Hamas marks Sinwar’s first martyrdom anniversary, vowing continued resistance and loyalty to his legacy

“The blood of our martyred leaders will continue to fuel the path of resistance for future generations,” Hamas added.

“A full year has passed since that heroic epic witnessed by the entire world, led by the commander of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, martyr Yehya al-Sinwar, who concluded his life and struggle, marked by unwavering resolve and sacrifice, by advancing without retreat, standing firm at the heart of the battle and defiantly brandishing a stick in his hand in the face of the occupation’s brutality and crimes,” Hamas said.

“We proudly recall the noble legacy and blessed journey of Yehya al-Sinwar, who devoted his life to resistance from a young age, remaining steadfast and unyielding throughout 23 years of imprisonment, defying his jailers. After his release, he continued the path of preparation, rebuilding, and strategic planning, which culminated with the dawn of October 7, 2023, a moment that rocked the occupation, fractured its foundations, and shattered the myth of its army. He ultimately died as a martyr on the battlefield, fully engaged in combat,” Hamas added.

“The martyrdom of leader Yehya al-Sinwar, and all the leaders and icons who preceded him on the path of struggle for liberation and return, will only strengthen the Movement, our people, and our resistance. It will deepen their resolve, reinforce their commitment to the same path, and renew their loyalty to the blood and sacrifices of those who came before them,” Hamas highlighted.
