Iran condemns Israel’s assassination of senior Hamas commander
Iran’s Foreign Ministry in a statement on Saturday condemned Israel assassination of a senior Hamas commander, describing it as yet another desperate attempt by the regime to crush the unstoppable spirit of Palestinian resistance.
The statement came after the Israeli regime assassinated general commander of al-Qassam Brigades Izz El-Din Al-Haddad, his wife and child on Friday night.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry extended deepest condolences to the Hamas leadership, the people of Palestine, and to all Muslims and freedom-seekers around the globe.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the terrorist act by the savage Zionist regime in assassinating Izz al-Din Haddad, Commander-in-Chief of the Qassam Brigades, along with his wife and child,” the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry made it crystal clear that this criminal act, like all previous assassinations, is an integral part of the Israeli regime’s broader colonial scheme aimed at the total erasure of Palestine.
The statement also denounced the United States, the Israeli regime’s biggest military, financial, and political sponsor, stating that Washington bears full complicity in every single one of these heinous crimes.
Earlier in the day, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, had officially confirmed the commander's assassination in the "cowardly" Israeli airstrike on Gaza City the previous night.
