“At around 1.30am, we were surprised by bombings that shook the entire area,” he said. “We went to social media, Telegram, Facebook and were shocked to see that the strikes hit my sister, her son, her husband and my two cousins. [The #Israelis] targeted their tent with what I believe was a drone strike, and my sister, her son and my two cousins were martyred.”"

On the Anniversary of Land Day, Palestinian Land is Not for Sale: PFLP


847696

No to the slaughter of the land… No to the folding of banners.
On the anniversary of Land Day… this land is Palestinian, not for sale, and we will never abandon it—no matter how long it takes.

To the masses of our proud Palestinian people… to the masses of our Arab nation… to the free people of the world,

On the 30th of March, we proudly and honorably remember the epic of the Eternal Land Day, when our people in the Naqab, the Triangle, the Galilee, and all parts of occupied Palestine since 1948 rose up on the land of their fathers and forefathers. With bare chests, they faced the zionist machinery of oppression in defense of their land, dignity, and existence. They etched with their blood the features of Palestinian identity and affirmed that the land remains Palestinian and the right remains firm—no matter how immense the challenges or how brutal and criminal this occupation becomes, even as it wages one of the most horrific genocidal wars in modern history.

On this great day, we salute our people in the homeland and the diaspora, especially our people in the occupied interior. We also salute our heroic prisoners steadfast in the enemy’s prisons and our martyrs who have paved the path of liberation and return with their blood. We affirm that our people, who have foiled all displacement schemes, will remain rooted in their land and will not leave—except to return to the cities and villages from which they were forcibly displaced.

O masses of our great people,

This criminal entity has intensified its massacres and policies of destruction and ethnic cleansing, in parallel with its attempts to steal the land and falsify history. Yet, it has always collided with the rock of steadfast Palestinian will, stretching from the Galilee to the Naqab, from the West Bank to Gaza, and from Al-Quds to the diaspora—where the resounding voice echoes: This land is not for sale, and we will never compromise it—no matter how long it takes.

And on this glorious occasion, we in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine reaffirm the following truths:

First: The land is the source of our existence and the essence of our identity. For it, we offer the dearest sacrifices. It is the symbol of our identity and the heart of our struggle with the occupier. Resistance in all its forms is a sacred and legitimate right to defend this eternal and historical right to our land. We will not retreat in the face of zionist and Western schemes aiming to liquidate our cause, displace our people, erase our identity, and alter the features of our land. We will stand with unwavering will and determination to defend our historical rights, no matter the sacrifices.

Second: Palestine is not for sale. No conspiracy will succeed in displacing our people—whether through the scheme of turning Gaza into the “Eastern Riviera” after expelling its population, or by forcing West Bank residents into Jordan, or through other satanic, criminal plans. To the American-zionist enemy, we say: Palestine, from the river to the sea, is the past, present, and future. It will forever belong to the Palestinian people and remain the beating heart of the East, no matter how immense the plots and threats of the American and zionist administrations become.

Third: Through national unity, we can confront the crimes of genocide, displacement, and uprooting, and remain steadfast in the face of occupation. The struggle against this criminal enemy requires unifying ranks, setting aside differences, and moving forward toward genuine national unity that places the interest of Palestine above all else. In this context, we warn against the enemy’s attempts—and its agents’—to inflame internal contradictions and plunge the Palestinian arena into more division and fragmentation. We must recognize the gravity of this moment and work together to unify in confronting these plans.

