Supreme Leader AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMNAEI in a statement promised ‘harsh punishment’ for Israel after Haniyeh’s killing.
Here’s his full statement:
“The brave and prominent Palestinian mujahideen leader Ismail Haniyeh joined Allah at dawn last night and the great resistance front is in mourning. The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our house and made us bereaved, but it also prepared the ground for a harsh punishment for itself.
Martyr Haniyeh took his precious life in his hands for many years in the field of honorable struggle and was ready for martyrdom, and he had offered his children and people on this path. He was not afraid of becoming a martyr in the way of God and saving God’s servants, but we consider it our duty to avenge his blood in this bitter and difficult incident that happened in the territory of the Islamic Republic.
I offer my condolences to the Islamic ummah, to the resistance front, to the brave and proud nation of Palestine, and especially to the family and survivors of Martyr Haniyeh and one of his companions who was martyred with him, and I ask God Almighty to raise their ranks.”
