AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a message, Shia scholar Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli has expressed his condolences on the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political office.
The text of the message is as follow:
In the name of God
We belong to God and to Him we return
The heavenly call of the Holy Quran always talks about the betrayal of Zionism and the crime of Israel, the heavenly Qur’anic verse is a warning to the international community that Israel is violent beast that does not recognize any covenant.
I expressed my condolences over martyrdom of the resistant man Ismail Haniyeh, who was martyred at the hands of the traitorous Israel in the Islamic Republic of Iran, to the intellectuals, the just-minded, and the righteous; may God Almighty grant him peace and accelerate the freedom of the Holy Quds. I ask God Almighty for divine blessings for all the victims of the incident.
