Resistance committees in Palestine mourn martyred Mujahid Yusuf al-Amir
Gaza – Saba: The Resistance Committees in Palestine mourned the martyred mujahid Yusuf Imad al-Amir, who was assassinated in a cowardly Zionist operation on Monday after being besieged and engaging in clashes with the criminal Zionist army and its special forces in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin in the West Bank. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Committees affirmed that the assassination of resistance fighters will not break the will of the Palestinian people nor extinguish the flames of resistance and revolution burning across all occupied Palestinian land. "The escalating Zionist crimes and the assassinations of heroic resistance fighters confirm that the Zionist enemy is growing more savage , criminal, and only the escalation of resistance in every inch of our blessed land will deter it," the statement said. The Committees called on the sons and daughters of the Palestinian people, its free men and women, resistance fighters, and revolutionaries to escalate resistance and uprising, carry out heroic and painful martyrdom operations, and deliver strong blows to the Zionist enemy—both soldiers and settlers.