Fourth: What is happening today in Gaza—the resumption of genocide, intensification of the blockade, and a war of starvation under American cover after a period of pause—is a continuation of the policy of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, who seeks to sustain the aggression to preserve the stability of his ruling coalition at the expense of innocent blood. In the face of this escalation and the horrific crimes being committed around the clock in Gaza, the resistance will continue using all available options to stop the aggression and compel the occupation to implement the understandings and agreements it has violated. This is primarily an Arab responsibility, which demands that they move beyond weakness and inaction, and work seriously to end the aggression and break the siege—using every pressure tool at their disposal to stop this criminal war.
Fifth: Palestine will remain the compass of the nation and the free people of the world in the battle of truth against oppression and occupation. This requires intensifying the struggle against normalization and activating all forms of boycott against the occupation, as well as escalating pressure to stop the aggression and hold the occupation leaders and their supporters accountable as war criminals. Amid the decline in popular momentum, the time has come to revive it in the streets, universities, and unions, and to resume massive demonstrations around the world in support of our steadfast people facing genocide.

Sixth: We renew our call to our people in the occupied interior to boycott the occupation’s institutions that legitimize its crimes, genocidal wars, aggressive schemes, and racist laws. Boycott is a decisive national message in confronting displacement, uprooting, Judaization, normalization, and policies of oppression and racial discrimination. It is an affirmation of Palestinian identity in the face of attempts to portray the occupation as a democratic state, while in reality, it is a settler-colonial entity founded on killing, massacres, and destruction, driven by dark messianic Torah-based tendencies.

O our people everywhere,

Land Day is a pledge and loyalty—a message to the usurper that we remain here, like the olives of the Galilee, the rocks of Carmel, the oranges of Yaffa, and the sea of Gaza. We renew our commitment to our people, martyrs, female prisoners, and prisoners to continue the path of resistance and struggle until Palestine is free from the river to the sea.

Long live Palestine, free and Arab… Glory to the martyrs… Freedom to the prisoners… and return is a right that does not expire.

PFLP Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades Spokesman on al-Quds Day: Resistance to Stay


841568

Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades spokesman, Abu Jamal, affirmed that the resistance “will not lay down its weapons, continuing the path of struggle until Palestine is free and independent.”

During the commemoration of al-Quds Day on Friday, Abu Jamal stressed that the Palestinian people’s resistance is legitimate and will continue as long as the occupation persists, affirming the defense of the people and the land until the last breath.

The spokesman for the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine thanked “all the free peoples who rose on International al-Quds Day and declared their complete support for the Palestinian people.”

The spokesman asserted that Palestinian people continue to be subjected to the most heinous forms of terrorism and abuse, emphasizing how world powers ” openly participate in the slaughter of the Palestinian people” rather than support them and stand with them in the face of injustice and oppression.

He called on all people robbed of their will to change the balance of power in the world, citing it was time to “support the Palestinians,” and adding that history will show no mercy to anyone.

PIJ Bombs Gaza Envelope, Settler Killed in Resistance Operation


819004

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Monday that it had launched a rocket barrage targeting Sderot, Netiv HaAsara, Zikim, and settlements surrounding Gaza.

Zionist media reported that air raid sirens sounded in Sderot and its surroundings for the second time in a row, signaling incoming rocket fire.

This escalation comes as the Palestinian resistance continues to retaliate against aggression on Gaza and the ongoing massacres against civilians.

Resistance operations see uptick


Al-Qassam Brigades launched on Friday a salvo of rockets toward the occupied city of Askalan.

That marks the second day that the Palestinian Resistance launched rockets toward occupied territories in response to the regime restarting its war on Gaza, with the al-Qassam Brigades announcing Thursday a barrage of “Moqadama M90” rockets targeting Tel Aviv in retaliation for the massacres committed by the occupation against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Despite the ceasefire agreement and the commitment to its second phase, the occupation has deliberately imposed new conditions and pressure on Palestinian resistance, violating the truce.

The renewed Zionist aggression on Gaza has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and over a thousand wounded, as airstrikes target various areas across the besieged strip.

Zionist occupation forces admitted to tracking three rockets fired from Gaza toward central occupied Palestine, prompting alarm sirens in Tel Aviv, Gush Dan, and nearby settlements.

