“Sinwar was born during the occupation, he tasted the bitter pain of displacement with all his heart, and for many years he thought, studied, wrote in the prisons of the Zionist regime and then became a leader”
“His behavior, his struggles and his decisions should be seen and judged from such a lens.”
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini further said that In addition to all the virtues and characteristics, the noble martyr was the follower of Ali and Imam Hossein (‘a) and their school.

Earlier in a message, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also emphasized the unwavering trajectory of the “resistance front,” stating that it remains unstoppable despite the martyrdom of its “prominent figures.”
“Someone like [Sinwar], who spent a lifetime fighting against the usurping and oppressive enemy, deserves no end other than martyrdom. His loss is certainly painful for the resistance front, but this front did not stop advancing with the martyrdom of prominent figures such as Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Fat'hi Shaqaqi, [Abdel Aziz] Rantisi, and Ismail Haniyeh, and it will not slow down in the slightest with the martyrdom of Sinwar, God willing.
Hamas is alive and will remain alive,” he said, referring to Hamas leaders all assassinated by Israel. He reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s commitment to supporting the resistance fighters, adding, “As always, we will stand by the mujahideen and sincere fighters, with God’s success and assistance.”
