WANA (Aug 01) – A guest of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who was assassinated by a Mossad hit squad yesterday, was buried today in Tehran. The Supreme Leader of Iran led the prayer over the body of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

 

The ceremony was held in the presence of high-ranking Islamic Republic officials and a significant turnout. The large number of Tehran residents who took to the streets to bid farewell to a foreign fighter was astonishing.

 

Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Parliament, as the ceremony’s speaker, stated that “the crimes of the Zionist regime stem from its helplessness in the face of resistance fighters.” A Hamas representative attending the ceremony referred to Haniyeh as the commander of the Al-Aqsa Storm operations. “By committing this crime, the Zionist regime has proven to everyone that it is the epitome of atrocity,” the Hamas representative said.
