Hamas mourns Hezbollah leader’s killing
“We extend our sincere condolences, sympathy and solidarity to the brotherly Lebanese people and brothers in Hezbollah and the Islamic resistance in Lebanon,” Hamas said in a statement, coming moments after Hezbollah confirmed the assassination of its leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli strike on Beirut yesterday.
“We condemn in the strongest terms this barbaric Zionist aggression and the targeting of residential buildings … in the southern suburb of Beirut, and we consider this a cowardly act of terrorism, a massacre and a heinous crime, which proves once again the bloodiness and brutality of this occupation,” the group added.
Hamas hailed Nasrallah’s support of the Palestinian cause and also condemned the US for supporting Israel.
“History has proven that the resistance against the Zionist enemy, in all its factions and places of presence, whenever its leaders go as martyrs, has a generation of leaders to lead them on the same path,” the group also said.
Iraq declares three days of mourning after Nasrallah killing
Prime Minister Shia al-Sudani has declared a three-day mourning period across Iraq following confirmation of Hassan Nasrallah’s killing in yesterday’s Israeli air attack on Beirut.
“To God we belong and to Him we shall return,” a statement said. It came shortly after influential Iraqi Shia Muslim leader Muqtada al-Sadr also announced three days of mourning.
The Iraqi prime minister called the Israeli bombardment of southern Beirut on Friday a “shameful attack” and “a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all the red lines”.
