Hamas held a celebration in honor of its members killed in recent fighting. The group's leader, Yahya Sinwar, appeared on stage embracing, then lifting, a young boy dressed in military gear. The boy was given a submachine gun to brandish. The celebration was broadcast live on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) on May 24, 2021. The son of Jamal Al-Zabeda, who was the head of research and special projects in the munitions productions department of Hamas and was recently assassinated by Israel, said: "We will pave the path of liberation with your body parts, and turn your skulls into stairs that will lead us to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and all the plundered villages and cities."
Son of Jamal Al-Zabeda: "Our final message is to the plundering, spiteful, and criminal enemy, that plunders the land and the holy places, who violates the honor of our women and all that we hold sacred. We promise to you that we will not rest until we drive out the very last plunderer of this blessed land. We will pave the path of liberation with your body parts, and we will turn your skulls into a ladder that will take us to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and all the plundered villages and cities.
