Hamas holds mourning ceremony to honor Martyr Qassam fighter

A mourning ceremony was held by the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, late on Thursday evening, to pay homage to the Martyr Qassam fighter Fadi Jehad Hamdan.

Hundreds of Palestinians joined a mourning ceremony for the deceased Qassam fighter Fadi Jehad Hamdan outside al-Rahma Mosque, in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip.

Speaking during the ceremony, ex-prisoner Eyad Abu Founoun said: “Fadi’s blood and that of the other Palestinian fighters will only make the Palestinian resistance stronger.”

Abu Founoun hailed Hamdan’s sense of self-abnegation and vowed that the Palestinian resistance will do whatever it takes to release prisoners from Israeli jails.

He further harked back to the details of a videotaped sniper operation carried out by Hamdan on January 15, 2008 in Khan Younis against an Israeli settler.

Hamas leadership in Khan Younis further paid tribute to Hamdan’s family.
