The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, cowardly, desperate act by someone who stuck in swamp: ABWA’s representative in Iraq

The representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq stated, “Once again, we witnessed a blatant violation of all human, moral, political standards and international obligations by the usurping and occupying Zionist regime. This time, one of the greatest leaders of the Palestinian Resistance, a mujahid man committed to the holy jihad, Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated; a man who devoted his life to the liberation of the Holy Land and its return to its oppressed owners.”

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a message, Ayatollah Sayed Mojtaba Hosseini, the representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq, expressed his condolences on the martyrdom of Dr. Ismail Haniyeh and a group of Iraqi Hashd al-Sha’abi Forces.

The message reads, “Once again, we witnessed a blatant violation of all human, moral, political standards and international obligations by the usurping and occupying Zionist regime. This time, one of the greatest leaders of the Palestinian Resistance, a mujahid man committed to the holy jihad, Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated; a man who devoted his life to the liberation of the Holy Land and its return to its oppressed owners.”

Ayatollah Hosseini added, “Martyr Haniyeh was always in danger of martyrdom in the path of liberating dear Palestine, and he always risked his life in the path of the noble cause of Muslims. He even sacrificed some of his family members in the way of this noble goal and joining them was a wish that he always had in his heart. He grew up in a school whose motto is: “Being killed is our habit, and martyrdom is an honor that God bestows on us.” He had chosen this path consciously and insightfully. Because he, himself was one of the ulama and religious personalities. May God have mercy on him and place him in his infinite paradise.”

“But his enemy will get nothing but loss and disgrace from this crime,” he added, “Because what has been perpetrated, is not a sign of bravery and strength. But it is like a cowardly and desperate act by someone who is stuck in a swamp and cannot get out of it. Yes, what the Zionist regime demonstrates is nothing but deception and wickedness in front of the eyes of the world and the killing of women and infants. Because the regime feels unable to face the heroic mujahidin in the proud Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and even the oppressed who live under the rule of the usurping regime.”

“This time, the regime has committed a brazen act that is consistent with its evil nature – that is, assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, Martyr Ismail Haniyeh (may God’s mercy be upon him) at his residence in Tehran, and as the Imam of the Resistance, Imam Khamenei stated, “The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our home, and made us sad. But the regime also prepared a harsh punishment for itself,” Ayatollah Hosseini further added.

Another part of the message reads, “We consider it as our duty to avenge his blood which was shed in the bitter and tragic incident in the territory of the Islamic Republic. This crime coincided with another crime committed by the American occupiers in targeting the Iraqi border guards, which led to the martyrdom of a number of heroic Iraqi warriors, an action that violated the sovereignty of Iraq and aggressed the loyal children of the nation. The enemy thinks that he will kill people with these actions. While he does not know that these people will reach the status of martyrdom and increase the nation’s determination and steadfastness. May God bless the martyrs with His mercy and forgiveness, grant them a place in his boundless paradise, and grant their families patience, consolation, and the immense reward of the patients.”

In this message, while offering his condolences to Imam Mahdi (a.s.), Supreme Leader, grand Sources of Emulation, seminaries, the nation of Islamic Iran, the oppressed and powerful nation of Palestine, and the beloved family of martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Iraq asked God Almighty to annihilate Israel, the cancerous tumor, as soon as possible.
