Imam Besar Istiqlal Mosque Nasaruddin Umar invites all congregants to pray for the victims of the Israeli zionist.

He reiterated that the Istiqlal Mosque has consistently voiced the independence of the Palestinian people so far.

"Istiqlal together with all congregants have a comprehensive way to do so that the Palestinian people can enjoy independence so that we can lift the whole world to concentrate on what our brothers and sisters in Palestine have experienced," he explained.

"He risked everything for his country's freedom," he said.

Previously, Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an air strike in Tehran, Iran. This news was conveyed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on Wednesday morning. Hamas blamed Israel for the attack.

Israel has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders for the group's attack on October 7, 2023 against Israel, which killed 1,200 people and left about 250 others hostage.

Nasaruddin Umar and the Istiqlal Mosque expressed their condolences for the death of Haniyeh. The former deputy minister strongly condemned the Israeli terrorist attack that killed Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran.

Israeli military spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Israel often does not do so when it comes to the killings carried out by their intelligence agency, Mossad.

Hamas said Haniyeh was killed in Zionist airstrikes at his residence in Tehran after he was present at the inauguration of Iran's new president. Hamas declared to the Palestinian great people and the people of Arab and Islamic countries as well as all free people in the world, the brother of leader Ismail Ismail Haniyeh was martyred," the statement said briefly.

In another statement, the group quoted Haniyeh as saying that the Palestinian struggle has a "financing" and Hamas is ready to bear this cost, namely martyrdom for the sake of Palestine, for the sake of God Almighty, and for the sake of the dignity of this nation.
