Ghaani made the comments in a message to top Hamas commander Mohammed Deif.
“Your brothers in the resistance axis stand united with you and will not allow the enemy to reach its dirty goals in Gaza and Palestine,” Ghaani wrote to Deif, according to the report.
The “resistance axis” refers to a network of regional groups supported by Iran, including Hamas, Hezbollah, various militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthi militia in Yemen.
“We stand by our fraternal pledge that unites us and we assure you that we will do whatever it takes in this historic battle,” Ghaani added in the letter.
Ghaani was named in 2020 as head of the Quds Force, replacing Qassem Soleimani, who was eliminated in a US drone strike outside of Baghdad’s airport in Iraq.
The Quds Force is the foreign operations arm of Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and is on the US list of "foreign terrorist organizations". READ MORE
