In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The cowardly “israeli” crime that targeted Azzam Al-Hayya, the son of the movement’s leader in the Gaza Strip and head of the negotiation delegation, Brother Fighter Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, represents a continuation of the occupation’s approach of targeting civilians and the families of Palestinian leaders, as part of its failed attempts to influence the will of the resistance and its political positions through terror, killing, and psychological pressure.
The contradiction and confusion that accompanied the “israeli” narrative regarding the targeting operation reveal the scale of the turmoil the occupation government is experiencing. They also clearly reflect that this crime came within the framework of attempts to exert pressure on the resistance leadership and its negotiating delegation, after the occupation failed to impose its conditions or achieve its declared goals.
Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya and the negotiating delegation had previously been subjected to a wicked assassination attempt in Doha, during which a number of martyrs from our people and the dear Qatari people ascended, including his son, the martyr Hammam Al-Hayya, in a crime that confirms the occupation’s insistence on targeting everyone who adheres to the rights and national constants of our people.
The movement confirms that our Palestinian people, who have offered tens of thousands of martyrs, will not allow the occupation to turn the blood of sons and families into a tool for political blackmail, and that these crimes will not push the Palestinian negotiator to retreat from his constants or abandon the rights of our people to stop the aggression, end the siege, and fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
Furthermore, targeting the children of Palestinian leaders will not lead to weakening the position of the resistance, but will rather increase its adherence to the rights of our people and its determination to wrest them, and will deepen the popular support around it, as it pays the same cost of confrontation alongside its people, and offers from its own sons and families just as our people’s sons offer everywhere in the Gaza Strip.
The occupation’s resort to this type of crime confirms its compound crisis and its inability to break the will of our people or achieve a political or field achievement, so it resorts to a policy of revenge and attempts to spread fear by targeting families and civilians.
The blood of the martyrs, no matter how great the sacrifices, will remain the fuel for our people’s steadfastness and resilience, and a motivation to continue defending their legitimate national rights until freedom is attained and the occupation is ended.