Zionist regime ‘to act with a force never seen before’


“For Gazans, this is the latest warning … The air force attacks on Hamas were only the first step. What comes next will be much harder, and you will have to pay the price in full. The evacuation of the population from the war zones will soon begin again. If all kidnapped ‘Israelis’ are not released and Hamas is not forced out of the Gaza Strip, ‘Israel’ will act with a force you have never seen before,” Katz said in a direct address to the people of Gaza on March 19.

The statement signals a further escalation in the occupation’s brutal onslaught in the Gaza Strip, which has already killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced the overwhelming majority of the enclave’s residents.

Katz also urged Gazans to follow the advice of former US President Donald Trump, claiming that compliance with Zionist demands could lead to alternative “options” for them, including the forced displacement from Gaza permanently.

“Return the kidnapped and get rid of Hamas, then other options will open up for you, including passage to other parts of the world. The alternative is total destruction and devastation,” he added.

His remarks reinforce growing concerns over the regime’s plans to depopulate Gaza through systematic forced displacement, a policy widely condemned as a violation of international law.

Zionist settler killed in Resistance operation


A settler was killed and several others were injured in a combined ramming, stabbing, and shooting operation in the Yokneam Illit area, east of Haifa, Israeli media reported on Monday.

According to the regime’s Magen David Adom ambulance service, the person who carried out the operation was shot and killed at the scene.

Reports indicate that the person who carried out the operation initially drove his vehicle into a group of settlers waiting at a bus stop at Tishbi Junction before exiting the car and opening fire, injuring multiple Zionists.

Zionist channel Kan said the Palestinian who carried out the attack was from the 1948 occupied territories.

Video footage showed the moment of the operation.

Meanwhile, occupation forces continue their assaults on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amid the genocidal war they are waging in Gaza.

Palestinian Resistance factions exalted the martyr Karam Jabarin and congratulated the qualitative operation.

Popular Resistance Committees:

The Haifa operation exposes the fragility and weakness of the security system within the zionist entity and reveals the falsehood of the slogans repeated by the pillars of the fascist zionist government.

We exalt the martyr fighter Karam Jabarin, the executor of the heroic operation in Haifa, and call upon all our people in the occupied lands of 1948, Al-Quds, and the West Bank to follow his example and strike the zionist enemy—soldiers and settlers alike—wherever they are on our occupied Palestinian land, in retaliation for the innocent blood spilled in Gaza at the hands of the criminal killers in the zionist government, backed by the American administration.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praises the heroic Haifa operation, considering it a legitimate response to the occupation’s massacres and a clear message that our people are united and that resistance continues.

Mujahideen Movement:

This high-quality operation confirms the failure of all attempts to end the resistance and its choice in the West Bank and reflects the deep-rooted nature of resistance in the hearts of our people and its free sons.

This operation delivers a new security slap to the enemy’s security and intelligence apparatus and reaffirms that there is no safety for zionists anywhere their feet desecrate in Palestine.

This operation once again confirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious schemes aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:

We bless the heroic operation carried out by one of our people from the occupied interior near the city of Haifa, which resulted in several injuries among the usurping settlers.

This operation and others like it are a natural response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes against our people, the genocide it wages against their existence, and its oppression and criminality against our people across all of Palestine.

Hamas:

This operation, along with previous high-quality operations deep within the usurping zionist entity, reaffirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious plans aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, in addition to its continuous criminal practices against our free prisoners.

These heroic operations represent the natural choice and appropriate response to the continued massacres, policies of siege, terror, and oppression, and attempts at displacement, particularly from the West Bank refugee camps, foremost among them Jenin and Tulkarem.

We call for escalating painful heroic operations in the heart of the occupied entity and at all points of its presence in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied interior. We also call for the unity of our people and their rallying behind the choice of resistance until the occupation is expelled.

Palestinian Resistance targets Askalan, north of Gaza, with 2 rockets


804838

The Palestinian Resistance launched two rockets today, Friday, from the northern Gaza Strip, toward the occupied coastal city of Askalan as the occupation resumed its genocidal campaign on Gaza, killing hundreds of civilian Palestinians.

