Al-Azhar issues statement mourning Palestinians killed in Gaza

Al-Azhar, the highest seat of learning in the Sunni Islamic world based in Cairo, released a statement mourning the Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

"Al-Azhar affirms that the martyrs of the 'Palestinian resistance' were true resisters who terrified their enemy and instilled fear and terror in their hearts. They were not terrorists, as the enemy falsely and deceitfully tries to portray them," the institution said.
