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

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

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.

Hamas: A Call for General Mobilization in Defense of Gaza, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

This is a message to the people

“Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew.”

A Call for General Mobilization in Defense of Gaza, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa

In light of the zionist occupation’s escalating brutal aggression and its perpetration of massacres against our people in the Gaza Strip, as well as its continued crimes in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque—with full American support and complete international silence—

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), call upon our people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world to rise up in a general mobilization this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, in defense of Gaza, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa; in support of our people’s steadfastness; and in rejection of the occupation’s crimes and those who support it.

We call for intensifying marches and solidarity events in all cities and capitals, making these blessed days of Ramadan days of full-scale mobilization. Use all means to pressure for an end to the killing, siege, and starvation. Support Gaza and heal its wounds, support Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa and strengthen their steadfastness, and expose the crimes of the occupation and the U.S. support behind them.

We call for the following:

First:
To our people in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and occupied Palestine:
Make your way to Al-Aqsa Mosque, remain steadfast and observe i’tikāf (spiritual retreat), confront the occupation and its settler mobs in all arenas, in support of Gaza, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa.

Second:
To our people of the occupied interior and in the diaspora on the occasion of Land Day (March 30):
Take to the streets in massive popular marches, rejecting policies of displacement and annexation, and affirming our right of return and liberation.

Third:
To the Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world:
Make the upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday days of rage and protest everywhere. Continue to pressure the occupation and its backers through mass demonstrations, besieging zionist and American embassies, and exposing the genocide committed against our people.

Fourth:
To the leaders and governments of the Arab and Islamic world:
Take up your historical responsibilities. Take a decisive stand to end the aggression, lift the siege on Gaza, and support the steadfastness of our people.

Fifth:
To mosque preachers and religious speakers:
Dedicate the upcoming Friday sermon to the issue of Palestine, Gaza, and Al-Quds. Urge the Ummah (nation) to support and stand with the Palestinian people, to enhance their resoluteness, their steadfastness on their land, and their defense of their land and holy sites.

Let the coming days be days of overwhelming anger everywhere against the occupation and its backers. Let this enemy and its supporters know that Palestine, Gaza, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa have brave men and free people who answer the call for support and solidarity, raising their voices and taking a united stand against the occupation and those aligned with it.

Let the actions and protests continue until the aggression ends and the siege is lifted.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)

PIJ Bombs Gaza Envelope, Settler Killed in Resistance Operation

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

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.

“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.

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.

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.

Abu Hamza: The Palestinian Hero and Hollywood Myths

Hollywood, backed by the United States, has always tried to craft the image of the invincible “superhero” through characters like Superman, Batman, and Captain America—figures meant to embody absolute power, protecting the world and saving the innocent.
In these films, the hero appears masked, possessing superhuman abilities, fighting “evil” in the name of justice. But what Hollywood never tells us is that this “hero” is part of a propaganda machine designed to promote America’s image as a force of absolute good, even as it arms and supports the occupation in killing innocent people.

In contrast, through the lens of reality, “Abu Hamza,” the spokesperson for Saraya Al-Quds, or the martyr Naji Abu Seif, emerged. After the mask was lifted, he appeared as a genuine Palestinian fighter, without cinematic effects or as a super-powered being, but with a determination stronger than fiction.

When the mask came off after his martyrdom, it did not reveal the face of a mythical hero manufactured in film studios. Instead, it was the face of a simple young man who lived among his people, fought for them, and was martyred carrying the cause of his homeland.

Similarly, Abu Obeida, spokesperson for Al-Qassam—and in fact all factions— appeared masked in such a way that, according to polls, their appearance carried a strength, anticipation, and breath-holding power greater than field operations. Indeed, a word from the masked man [Al-Mulatham] proved stronger than rockets.

For years, Western media has portrayed the Palestinian fighter as nothing more than a “terrorist” or an “outlaw,” while depicting the American or “israeli” soldier as a hero fighting for “freedom.” Yet the Palestinian has proven himself to be the rightful owner of the land and the true narrative. In contrast, their so-called heroes—products of paper and drama—have been exposed as cowards, oppressors, and enablers of crimes against humanity.

The reality was different when Abu Hamza’s face was revealed; it did not match the stereotypical image that had been imprinted in people’s minds. He was an ordinary young man with calm features—someone who could have been someone you know: a neighbor, a friend, a brother. But he chose the path of resistance, becoming the voice of the voiceless.

How many people imagined that behind the mask was a massive warrior with fierce features and a piercing gaze, as American action films portray their heroes? How many viewers assumed that a Palestinian fighter must be an emotionless beast? But when his face was unveiled, we saw eyes carrying the story of a captive defying his jailer, a heart beating with humanity for his people and comrades, and a gentle smile reminding the world that true heroes do not need superpowers to be immortalized in history.

As always, “israel” believes that by killing a person, it can end his cause. Yet it has not understood that Abu Hamza’s voice will not disappear. Instead, it will echo in the generations to come, carrying his cause forward. His voice was not merely a “military statement”—it was the heartbeat of the resistance, a symbol of the ordinary man who became a genuine legend, not because he possessed superpowers, but because he held faith and resilience in the face of the occupation.
Unlike Hollywood, where heroes are designed in script rooms and brought to life by actors on camera, Abu Hamza emerged from the battlefield itself—from the streets and alleys of Gaza, from the rubble of destroyed homes. He needed no super suit or extraordinary abilities—only an unbreakable will and steadfast determination that made him a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

If “Superman” was created as a model of American power, then Abu Hamza was the embodiment of the strength of the ordinary Palestinian, who does not need visual effects or fictional narratives to forge his legacy.

