Hamas: Israel Will Pay Heavy Price for Killing Top Commander

Spokesman of the Palestinian Hamas Movement Sami Abu Zuhri condemned Israel’s terror attack on Hamas military chief, Ahmad al-Jabari, and warned that the Zionist regime will pay a heavy price for its heinous crime.

“The Zionist regime will pay a heavy price for the assassination of Al-Jabari”, the deputy chief commander of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Hamas Movement, Abu Zuhri said on Wednesday.

The Israeli army assassinated al-Jabari in an air strike on his car near Al-Amal Hotel in Gaza on Wednesday.

The Israeli terror attack killed two Palestinians and injured three others, including senior members of Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades.

According to FNA dispatches, a companion of al-Jabari was also among those killed in the attack by Israeli jet fighters.

Also, the Quds Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement – announced that Israel should take full responsibility for its crime, and added that it will not restrict itself to any redline in reacting to this assassination.

The assassination comes after the Zionist regime officials had made open calls for the assassination of Hamas leaders, including the Palestinian Prime Minister Islmail Haniyeh.

Following the terror operation, the Israeli army started fresh attacks on Gaza’s residential areas killing defenseless civilians, including women and children. Israel’s air strikes and artillery raids on Gaza are still continuing and a thick cloud of black smoke has covered its sky.
