In a letter to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the secretary general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad hails Iran’s support for the resistance front in its 12-day war against the Israeli regime, extending his congratulations to the Leader on the great victory.

In his Saturday letter, Ziyad al-Nakhalah said that he has the honor to congratulate the Leader on behalf of himself and the Islamic Jihad forces as well as its armed wing Quds Brigades on the victory of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance against the Zionist enemy.

He added that Ayatollah Khamenei’s "constant, continued and open support" for Palestine in all fields has "played the most important and leading role" in “Operation Sword of al-Quds” and its subsequent achievements.

"Despite the enemy’s [purported] military upper hand, fighters of the resistance entered the battlefield with full power, strength, bravery and courage," he said.

Nakhalah said the Palestinian people and resistance defeated the enemies and revealed the image of the Israeli regime which is "weaker than a spider web."  

The Palestinian resistance official also thanked the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) for standing by the Islamic Jihad forces for long and for sincerely providing them with any capability, know-how and assistance leading to such a big victory.   

He especially commemorated the late commander of the Quds Force Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was martyred near Baghdad airport, Iraq, on January 3, 2020 in a drone strike directly ordered by former US president Donald Trump.
