On May 19, 2023, a video was posted to the YouTube channel of the Lebanon-base Mayadeen Network showing a young girl named Maria, who is the daughter of a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad member named Iyad Al-Hassani who was killed in the recent Gaza conflict, conveying a message to the "cowardly" Jews. Maria said that she is stronger than the Jews, that her father had been granted his wish for martyrdom, that he is now happy in Paradise, and that the Jews will melt in Hell. Maria also said that the Palestinians will pray in Jerusalem and that they will keep fighting and bombing the Jews until Palestine in liberated.
Maria Al-Hassani: "My name is Maria, and I am the daughter of the commander Iyad Al-Hassani. I love him a lot and I am very strong, stronger that all the Jews.
"The Jews are happy because they killed my dad, but my dad got what he was looking for. He is very happy in Paradise now, and when you go to hell, you will melt in it.
"I am not afraid of you because you are all cowards. If not for your weapons, you would be at a very low level. You don't even know what Allah means. We will pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. My dad is a martyr now. We will become stronger and will pray in Jerusalem. We will keep fighting you and bombing you until we liberate our land, because this is our land and we must adhere to it."