Taking credit for the operation, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the bombing of Askalan with a barrage of rockets in response to the Zionist massacres against civilians.

Zionist occupation forces confirmed that warning sirens sounded on Friday in the city, while videos and photos circulated on social media showed the state of panic that took over settlers who stopped their cars in the streets following the rocket launch from Gaza.

This marks the second day that the Palestinian Resistance launched rockets toward occupied territories in response to the occupation restarting its war on Gaza, with the al-Qassam Brigades announcing yesterday a barrage of “Moqadama M90” rockets targeting Tel Aviv in retaliation for the massacres committed by the occupation against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Occupation forces admitted to tracking three rockets fired from Gaza toward central occupied Palestine, prompting alarm sirens in Tel Aviv, Gush Dan, and nearby settlements.

Palestinian and international human rights groups have repeatedly warned that the occupation’s actions amount to ethnic cleansing and a deliberate effort to make Gaza uninhabitable.

The Four Knights of Jenin


804826

March 20 and March 21, mark a time in which the homeland exalted the martyrdom of four fasting comrades—fighters who resisted on earth and broke their fast moments later in paradise. These four were fierce warriors, bringing the occupying entity to its knees in every clash.

On March 20, 2024, Mohammed Al-Fayed, Ahmed Barakat, and Mahmoud Al-Rahal ascended to martyrdom. A few hours later, on March 21st, their commander, Mohammed Hawashin “Abu Shadi,” succumbed to his wounds, joining his comrades in martyrdom.

Their Story :

Moments before sunset, four resistance fighters were on their way to break their fast, when the occupation forces suddenly bombed their vehicle on the outskirts of Jenin camp in a treacherous and cowardly assassination.

The enemy had failed to reach them in battle, so after months of pursuit, it resorted to an airstrike. But this was no victory for the occupation—it was a victory for the martyrs, who fulfilled their wish of ascending in the blessed month of Ramadan.

Mohammed Al-Fayed

The field commander of the Jenin Brigade, Mohammed Al-Fayed, was known for his kind heart and ever-smiling face that lit up the camp. Fierce and bold, his bursts of fire struck fear into the occupying forces. He was the brother of the martyr Mahmoud Al-Fayed, who fell in the early days of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 25—nearly five months before him.

Mohammed carried the banner forward, not just to avenge his brother, but to seek justice for the West Bank, Gaza, and all of Palestine. It was his wish to ascend to martyrdom in Ramadan, and God granted him his wish moments before Maghreb.

A simple man with a radiant soul, his dreams were modest: to liberate Al-Quds, to ride his bike with his friends, and to explore his homeland, as he says in Media 10. Now, the entire homeland has explored the life of Mohammed Al-Fayed, as his luminous smile ignited the spirit of the nation.

Ahmed Barakat

The chief of military operations for the Jenin Brigade, Ahmed Barakat was a fighter known for his courage, valor, and heroic operations that shook the occupation. “Abu Al-Hani” was a revolutionary fighter and a wanted resistance leader.

He lived by the words of George Habash: Our true comrades are there in the enemy’s prisons, and when they are released, you will see that. Indeed, we saw that with our own eyes through the heroism of Abu Al-Hani.

A former prisoner, he was released on February 20, 2023, after spending 11 months in captivity. But his struggle did not pause—upon release, he quickly rose through the ranks of the resistance. He played a key role in the Hermesh and Barta’a operations, which resulted in the killing of multiple settlers. It is worth noting that the Hermesh operation was executed with the martyr commander Islam Khamaysa, in the lands of Tulkarem during the occupation’s failed aggression of the city and its camps in 2023.

Though the occupation forces hunted him, it was he who pursued them. He once said: Jenin and its resistance will not be victorious except by a believer, and no one opposes it except a traitor.

After months of pursuit, the enemy failed to capture him—his assassination was only possible through the betrayal of a traitor. But in the end, it was Ahmed who was victorious, ascending as a martyr, with pride, honor, and dignity.

