“Our martyr, commander Abu Haitham, attained martyrdom as he had wished since joining the ranks of the fighters, and attained the greatest medal and honor, like tens of thousands of our people and fighters, after surviving several assassination attempts.

We pledge before Allah and then to our martyrs that we will remain on their path and continue their way until Allah grants His victory. The commander will be succeeded by thousands of strong commanders and fighters who will not rest until the land and holy sites are cleansed of the defilement of the occupying usurper.”

“We want to engage with the world, but we do not want to compromise on Sharia or subject it to pressure.

If anyone wants to impose things on us that deprive us of our freedom and independence, then we do not want such engagement, and we have no need for it.”
