The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on Monday mourned the passing away earlier today in occupied Jerusalem of Hassan Al-Keek, one of the members of the founding committee of the Hamas Movement.

The Hamas statement, a copy of which was sent to the PIC, paid tribute to Keek, director of the industrial Arab Yateem (orphan) school and co-founder of Hamas.

It hailed the deceased who can now rest in peace after exerting big efforts in support of right and national constants and in catering for the people's interests.
