“The resistance is strong and determined to retaliate to any israeli escalation in its current aggression on Gaza,” Haneyya underlined.

“Defending our people in Gaza will continue,” Haneyya said, asserting that the loss of leaders in the Movement’s armed wing will be compensated by others who will continue along the same path of liberation.

He hailed the Gaza commander Basem Issa, who was killed in the Israeli raids on the besieged enclave, and affirmed that he died in the most honorable battle that of the defense of Jerusalem and Aqsa. (ILKHA)
