Hamas calls for ‘day of rage’ for group leader’s burial

Hamas has called for a “day of furious rage” on Friday, coinciding with the burial of its slain leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar, AFP reports.

Hamas has encouraged an outpouring of public anger following Haniyeh’s killing in Tehran in an attack blamed on Israel, as well as to protest the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip.

“Let roaring anger marches start from every mosque” following Friday prayers, the group said.

Hamas called on “the masses of our revolutionary people in the occupied West Bank” to show their support for Palestinians in Gaza, “affirming our commitment to our land and national rights, and confronting the [Israeli] occupation’s plans”.
