Iran’s supreme leader says Hamas is ‘alive and will remain’
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, affirmed today that the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas is “alive and will continue to be,” despite the death of its leader Yahya Sinouar in an Israeli military operation.
The death of the Hamas leader “is certainly painful for the resistance front” against Israel, “but it will not completely end with the martyrdom of Sinouar,” the ayatollah said in a statement.
Yahya Sinouar “was a brilliant figure of resistance and struggle” against Israel, Ali Khamenei said. “He faced the cruel and aggressive enemy with unwavering determination and struck him in the face with tact and courage,” he added.
Yahya Sinouar is considered the architect of the Palestinian Islamist movement’s unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which has since plunged the region into bloody conflict.
