DOHA, Qatar – Hamas calls for a “day of furious rage” tomorrow, coinciding with the burial of its assassinated leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar.
In a statement, Hamas encourages an outpouring of public anger following Haniyeh’s killing in Tehran in an attack blamed on Israel, as well as to protest the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
“Let roaring anger marches start from every mosque” following Friday prayers, the terror group says.
Haniyeh, who resided in exile in Qatar with other members of Hamas’s political leadership, is to be buried in the Gulf state tomorrow after a public funeral was held today in the Iranian capital.

Haniyeh and a bodyguard were killed Wednesday in a pre-dawn strike on their accommodation in Tehran, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said, in an attack that has stoked fears of a wider regional conflict.
Hamas calls on “the masses of our revolutionary people in the occupied West Bank” to show their support for Palestinians in Gaza, “affirming our commitment to our land and national rights, and confronting [Israel’s] plans.”
