Palestinian groups mourn 'inspiring leader' Yahya Sinwar

Palestinian political and armed groups on Friday mourned the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in written statements.

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) said: "The great national leader Yahya Sinwar was martyred while fighting until the last moment. The martyrdom of Sinwar will only be an additional incentive that drives our people and their resistance to cohesion and continuing the struggle."

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said: "We mourn the leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the 'Al-Aqsa Flood' epic, and one of the prominent symbols of the Palestinian struggle.”

The Palestinian National Initiative said: "The assassination of the struggling leaders has not, and will never, break the will of the Palestinian people."

The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine said: "The inspiring leader Yahya Sinwar will remain the living, beating heart of the nation, full of revolution and resistance. Sinwar's name will remain associated with the humiliation and defeat that covered the Zionist enemy."

Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement said: "Today we mourn a great Palestinian leader who spent his life as a fighter, leading from the frontlines, without hesitation or weakness. The sons of the Palestinian people and their resistance will remain loyal to the blood of the martyr leader Yahya Sinwar."
