The Supreme Authority for Tribal Affairs in the Gaza Strip expressed its condolences to the Palestinian people, the Arab and Islamic nation and the free people of the world for the martyred national leader Yahya Sinwar “Abu Ibrahim”, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and leader of Al-Aqsa Flood.
The Palestinian tribes added that Sinwar was martyred while fighting the occupier: “Until his final moment, on the front lines among his men in the field of honour, pride and dignity, watering the land of Palestine with his pure blood.”
The authority continued: “The Palestinian masses will remember the leader Yahya Sinwar for his patriotism, courage, honesty and loyalty to his people and cause.”
The authority stressed that the martyrdom of the leaders and fighters would not break the will of the Palestinian people to continue the struggle and jihad to eradicate the occupation from the land and establish an independent Palestinian state.
