Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, Commander of the Quds Force in Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), extended on Saturday condolences to the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, on the martyrdom of the Palestinian Resistance movement's deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri in a cowardly Israeli assassination by an airstrike on a residential area in the southern suburb of Beirut.
In a letter, Qaani told Haniyeh that the enemy, in assassinating the leaders of the Resistance, seeks to mitigate its heavy defeat in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
General Qaani stressed that the world will witness how the brothers of martyr al-Arouri will turn into a nightmare for this murderous, children-killing entity.
Martyr Al-Arouri departed from this world reassured and unafraid of the fate and future of the Resistance, Qaani indicated.
The commander of the Quds Force said that al-Arouri was martyred, possessing an illustrious profile that includes fingerprints on the first intifada, al-Aqsa intifada, and al-Quds intifada.
Elsewhere, Qaani concluded his letter to Haniyeh by saying that martyr al-Arouri left this world but cornered the Israeli enemy in the occupied West Bank.
It is noteworthy that the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, strongly condemned the assassination of al-Arouri, along with two leaders of the al-Qassam Brigades.
Kanaani said that al-Arouri's assassination came after the Israeli occupation entity's failure and irreparable defeat in the face of Palestinian Resistance factions during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Furthermore, the advisor to the Iranian leader, Ali Akbar Velayati, affirmed that "these crimes reveal the failure of the Zionists on all fronts and battlefields, especially since Operation Al-Quds Flood."
"Let the Zionists know that the Palestinian Resistance will not be deterred by such actions; instead, it will grow stronger," Velayati stressed.
