Qassem claimed that &#8220;treacherous hands assassinated Mohammad Hamadi&#8221; and mentioned that investigations are still ongoing. However, he stated that &#8220;attention is directed toward the Zionists. We are investigating the major breaches to draw lessons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from the Saudi <em>Al-Hadath <\/em>channel, armed men in two vehicles opened fire on Hamadi.
