Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar has thanked Secretary General of Lebanon's Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for the resistance movement’s support in the war with Israel.

“Your blessed actions have expressed your solidarity on the fronts of the ‘axis of resistance’, supporting and engaging in the battle,” Sinwar told the Hezbollah leader in a letter, according to al-Manar.

Sinwar vowed that the “blessed convoys of martyrs will increase in strength and power in confronting the Nazi Zionist occupation.”

The Hamas leader also pledged to continue fighting “the Zionist project” alongside the axis of resistance, “until the occupation is defeated and swept away from our land, and our independent state with full sovereignty is established with Jerusalem (al-Quds) as its capital.”

Hezbollah has been engaging in exchanges of fire with the Israeli army since the outbreak of the Gaza war on October 7. Hezbollah has said that its attacks on Israel will stop once a ceasefire has been established in Gaza.
