Resistance factions in occupied Palestine offered their sincere condolences on Saturday morning for the martyrdom of Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil, who was martyred on the path to al-Quds after an Israeli attack that struck the Southern Suburb of Beirut on Friday. 

Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas said that the martyrdom of Commander Aqil "reaffirms our shared path and destiny, and we are all faithful and confident in God's promise and victory."

Hamas stressed that "the occupation's crimes are foolish acts for which it will pay the price, and the blood of the martyrs will be a flame that scorches this entity, bringing us closer to the end of the occupation and its eradication."

Palestinian Islamic Jihad 

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine mourned the martyred leader and his companions, emphasizing that "the treachery of the occupation and its targeting of leaders will only strengthen the resolve of the Resistance."

The Resistance faction, in its statement, described the martyred leader as a symbol of heroism and courage. "We knew him as a brave leader who lived with pride and dignity, a fearless fighter for Palestine, and a wise leader who dedicated every moment to the liberation of the land and the defense of the nation's dignity. He was always present wherever duty called, leading his men with unwavering resolve and determination, paving the path to victory with his steps."

It also pointed out that "the treachery and cowardice of the occupation in targeting the heroic leaders will only increase the Resistance forces' steadfastness and determination to move forward in confronting this enemy and its crimes."

Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades

For its part, the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Resistance Committees in Palestine, mourned the martyred leader and praised his great role as a revolutionary and fighter, highlighting his great impact on the Palestinian people and their resistance. 

The statement further said that the cowardly assassination confirms that the Islamic Resistance and Hezbollah are shaking the foundations of the Zionist entity, becoming a source of terror and a nightmare that haunts the Zionist enemy, its leaders, and settlers.

Palestinian Mujahideen Movement

For its part, the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement stated that the martyrdom of prominent Resistance figures from Hezbollah in the battle to defend al-Quds, in support of the steadfast Palestinian people alongside their brothers—the martyrs of Palestine—and all Resistance fighters in the nation and the Axis of Resistance, strengthen the unity of the nation. It also reaffirmed the righteousness of the chosen path and the unity of purpose and destiny.

It added, "While we deeply value the immense sacrifices made by Hezbollah fighters and commend their unwavering stance in supporting our people, we affirm that the Zionist policy of assassination will neither weaken Resistance fighters nor break the will of the Resistance across the nation, nor  still will it restore the deterrence of the Zionist enemy."

The movement added, "The cowardly crimes committed by the cowardly Zionist enemy, along with the frenzy it is experiencing, reflect its state of failure and helplessness in the face of the steadfastness and struggle of our Resistance and the valiant support fronts."

PFLP-GC

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) - General Command stated, "We are confident that the inevitable response to this crime will contribute to increasing the crisis of the entity, its fate, and its existence."

The PFLP added in a statement that the occupation's bombing of residential buildings in the Southern Suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, represents a new crime added to the record of offenses committed by its terrorist army and its criminal fascist government.

It pointed out that the enemy's crimes and the escalation of the war of extermination leave our nation and the people of the region, in all their diversity, no choice but to resist and fight using all available means, as what we are witnessing is a battle for destiny and existence.

Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades

Likewise, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the PFLP, mourned martyr Ibrahim Aqil and his companions, stating that the Israeli attack would only "strengthen our resolve to continue on the path of the martyrs".

The Brigades added, "During these historic and decisive moments, we affirm that the strikes do not weaken us; rather, they make us stronger and more resilient. The enemy is delusional if it believes that our barricades have collapsed; our defenses remain intact, thanks to the determination, steadfastness, and resistance of both our peoples."

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - announced, "with utmost pride and honor, the martyrdom of its senior commander Hajj Ibrahim Aqil 'Abdul Qader' and a group of his comrades" in the Israeli assassination and aggression targeting Beirut's southern suburb earlier on Friday. 

In a statement, Hezbollah praised its martyred commander and the "blessed life" he led, "filled with struggle, work, wounds, sacrifices, risks, challenges, achievements, and victories." The statement further asserted that Martyr Ibrahim Aqil's greatest wish was to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque and his greatest passion was Al-Quds, Palestine. 

Hezbollah pledged to remain steadfast and loyal to its martyred leader's goals, hopes, and path until victory is achieved.
