In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

Our condolence will be in retaliation to the Zionist crime

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, declares to our Mujahid Palestinian people and to our Arab and Islamic Nation, that were grieved over the severe loss of a number of Movement leaders and cadres in Nablus especially by the martyrdom of Sheikh Jamal Salim and Sheikh Jamal Mansour, that due to the seriousness of the matter, the Movement decided that its mourning of the martyrs would be the Qassam Brigades’ expected retaliation to the blood of martyrs … all martyrs instead of accepting condolences. This includes all areas except Nablus.

"To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return"

Allahu Akbar and victory to our people

The Islamic Resistance Movement
Hamas – Palestine
