According to reports from CNN, The Times of Israel and other media on the 31st, Zuhri, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), stated on the 31st that the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh was a "serious escalation" of the situation.

Zuhri said, "The assassination of Haniyeh by the Israeli occupying forces is a serious escalation aimed at destroying the will of Hamas and the will of our people. We are sure that this escalation will not achieve its goals."

He noted that Hamas as a movement is "strong enough" to cope with the death of any leader. He added, "Hamas is an idea and an organization, not an individual. Whatever the sacrifice, Hamas will continue along this path and we are confident of victory."

"The critical moment has arrived," Zuhri said. "The Israeli occupiers must realize that they are shooting at themselves, not at Haniyeh." He also said, "We are launching an open war to liberate Jerusalem and are ready to pay any price."

Zuhri called on "the country's rulers and youth to rise up with all their might in all fields and in all places," and stressed that "this assassination will not achieve the goals of the occupying forces, nor will it force Hamas to surrender."
