NEW: Hamas released a statement on the events in Syria: “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, congratulates the brotherly Syrian people on their success in achieving their aspirations for freedom and justice. We call on all components of the Syrian people to unite, enhance national cohesion, and rise above the pains of the past. We, in Hamas and alongside the Palestinian people, strongly stand with the great Syrian people. We reaffirm our commitment to Syria’s unity, the integrity of its territories, and respect for the Syrian people’s will, independence, and political choices. The brotherly Syrian people, with all its diversity, national unity, and spirit of brotherhood and tolerance, is capable—by the will of Allah—of overcoming all challenges and navigating through this critical phase to achieve prosperity, development, security, stability, and growth for Syria and its dear people. We also emphasize the importance of Syria continuing its historical and pivotal role in supporting the Palestinian people and their resistance to achieve the goals of their just cause, while solidifying Syria’s leadership role on the Arab and Islamic fronts as well as regionally and internationally. Hamas strongly condemns the repeated brutal aggression by the Zionist occupation against Syrian territories and firmly rejects any Zionist ambitions or schemes targeting brotherly Syria—its land and its people. May Allah protect Syria, Palestine, and the entire nation from all harm."

Anas, a journalist in Gaza, shares this from Surah al An’am: Verse 45 فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ The evildoers were wiped out: praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds.

On 6 Dec 2023, I messaged Dr. Refaat Alareer for a comment on Israel’s targeting of Palestinian academics and prominent figures for a report. The next day, I regained internet access, only to learn he himself had joined them and had been assassinated the same day I reached out.
