BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Jibril Rajoub, Secretary of the Central Committee of Fatah, mourned Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau, emphasizing that the martyr has joined "the ranks of the martyrs of occupied Palestine, who sacrificed their lives for freedom and independence."

Rajoub stressed that the occupation’s assassination of a political leader and its violation of a sovereign state "reflects its disdain for Palestinian blood and the sovereignty of a great nation." He added that the occupation's actions "constitute a heinous crime added to its long record of atrocities, continuing its war of comprehensive extermination."

He also highlighted that Haniyeh insisted on national unity in a way that preserved the project for the Palestinian struggle. He emphasized that the occupation's ongoing crimes should serve as "an incentive to build national unity."

In the same context, the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Fatah Movement hoped to "open a new page of unity and begin a comprehensive national dialogue."

It is noteworthy that the assassination came during a visit by Haniyeh to the Iranian capital, Tehran, to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps in Iran announced the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, alongside one of his guards in Tehran. Hamas also confirmed the martyrdom of the Hamas leader, noting that the head of the political bureau was killed in a "treacherous Zionist airstrike on his place of residence in Tehran."

Iran's IRGC later said, "We are studying the dimensions of the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, and will announce the results of the investigation later."
