It is martyrdom that irrigates the cause, the society, the humanitarian values, and the progress of humanity itself, as is evident since the dawn of creation. 

Ever since the very first murder on Earth, of Abel the Righteous, who achieved martyrdom on his brutal death at the hands of his wicked brother Cain, the struggle between good and evil has continued in all ages and all over the world.

The blood of martyrs has always triumphed over the swords, guns, bombs, and other instruments of death used by their seemingly powerful enemies, who despite lies, deceit, and propaganda to vilify their victims while extolling themselves during their brief rule, stand permanently disgraced in the mirror of history.

The same old story occurs today. This time in the Levant and parts of West Asia, where the struggle between good and evil has entered a critical phase with the Zionist-usurped land of Palestine serving as the centre stage.

Here, the martyrs are playing heroic roles in defence of faith, homeland, and humanitarian values until their last breath. On the other hand, the murderers are mercilessly killing – even infants and babes in the wombs of mothers – and reducing entire townships to rubble, in a vain bid to blot out everything good by portraying their victims as ‘terrorists’.

The US regime and the illegal Zionist entity are undoubtedly the incarnation of Cain in his most cruel form, while the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Yemenis, the Iraqis, the Bahrainis, the Iranians, and others, are representatives of Abel the Righteous.

Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, said to be the mastermind of last year’s heroic ‘Operations Al-Aqsa Storm’, who while defending Gaza had recalled the heartrending tragedy of Karbala and invoked the name of the Chief of Martyrs – Imam Husain (AS), the Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) – has become the latest prized victim of this devilish duo.

Devoid of manliness and scared to death of even approaching the injured Palestinian hero whom they had accidently come across during their routine razing of buildings, the Israeli terrorists nervously gunned him down in his chair from close quarters.

Sinwar, however, as the supreme symbol of the tiny Gaza strip’s over a year of resistance against the might of the US and the fright of the Zionists, courted immortal martyrdom in a chivalrous manner by attacking with a stick the drone targeting him.

Interestingly, the 61-year old martyr had predicted two years earlier: “The greatest gift the occupation can give me is to kill me. Today (in 2022), I am 59 years old and truthfully, I prefer to be killed by an F-16 (aircraft) or missiles than die from COVID, of from a stroke. At the age 60, we are closer to death. I prefer to die a martyr than to die a meaningless death.” 

These recollections of his statements, along with the video released by his dastardly killers mistakenly showing his heroic death, trash the numerous claims made by the Zionist war criminals that Sinwar spent much of his time hiding in Gaza tunnels surrounded by bodyguards and the captured Israelis.

The despicable coward now exposed to the whole word is ‘Crime Minister’ Benjamin Netanyahu who terrified of death constantly changes places of residences, while with US weapons and the American taxpayers’ money he continues the genocide in Gaza, plots holocaust in Lebanon, rains missiles on Syria, and threatens a ‘suicidal’ attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

As for the Resistance Front of Palestine, to quote the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, “it 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 Insha Allah (God Willing) will not slow down in the slightest with the martyrdom of Sinwar.”

The Iranian mission to the UN has rightly remarked that the image of Sinwar “standing on the battlefield in combat attire and facing the enemy only strengthens the spirit of resistance. He becomes a model for the youth and children to carry forward his path toward the liberation of Palestine. As long as occupation and aggression exist, resistance will endure, for the martyr remains alive and a source of inspiration.”
