On October 18, local time, Basem Naeem, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement's Political Bureau, issued a statement saying, “If Israel thinks that killing our leader means the end of the Hamas movement, then they are wrong.” Naeem said that former leaders of Hamas have also been killed, but Hamas will grow stronger every time. These dead leaders will become idols for future generations and continue to advance towards the goal of liberating Palestine. Naeem also said that it is painful to lose loved ones, and especially to lose outstanding leaders. However, the Palestinian armed forces are convinced that they “will eventually win.” When asked if this statement was a confirmation of the death of Hamas leader Sinwar, Naeem denied it.