Mahmoud Al-Rahal

The silent fighter who battled in secrecy—unknown on earth but well-known in the heavens. He was also known as “Mario” and was a companion to the martyr commanders and founders, Jamil Al-Amouri and Dawood Zubeidi.
Mahmoud Al-Rahal fulfilled the pledge, honored his comrades, and reunited with them in paradise.

Mohammed Hawashin “Abu Shadi”
The commander-in-chief of the Jenin Brigade, Abu Shadi was a leader whose speeches echoed with defiance and sacrifice. He fought for every inch, every home, and every soul in the camp. As the General Commander, he inspired hundreds of fighters to remain steadfast and continue the path of resistance.

Abu Shadi believed deeply in national unity, considering it essential to the strength of the brigades and the liberation of Palestine. He ascended to martyrdom a few hours after his comrades, succumbing to his wounds.

This year, in 2025, his martyrdom anniversary coincides with the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him). In remembering him, we recall Abu Shadi’s speech on Al-Quds Day in 2023, when he honored Imam Ali, and the steadfast Axis of Resistance saying:

From Sana’a to Baghdad, from Beirut to Damascus, and from Tehran to Al-Quds, the crowds chant at the top of their voices: ‘The assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs in flight.‘ This year’s Al-Quds Day is a day that belongs to the martyrs of our brigades, those who carried the banner of those who came before them—the heroes of our steadfast camp, in all their diversity. It is a day when the descendants of Ali Al-Karrar strike the gates of Khaybar once again with their fists, declaring the beginning of the end of the temporary entity, a beast made of dust.

These are defining moments in our nation’s history, and we thank God for making us among its men, its fighters, and its mujahideen. These are historic moments in which the Axis of Resistance triumphs and asserts its presence, securing victory over the enemies of the nation. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution of the dear Muslim Iranian people and the declaration of the last Friday of Ramadan as International Al-Quds Day, we can now say that this day has become a tangible reality for achieving certain victories.

Despite the rush of Arab normalizers and the immense satanic power supporting the temporary zionist entity—from America, “the Great Satan”, and the forces of the West—the first signs of victory have begun to appear on the horizon at the hands of the fighters of this nation. We trust in God Almighty, we trust in the masses of the Islamic nation, and we trust in the Axis of Resistance and its fighters.

Thus, we declare in conclusion: that the dream of praying in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa is now closer than ever. And they ask you, When will it be? Perhaps it will be soon.”

Abu Shadi’s dream, like many of our martyrs, was to pray in Al-Quds, but perhaps they were rewarded with something greater; martyrdom.

They may have departed, but they live on within us—in every corner of Jenin, in every clash, and in every heart that beats with resistance.

Glory to them, and their blood will remain a torch lighting the path to freedom, never to be extinguished.

Yemeni Strike Sounds Sirens Across Central Zionist Occupied Cities


792829

Sirens sounded across central occupied Palestine, including in Tel Aviv and al-Quds, following a ballistic missile strike, originating from Yemen, Zionist media reported.

The sirens were sounded at 4:01 AM (local time), while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the Knesset, Zionist Channel 14 reported.

Netanyahu was reportedly escorted to a bomb shelter during the event. Countless other settlers also rushed to safe areas, where 13 were injured due to stampedes.

Furthermore, flights were diverted from the Ben Gurion Airport.

However, occupation forces said that the missile was intercepted over Saudi Arabia.

This marks the second strike attributed to the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) since the renewal of the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, which also coincides with renewed United States-led strikes on Yemen.

Later the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that Yemen’s Rocket Force fired a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile at the Ben Gurion Airport in response to the ongoing Zionist massacres against Palestinians.

He also mentioned that various branches of the YAF conducted coordinated attacks against the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and other vessels in the Red Sea.

