General Esmail Qaani said that the late Ahmed Jibril "formed through his personality and career a complete model in building the 'resistant' character."

He added, "Al-Quds and the liberation of all of Palestine were always Abou Jihad's compass, from whose direction he never veered."

Commenting on his struggle and the difficulties he had to endure for the Resistance, he said that "despite all the temptations and intimidations he faced, he always believed that the Resistance's rifle would bring back Palestine."

Qaani spoke highly of Jibril, declaring that "he was one of the founders of the Axis of Resistance, placing all of his energy in its service and remaining faithful to the sacrifices of the martyrs."

The Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine - General Command had eulogized its Secretary-General, Ahmed Jibril (Abou Jihad), who passed away on Wednesday in a hospital in the Syrian capital of Damascus.
