Resheq told PIC that the body of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh arrived at Damascus airport at a late hour on Thursday night where he will be buried after the Friday prayers.

He added that the movement along with the concerned authorities in the United Arab Emirates were investigating the circumstances surrounding the assassination of  Mabhouh.

Resheq said that the martyr was a founder of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and that he was behind the capture of two Israeli occupation soldiers, Ilan Sa'doun and Avi Sbourts to exchange them for Palestinian captives in occupation jails.
