He pointed out that the martyr had "a transparent human spirit and was compassionate towards his people and family," stressing that his "humane qualities are what pushed him to fight for the people."
'He desperately wished for martyrdom': martyr Jihad Ghannam's son
Mohammad Ghannam, son of the Al-Quds Brigades martyr, Jihad Ghannam, told Al Mayadeen Online that his father was subjected to several assassination attempts while fighting the Israeli occupation.
As a result of several attempts, he once lost his legs, then one of his arms, and in another attempt, he lost his hearing in one of his ears. The martyr's son stressed that his father desperately wished for martyrdom.
He affirmed that his family was satisfied with the resistance's response and its courage in fighting, stressing that the resistance was not negatively affected by its loss of leaders during the battle, considering it a "privilege."
Martyr Ali Ghali believed that 'Resistance is a right and duty'
During her interview with Al Mayadeen Online, the mother of the martyred member of the PIJ's Military Council and commander of the missile force in the Al-Quds Brigades, Ali Ghali, expressed her pride that the martyr leaders obtained the martyrdom they wished for.
The martyr's daughter, Yasmin Ghali, considered that her father's martyrdom, along with the many leaders does not weaken the resistance, nor does it stop its path, stressing that they will be succeeded by hundreds who will defend the homeland and sanctities.
The martyr's daughter asserted that her father had a positive influence on the family because of his good morals and history of resistance and that he always saw resistance as a right and duty for everyone, viewing the next generation as the liberators of Palestine.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) conducted air raids on the Gaza Strip on May 9th, in which 33 martyrs were killed (including 6 children and 3 women), and 190 were wounded, as a result of the raids that targeted civilian homes and resistance sites in various areas in the Strip.
The Al-Quds Brigades buried a group of its leaders and fighters during the occupation's aggression on Gaza, among them: the martyr Commander Iyad Al-Abd Al-Hassani, a member of its military council and responsible for its operations unit, the martyred commander Jihad Ghannam, secretary of the military council in the Brigades, and the martyred commander Khalil Salah Al-Bahtini. Commander of the Northern Region, and the martyr Commander Tareq Ezzedine.
Last week, the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Avenging the Free in response to the five-day Israeli aggression against Gaza that left 33 Palestinian martyrs, including six PIJ commanders, and more than 100 injuries. The aggression ended following an Egyptian-mediated ceasefire.
