“The martyred spokesperson was known as a voice of the resistance, courageous in his heroic positions, and unwavering in his stance in defending the rights of our people,” the movement stated.
It further condemned the assassination as part of a broader series of Israeli massacres against Palestinian civilians, supported by the United States.
This attack comes amid a new wave of Israeli military operations in Gaza, which resumed late Monday into Tuesday, breaking a ceasefire agreement from January 19.
These military actions have already claimed the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including many women and children. []
