In a letter to Hezbollah, al-Qassam praised "Tawil's pivotal role in supporting the Palestinian people, exemplified by his leadership in numerous operations along the Palestinian-Lebanese border."

In a speech he delivered during the funeral of the martyr in the town of Khirbet Selem, Sheikh Qaouq stressed that "Hajj Jawad is one of the heroes" who had been involved in the Resistance since its beginnings and was directly involved in its latest operations ahead of his martyrdom.

He added that the martyr also played a significant role in the Liberation of the year 2000 when the Israeli occupation was forced to withdraw from Beirut and Southern Lebanese to the now-called Blue Line. Moreover, Hajj Jawad was also present during the 2006 war which ended in what was called a Divine Victory.
