Palestinians in Gaza have paid tribute to slain Iranian Commander Qassem Soleimani at a memorial service.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad condemned Soleimani's assassination and sent their "dearest condolences" to Iran.
The National and Islamic groups called for supporters to gather in Gaza to pay their respects, as thousands of mourners gathered in Baghdad for the funeral procession for Soleimani, Iraqi military commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and others killed in a US airstrike on Friday, January 3, in Iraq.
Hamas said Soleimani "had a senior role in supporting Palestinian resistance in all fields." It extended "its dearest condolences to the Iranian leadership and the people of Iran at the martyrdom of Major General Qassem Soleimani."
