Hamas condemns attacks on Iranian advisors in Syria

GAZA, Jan. 21 (YPA) – The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, strongly condemned an Israeli attack on a residential building in the Syrian capital, Damascus, which killed five Iranian military advisors.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Hamas said the attack earlier in the day on the Mazzeh neighborhood was a violation of the Syrian sovereignty.

It said the attack once again laid bare the threat posed by the “Nazi” Zionist regime to the security and stability of the region.

The attack cannot dent the resolve of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in its mission to fight Israel, adding that nor can it shake Syria’s position as a major supporter of the Palestinian cause, the statement read.

Hamas offered condolences to the Iranian nation, the government and the IRGC for the loss.
