"The blood Abu al-Abd Haniyeh (nickname for) Haniyeh will not go in vain. This global support for the Palestinian cause, the continued resistance, the continuation of the Al Aqsa Floods (Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel), the steadfastness of the Palestinian people inside Palestine and in the Gaza Strip specifically, the proliferation of the resistance in the entirety of the Palestinian territories and the global interest in the martyr, Abu al-Abd make for the most eloquent and effective response to the Israeli occupation."

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Palestinians in Beirut held a symbolic funeral on Friday for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard.
Crowds waved the flags of multiple Palestinian factions and two mock coffins as demonstrators from Morocco to Iran took to the streets.
"The blood Abu al-Abd Haniyeh (nickname for) Haniyeh will not go in vain," said Raafat Murra, a Hamas official who attended the symbolic funeral.
Haniyeh was killed Wednesday by a predawn airstrike in the Iranian capital Tehran.
Iran’s supreme leader vowed revenge against Israel.
Israel has yet to claim or deny a role in the killing of Haniyeh, but Hamas and its allies allege it was responsible.
