Hezbullah issued this statement:
"Commenting on the unfortunate and painful incident that affected the oppressed martyr Ali Shibli in Jiyeh area, who was killed by the logic of evasion and fanaticism far from the logic of religion and the state, we affirm our absolute rejection of all types of murder and permissibility. We call upon the security and judicial agencies to resolutely confront the perpetrators and those who participated with them."

On this day, 7 years ago, we remember the Black Friday massacre in Rafah.
IDF killed more than 140 Palestinians, including 75 children, and injured 1,000 other civilians.
