Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam congratulated the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and the resilient Palestinian people on the selection of the mujahed and leader Yahya Ibrahim Sinwar as the head of Hamas’ political bureau, succeeding the martyr Ismail Haniyeh.
“We ask Almighty Allah to grant the leader Sinwar support and guidance to carry out this responsibility during this historic phase of confrontation with the Israeli enemy,” Abdulsalam wrote in his X account on Wednesday.

In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas announced the selection of Sinwar as head of the movement’s political bureau to succeed Haniyeh.
Haniyeh was assassinated in an attack on his residence in the early hours of July 31, in the Iranian capital Tehran, where he had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s newly-elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, a day earlier.
