Bless martyrdom of your wife, son — Hamas negotiator to Deif
Hamas official and member of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo, Izzat al-Rishq, writes a tweet addressed to Hamas commander Muhammad Deif, who may or may not have been assassinated by Israel last night, blessing the killing of Deif’s wife and son in the IDF strike on their home.
The funeral for the two is being held in Gaza City at the moment.
“My brother, I salute you and your resistance and perseverance and the sweet blood you’ve shed. Blessed be the martyrdom of your wife and son. May they follow the convoy of martyrs fallen in battles past, present and future,” al-Rishq writes.
