Hundreds protest in Kabul, Balkh against assassination of Ismail Haniyeh

KABUL (TOLOnews): Hundreds of citizens held a protest in Kabul over the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau.

The participants condemned the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, describing his death as a great loss for Islamic countries.

Fazlullah Nuri, a religious scholar, said: “The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’s political bureau, was very cowardly and caused pain to the heart of every Muslim.”

Mohammad Zakir, another religious scholar, said: “Allah Almighty will destroy the Jews and Christians and grant victory and success to the Palestinian Mujahideen.”

Some participants stated that the enemies of Islam have become weak and resort to assassination. They believe that the Islamic world should not remain silent in the face of Israel’s crimes.

Sayed Rozatullah Adib, a university professor, said: “Today, the enemy has become humiliated and weak, which is why they resort to assassination.”

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate also stated in a message that the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh is against all international laws.

Meanwhile, several religious scholars, cultural figures, and youth in Mazar-e-Sharif held a meeting to denounce the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

They said that killing Ismail Haniyeh would not silence the pursuit of justice and the voices of the oppressed children of Palestine and Gaza.

Sayed Sikandar Hosseini Bamdad, the organizer of the event, said: “By eliminating such a personality, the pursuit of justice and the advocacy for Palestinian children will never be forgotten.”

They condemned the war in Gaza, accusing Israel once again of violating human rights and committing genocide, and called on the rulers of that country to end the war in Gaza.

Saleh Mohammad Khaliq, a poet and writer, said: “The pain and suffering of the people of Palestine and the Gaza Strip are the pain and suffering of the entire Islamic world.”

Since the beginning of Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, the number of Palestinian fatalities has reached 39,550, and nearly 100,000 others have been injured, most of whom are children and women.
