"We will continue our resistance path till the release of all Palestinian prisoners and lands," he vowed.
He concluded by stressing that Fuqaha’s blood is "the fuel for victory and liberation."
Unknown gunmen assassinate al-Qassam commander in Gaza
Unknown gunmen on Friday evening assassinated al-Qassam Brigades commander and ex-detainee Mazen al-Fuqaha in Tel al-Hawa area in southern Gaza City.

Mazen Fuqaha, from Tubas city in the West Bank, is a member of al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement. He is an ex-detainee who was released in Wafaa al-Ahrar swap deal in 2011 between Hamas and Israel on condition he would be deported to Gaza.
Israeli occupation forces arrested Fuqaha over his responsibility for the Safad anti-occupation attack which led to the death of nine Israelis. It was carried out in revenge for the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader in Gaza Sheikh Salah Shehadeh.
Political bureau member of Hamas Ezzet Resheq described the assassination on his Twitter account as "cowardly".

“Israel’s Mossad is clearly behind the al-Qassam Brigades leader’s assassination,” he added.

Hamas holds Israel fully responsible for assassination of Mazen Fuqaha
The Hamas Movement and its armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, in the Gaza Strip have held the Israeli occupation state and its collaborators fully responsible for the assassination of Mazen Fuqaha, one of its military commanders.
In a press release on Friday evening, Hamas mourned the death of Fuqaha, describing him one of the heroes of al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank and one of the Palestinian prisoners who were released as part of the 2011 swap deal.
Hamas noted that martyr Fuqaha was killed on Friday evening by unknown assassins outside his home in Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
“The occupation knows that the blood of resistance fighters does not go in vain, and the Hamas Movement knows how to respond to such crimes,” its statement said.

For its part, al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas mourned Fuqaha on its website, and held Israel responsible for his assassination.
Fuqaha was originally from Tubas in the West Bank, northeast of Nablus.
Fuqaha was serving 6 life sentences in Israeli prison for his involvement in a 2002 attack in Safad in northern 1948 Occupied Palestine that killed six Israelis in response to the assassination of Sheikh Salah Shehada, a founding leader of Hamas's armed wing. He was deported to Gaza following his release in the prisoner exchange deal in 2011.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has accused the Israeli occupation state of assassinating Mazen Fuqaha, one of its senior commanders, vowing to respond proportionately to the Israeli crime.
“We say it clearly, the crime was plotted and committed by the Zionist enemy, and it is responsible for its consequences,” the Brigades stated in a press release on Saturday.
It vowed that the Israeli occupation would pay dearly for its crime. “It is an oath we take before God first and then before our nation and people that the enemy will pay a price for its crime proportionally to the size of its assassination of our martyr and commander Abu Mohamed (Fuqaha).”
“Those who play with fire will burn themselves,” the Brigades warned.
“His martyrdom has come after a long journey of struggle, arrest and giving, during which he tired the enemy and dealt deadly blows to it in the heart of occupied Palestine,” it said, mourning his death.
