failure and absolute incapability in the Gaza war.
Ansarullah also called upon the Arab regimes that have normalized ties with Israel to awaken and work diligently to uphold the dignity of Muslims and support Palestine.
“We reiterate our pledge and determination to support Palestine and its cause. We will continue to follow the path of resistance until final victory.
“The crime of Haniyeh’s assassination will not deter the Palestinian nation and will not stop their resistance against the Zionist regime. Rather, it will increase their resilience and steadfastness,” the Yemeni movement underscored.
“Targeting Ismail Haniyeh is a heinous terrorist crime and a flagrant violation of laws and ideal values.” Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, head of Yemen’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee also said.
