GAZA, Palestine – The Palestinian Resistant Movement, Hamas has formally announced the passage of their leader and Political Bureau Chief, Yahya Sinwar.

In a statement, Hamas said Yahya Sinwar died fighting alongside Mahmoud Hamdan ” Abu Yousef”, Head of the Tal Al-Sultan Brigade in Rafah.

In a message to Al- Arabi TV, Hamas leader Taher Al-Nono
said a new leadership will be announced at a time the movement deems appropriate for its direction.

“The occupation’s insinuations that Sinwar was obstructing the prisoner exchange deal are false”, he said, adding “Netanyahu was the one consistently obstructing the exchange deal, not Sinwar.

“The assassination of Sinwar will not change anything in the negotiation dynamics or what the resistance proposes”, he said.

In a statement mourning the of Sinwar, Al-Qassam Brigades said ” the journey of our leader “Abu Ibrahim” was an honorable jihadist journey, during which he was from the founding generation of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and its military and security apparatuses, then he sacrificed the flower of his youth as a prisoner in the occupation’s prisons for more than twenty years before he was released with his head held high in the “Wafa al-Ahrar” deal, and as soon as he was released from prison, he refused to do anything but continue the journey of jihad and did not taste rest, so he supervised the movement’s military work in the three regions and had an important role in the path of unifying the resistance fronts on the path to Arab Jerusalem, then he headed the movement in Gaza so that his leadership period constituted a qualitative shift in its advocacy, political and military journey that culminated in “Al-Aqsa Flood”

“In the path of national relations and joint resistance work, before he headed the movement at home and abroad after the martyrdom of the great leader Ismail Haniyeh.

“The resistance factions, with Hamas at their core, when they decided to enter this great and decisive battle in the history of the Palestinian people’s struggle and in the path of our nation, knew that the price of liberation was very high, and that all peoples had paid it before they were liberated from their occupiers.

: They were prepared to advance the ranks of the sacrificial ones at the heart of their people, so they presented leaders and soldiers, refusing to submit to the enemy or remain silent about its injustice and plundering of our people’s legitimate rights.

“Our jihad will not stop until Palestine is liberated, the last Zionist is expelled from it, and all our legitimate rights are restored. The best evidence of this is that our people have not been broken or surrendered a year after the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, despite the enormous price they paid and despite the brutal Zionist genocide crimes.

“This criminal enemy is delusional if he thinks that by assassinating the great leaders of the resistance, such as Sinwar, Haniyeh, Nasrallah, Al-Arouri, and others, he can extinguish the flame of the resistance or force it to retreat.

” Rather, it will continue and escalate until the legitimate goals of our people are achieved. “Martyrdom is the highest desire of our leaders, and their blood will be a beacon that lights the path to liberation and a fire that burns the aggressors”, the group said.

Still on Sinwar, the Fatah Movement said, “We mourn the martyr Yahya Sinwar, head of the political bureau of Hamas, and offer our condolences to our people, Hamas, and his family.

“We affirm that the Israeli policy of killing and terrorism will not be of any use in breaking the will of our people to achieve their national rights of freedom and independence.

“We call on our people to unite and stand together in this difficult and delicate phase, by strengthening steadfastness and confronting the occupation, rejecting the conspiracies to liquidate our cause, and preserving the political and geographical unity between Gaza and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, as a single political, geographical, and existential unit”.