US aggression on Yemen continues


On Wednesday evening, US warplanes launched fresh airstrikes on Yemen, targeting the capital Sanaa, and the provinces of Saada and al-Bayda.

The strikes hit areas near the Ministry of Communications and the Postal Authority in northern Sanaa.

In al-Bayda, US aircraft targeted the al-Sawadiyah district, while in Saada, airstrikes struck the outskirts of the city, the correspondent reported. According to Yemen’s SABA news agency, the US attack on the al-Thawra district in northern Sanaa hit an unfinished event hall within a residential neighborhood.

Overnight on Thursday, US airstrikes targeting various areas in Yemen renewed. Reports state that strikes targeted the Zabid district in the coastal Hodeidah governorate. Another set of strikes targeted the Saada governorate, our correspondent added.

Meanwhile, the YAF has engaged the US Navy, which is responsible for such attacks on Yemen, in intermittent battles, targeting Carrier Strike Group 8 on multiple occasions.

In his statement, Saree emphasized that the intensification of American air raids targeting Yemen will not stop Yemenis from supporting the Palestinian people. He reiterated that these operations will continue until the aggression on Palestinians is halted and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

"“This seems like one of the biggest threats, if not the biggest threats to First Amendment freedoms in 50 years,” said Brian Hauss, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union. “It’s a direct attempt to punish speech because of the viewpoint it espouses.”"

A Palestinian Theory of War

The war in Gaza and the genocide against the Palestinian people unleashed by the Zionist regime has been an earth shattering event in terms of its importance to both forces of reaction and revolution. I wrote an article last year for Al Mayadeen English titled “Time, Space, and the Will” where I explored these three concepts as integral components of guerrilla war

On the PFLP Martyr’s Day: We Renew Our Pledge to Continue Resistance Until Liberation and Return


740163

Keep going on the path toward the rising sun
To our steadfast people,

On the anniversary of the PFLP Martyr’s Day, we stand in reverence and honor before the sacrifices of the martyrs who, with their pure blood, forged an eternal heroic epic. At the forefront stands the distinguished leader, member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front, Comrade Mohammed Al-Aswad, “Guevara of Gaza,” alongside his comrades Abdel Hadi Al-Hayek and Kamel Al-Amsi, who embodied the highest values of heroism, inflicted heavy losses on the zionist enemy, and turned Gaza into a nightmare for the occupier. They reaffirmed that armed resistance is the most powerful response to occupation and aggression, becoming symbols of struggle and resistance against the oppressive occupation.

PFLP Martyr’s Day is a milestone in our struggle, a moment to renew our commitment and loyalty to all the martyrs who wrote our people’s history with their blood. At the forefront of these leaders are comrades George Habash,Abu Ali Mustafa,Ghassan Kanafani,Wadie Haddad,Guevara of Gaza,Abu Maher Al-Yamani, Mohammed Al-Yamani, Nidal Abdel Aal, Abu Ahmed Fouad, Awad Al-Sultan, Emad Odeh, Shadia Abu Ghazaleh, Taghreed Al-Batma, Basel Al-Kubaisi, Mohammed Saadat, Omar Al-Nayef, Walid Daqqa, Abu Amal, Khaled Abu Aisha, and many other comrades, leaders, and heroic fighters who remained true to their pledge until they fell as martyrs in the battle for freedom.

To our great people,
Today, amid a war of genocide and a massive zionist assault against our people, we affirm that resistance remains our only path in confronting aggression. Every attempt by the occupation to erase our identity and displace our people is doomed to fail. Experience has proven that the more the occupation intensifies its oppression, the stronger our people’s determination becomes, and the more resistance escalates.

From this standpoint, and on PFLP Martyr’s Day, we affirm the following:

1. Resistance is our only choice for liberation and return. Escalating confrontation and resistance in all its forms—especially armed struggle—is the only way to reclaim our national rights and thwart the occupation’s schemes aimed at liquidating our cause.

