The martyrdom of the founder and secretary general of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement.
The Mujahideen Movement’s information website states in this statement: Sheikh Asaad Atiya Abu Sharia (Abu al-Sheikh), an Islamic thinker and Mujahideen commander from the pillars of jihad and resistance in Palestine, the founder, secretary general and commander of the military branch of the Mujahideen Movement, was martyred in the bombing of the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City on Saturday.
The statement adds: In this bombing, Ahmed Atiya Abu Sharia (Abu Falestin), the brother of the secretary general and a member of the Central Secretariat of the Mujahideen Movement and the head of the Gaza branch of the movement, and dozens of other members of Abu Sharia’s family were martyred.
The Mujahideen Movement’s statement continues: Today, we bid farewell to a great commander who, during a quarter of a century, inflicted painful blows on the Zionist enemy in various battles and was always pursued by the enemy and escaped assassination more than five times, but all these difficulties did not stop him from continuing the path of jihad and resistance.
The statement adds: This great mujahid had sacrificed his five brothers to Palestine before Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, and after Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, more than 150 members of his family, including his wife, children, brothers, sisters, and dozens of his relatives and this mujahid family, were martyred.
The statement continues: This great mujahid, by raising a Quranic and jihadi generation, played a role in various operations and inflicted painful blows on the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, Jenin, Tulkarm, Bethlehem, Hebron, Beersheba, and Ramla.
The statement adds: This great Islamic thinker always called for the unity of the nation and the synergy of forces to confront the primary enemy of the Islamic nation, the Zionist regime, and sacrificed his life in this path.
The Mujahideen Movement emphasized in its statement that the blood of this martyr and other Palestinian martyrs is a trust on the shoulders of the fighters, and these cowardly assassinations cannot break the determination and will of the Palestinian people.
This movement emphasized that the path of jihad and resistance will continue until all the rights of the nation are regained and the land of Palestine is fully liberated, and the Zionist enemy must know that this crime will not go unanswered and that the enemy will pay a heavy price for this crime and all its crimes against the Palestinian people.
