Jamila Al-Shanti, a member of the Hamas political bureau, was killed as a result of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 13th day in a row.

Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip confirmed the death of the leader Al-Shanti, “Umm Abdullah,” the founder of the women’s movement of Hamas, and the first female member of a political bureau.

In 2006, Al-Shanti was elected as a member of the Legislative Council for the “Change and Reform” bloc, affiliated with the Hamas movement.

The Legislative Council issued a statement mourning Al-Shanti, in which it said: “The martyr Dr. Jamila Al-Shanti spent a life full of giving, giving, and sacrificing for the sake of advancing the Palestinian cause, and she had a major and notable role in parliamentary, academic, political, advocacy, and educational work.”

The statement continued: “As we mourn the death and fighter Dr. Jamila Al-Shanti, let us affirm that we are continuing on her path of all the righteous martyrs of our people until the occupation is defeated from our land, our sanctuaries, and our blessed lands, and this heinous crime and all crimes against humanity will remain a witness to the terrorism of the fascist occupation that kills children and women.” In front of the world's eyes."
