The group has said senior Hezbollah leader Taleb Abdullah was helping the “defence and support of the battle being waged by the Palestinian people” while leaving behind a “legacy filled with strikes on the Zionist enemy in southern Lebanon and north of occupied Palestine”, Al Jazeera reports.

“We recognise the support of our brothers in Hezbollah, and we mourn all the martyrs whose blood was spilt in support of Gaza, Jerusalem and al-Aqsa,” Hamas said in a statement.

The group also expressed its appreciation for the “resistance in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq”.
