Iran military commanders emphasize strong response regarding assassination of Hamas leader

Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, said on Thursday that the resistance front will give the necessary response to the Zionist crime of assassinating Ismail Haniyeh.

General Mousavi referred to Haniyeh as one of the most prominent resistance leaders and emphasized that his loss is a great tragedy.