2. National unity is our strongest weapon. Mobilizing our ranks and unifying our people across all factions is an inevitable necessity to confront the zionist aggression and its elimination plans.

3. We call for the formation of a unified national leadership capable of managing the struggle against the occupation and its schemes within a comprehensive resistance strategy that utilizes all the potential of our people in confronting the enemy.

4. All zionist military pressure, including siege, starvation, bombardments, large-scale raids, and U.S.-backed political blackmail, will not break our people’s will. On the contrary, they will only strengthen our determination to resist and endure. Our people, who are facing zionist genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, will neither surrender nor succumb. They will continue their struggle until the aggression is defeated and all national rights are secured.

5. We call on Arab nations and free people around the world to escalate their movements and positions in support of our people, using all available means of pressure to stop the zionist war, lift the siege on Gaza, begin reconstruction, and end the ongoing zionist massacres against our people.

To our proud people,

The blood of the martyrs—foremost among them, Guevara of Gaza and his heroic comrades—will forever remain a torch lighting the path to freedom and return. We will never allow their sacrifices to be in vain. Resistance will continue to burn bright, and our people will never retreat from their journey until victory is achieved, the return is realized, and an independent democratic Palestinian state is established on our entire national soil, with Al-Quds as its capital.

Glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs
Glory to the resistance
Freedom for our prisoners
Speedy recovery for our wounded
We shall inevitably triumph

Abu Obeida Warns Zionists: Threats Won’t Free Captives or Break Us


725464

The military spokesperson of the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, affirmed on Thursday that Zionist threats of war will only result in disappointment for the occupying forces and will not lead to the release of its captives.

In a video speech published on his Telegram on the occasion of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, Abu Obeida stated, “We are in a state of readiness and prepared for all possibilities, and the resumption of war will make us shatter what remains of the enemy’s image.”

He emphasized that “what the enemy could not achieve through war will not be obtained through threats and tricks,” warning that any escalation of aggression against Palestinians would result in the death of several Zionist captives.

Addressing the Muslim community, Abu Obeida reminded the two billion Muslim” that the people of Gaza were facing “genocide, starvation, and attempts of displacement in full view of the world,” asking, “What will you do to defend your dignity before the hand of the oppressors reaches you in your own homes?”

Commitment to ceasefire agreement


Regarding the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, Abu Obeida explained that the commitment to the deal was out of respect for the pledges made by mediators from brotherly nations.

He accused the occupation of reneging on many of its obligations, which he described as basic rights of the Palestinian people, saying, “The enemy practiced bullying, procrastination, and arrogance, with a criminal and sadistic mindset nesting in the occupier’s brain across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the entire region.”

In his message to the Islamic nation, Abu Obeida stated, “Your brothers in faith have sanctified their fasting with a stream of pure blood,” adding that the Muslim world would not regain its status among nations until the holy land is cleansed of the occupiers’ defilement.

He called on all fair-minded individuals and human rights advocates to expose the crimes committed against Palestinian prisoners, highlighting the Western double standards that “weep over dozens of enemy captives while disregarding the safety of our prisoners.”

Abu Obeida saluted the Yemeni people for their continued decision to support and strike the Zionist enemy, as well as the steadfast resistance fighters in the West Bank and the heroes carrying out fida’i operations.

The occupation might resume Gaza genocide


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that his regime retains “the right at any moment from Day 42 to drop out of the negotiations and return to fighting if we are under the impression that the talks are pointless.”

He said he agrees with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who stated that Hamas and the occupation are too far apart to proceed to the second phase of negotiations, which, according to Netanyahu, jeopardizes the talks.

“There is a proposal in front of us. We are still in the agreement, we are not violating the agreement, but we are not returning immediately to war,” the Zionist premier indicated.

He further stated, “Who knows, we might need to,” adding that Witkoff offers a way to return all the captives from Gaza “in two releases.”

Addressing Hamas directly, Netanyahu warned, “If you do not release our hostages, there will be consequences that you can’t even imagine.”
