"We offer our deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to our brothers in the Islamic Jihad Movement and its military wing, the Quds Brigades, for the martyrdom of the mujahid leader Naji Abu Seif (Abu Hamza), the military spokesman for the Quds Brigades, who was martyred as a result of a treacherous Zionist bombing, after an honorable career of Jihad full of giving and sacrifice.
We mourn the martyred leader Abu Hamza to our steadfast Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world. We recall his heroic stances and his firm voice, which echoed the victories of the resistance in confronting the brutality of the occupation, and bore witness to its steadfastness in the face of its brutal aggression."

❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The Zionist enemy continues its brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, targeting innocent civilians and humanitarian workers, in a dangerous escalation of the genocide it is committing against our people, amidst a suspicious international silence. The latest of these heinous crimes was the targeting of a facility in Deir al-Balah used by foreign workers in UN institutions, resulting in the martyrdom of an international employee and the injury of five others.
This crime not only constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law but also comes within the occupation's systematic policy of targeting civilians and those working in humanitarian and relief fields, aiming to terrorize them and deter them from performing their humanitarian duty towards our people, thereby deepening the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.
Over the past months, the occupation has killed hundreds of UNRWA employees and workers in international humanitarian and relief institutions, as part of its criminal war through which it seeks to tighten the siege and suffocate the Gaza Strip, depriving our people of the most basic necessities of life, in a blatant challenge to international laws and norms.
We demand the international community, the United Nations, and its institutions to take a clear and decisive stance on this heinous crime, condemn the fascist behavior of the terrorist Netanyahu government, and earnestly work to hold it accountable for its crimes against humanity. We also emphasize the necessity of urgent action by all means to aid our people in the Gaza Strip and to break the unjust siege imposed on it."
