GAZA(Palestine Foundation Information Center)The Hamas Movement has expressed its condolences to the Palestinian people and the Arab and Muslim nations over the martyrdom of Sheikh Youssef Salama, former minister of Islamic Awqaf, asking Allah Almighty to bestow His mercy upon him and make Paradise his eternal dwelling.
Sheikh Salama was martyred along with his wife on Sunday, while their daughter was injured in an Israeli attack on their home in al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza City.
“As we mourn martyr Sheikh Youssef Salama and all the martyrs of our Palestinian people in all arenas at home and abroad, we affirm that the occupation’s persistence in committing crimes against our people and destroying all aspects of human life in the Gaza Strip for nearly three months will not succeed in achieving its aggressive goals, while our people will remain steadfast on their land, defending it until the occupation is defeated and eliminated,” Hamas said in a statement on Monday.
