The Iranian mission to the U.N made the defiant statement soon after the killing of Hamas mastermind Yahya Sinwar by Israel.
The Iran Mission to the United Nations has responded to the killing of Iran-backed Hamas commander and mastermind of Israel’s Oct. 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar, by defiantly declaring „the spirit of resistance with be strengthened“ in a post from its X account.
According to the Israeli military, on Thursday Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops spotted Hamas fighters in a building in Rafah, Gaza, and fire was exchanged before an order was made for an IDF tank to strike the building. Drone footage released shortly after the incident shows an injured man, who was later confirmed by police through DNA evidence to be Yahya Sinwar, sitting in a chair in a heavily damaged ground floor room.
The drone video shows the Hamas commander’s final gesture was to throw a sticklike object toward the drone. He was then shot dead and his body was removed in a stretcher.
Regarding the momentous killing for Israel, the Iran Mission to the U.N.’s post continued „when Muslims look up to Martyr Sinwar standing on the battlefield—in combat attire and out in the open, not in a hideout, facing the enemy—the spirit of resistance will be strengthened“ it said.
