The Israeli army has no morals. An Israeli tank operator ran over a Hamas member who was injured and surrendered, but the driver did not respond and ran him over.

The martyr who was run over by an enemy tank?!

He was lawyer Abdullah Khalil Hamed Abdeen "Abu Firas," an elite commander and one of the most skilled resistance fighters. He knew neither rest nor wounds.

During the first invasion of Khan Yunis, he was severely injured, losing one of his eyes—an eye that preceded him to heaven—and was wounded in the foot that day, nearly paralyzing him.

Everyone around him thought Abu Firas would soon get his share of rest after a long journey of blood and sacrifice.

But that day, he smiled and said, "Jihad does not stop with wounds."

He returned to the field as if nothing had happened.

His heart was like a lion's, leading his soldiers from the front lines, steadfastly supporting them with his smile, and teaching them that martyrdom is the highest aspiration of men.

Today, in the battle south of Khan Yunis, he advanced to the front lines, fighting until his last breath, until tanks surrounded him and ran him over, believing that iron kills men.

Little did they know that heroes are killed standing, and their memory remains a fire in the hearts of the enemy.

Abu Firas… the lawyer who left the courtrooms for the battlefields of jihad, the teacher who trained generations of resistance fighters, the man who lived with one eye, yet with it he saw the path to heaven more clearly than all sighted people.

Abu Firas is gone, but his image, drenched in blood, will never fade, and his voice on the front lines will remain a witness that heroism is not just words, but rather men who have fulfilled their pledge to Allah d.