He was real in every sense of the word—fighting on the ground, protecting his people, and speaking to the world with a voice that “israel” could not silence, even after his martyrdom.

In the end, Abu Hamza will not just be another name on the list of Palestinian martyrs. He will remain a timeless symbol, inspiring future generations and reminding the world of the truth of this struggle. The mask may have fallen, but the man did not, nor did his cause.

If the occupation believes it can end the story by assassinating him, it has yet to realize that true stories do not end with death—they begin with it. This figure’s symbolism lies in its survival and permanence, just as the artist Naji Al-Ali has become a model.

Today, Palestinians lift their masks to tell the world: “We are not cinematic characters. We are not superheroes born in Hollywood studios. This is our real life, this is our struggle, and this is our strength in the face of occupation.”

Has “israel” understood the message?

Abu Hamza will reappear once again—not with visual or sound effects—but he himself, with his own voice, his own eyes, his real mask, and a black headband embroidered with “Saraya Al-Quds,” his right hand waving with a powerful promise. At that moment, the truth will be undeniable: the schools of history have written the Palestinian to remain standing tall with honor despite all attempts at erasure.

No matter how hard the occupation may try to erase the face, it forgets that the Palestinian lineage is deeply rooted and ever-extending, and that the Palestinian womb gives birth only to heroes.

At that moment, rub your eyes well and be certain: heroism is originally, linguistically Palestinian.

Your sun will never set, Abu Hamza

Yemeni Strike Sounds Sirens Across Central Zionist Occupied Cities

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.

Hamas has Rebuilt Forces to Over 25,000 Fighters

A group of Zionist Knesset members (MKs) said on 16 March that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have “restored their military strength” in Gaza and that the occupatiuon military has failed to achieve its war goals amid stalled ceasefire negotiations, Zionist newspaper Walla reported.

“In recent days, we have been informed that the military strength of Hamas and Islamic Jihad has been restored, such that Hamas has over 25,000 and Islamic Jihad has over 5,000 armed terrorists,” stated the Knesset members.

The MKs, including opposition members of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, made the claim in a petition they sent calling for an urgent committee hearing with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and War Minister Israel Katz.

A committee hearing is necessary due to the “failure to achieve the war’s goals and the harm to security and national interests.”

MKs Gadi Eisenkot, Ram Ben Barak, Meir Cohen, Elazar Stern, Moshe Tor Paz, Sharon Nir, and Merv Michaeli signed the petition.

“In the past month, the ‘Israeli’ government has not fulfilled its responsibility as the supreme commander of the IDF, and is not advancing the war goals of returning the kidnapped and destroying Hamas’ military and governmental power,” the petition stated.

The MKs further claimed that Netanyahu and his ministers are acting in violation of war cabinet decisions to “realize the goal of returning the abductees” and to immediately conscript ultra-Orthodox Jewish men studying the Torah in religious schools known as Yeshivas.

Efforts to exchange Zionist captives in Gaza for Palestinians in occupation prisons have stalled in recent weeks, with the regime refusing to move to the next phase of a ceasefire agreement reached with the Palestinian resistance in January.

Late on Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Zionist negotiators to continue the negotiations based on a proposal by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that calls for the “immediate release of 11 living hostages and half of the deceased hostages.”

Earlier, Hamas said it was ready to accept a previous proposal from US envoy Adam Boehler, which called for the release of a living Zionist-US soldier, Edan Alexander, along with the bodies of four other dual-US citizens in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

After Boehler held direct talks with Hamas officials, occupation leaders became angry, and President Donald Trump removed him from his position.

Hamas is seeking a permanent end to the war, a complete Zionist withdrawal from Gaza, the reopening of border crossings for aid, and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The regime is seeking to extend the first phase until mid-April and insists that any transition to the second phase must include “the total demilitarization” of Gaza.

Despite the existing ceasefire, the Zionist military continues to conduct near-daily air strikes in Gaza.

On Saturday, Zionist airstrikes in the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza killed nine people, including aid workers and Palestinian journalists. Four young Palestinian boys were killed by an Israeli drone strike while scavenging for firewood on Friday.

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

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

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.”

Palestinian Factions React to Haifa Operation

Palestinian factions on Monday reacted to the stabbing operation at the central bus station in occupied Haifa, which resulted in the killing of a settler and multiple injuries.

Hamas described the attack as a natural response to Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and al-Quds, the ongoing blockade on Gaza, Zionist plans to depopulate the Jordan Valley, and continued violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The group affirmed that the “Resistance will continue until the demise of the occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital.”

It called on Palestinians in the West Bank, al-Quds, and the territories occupied in 1948 to intensify confrontations with the occupation and engage in all possible forms of resistance, particularly during the month of Ramadan.

Zionist security failures

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement also emphasized that the Haifa operation was a natural response to ongoing Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people and a reaffirmation of Palestinians’ commitment to their land and the path of resistance.

The PIJ stated that the Palestinian people’s persistence in retaliating against Zionist aggression underscores the failure of the regime’s security apparatus to achieve its so-called security.

It added that Israeli military operations serve no purpose other than repression, abuse, and massacres.

Calls for intensified confrontations

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Resistance Committees described the Haifa operation as a natural response from a people facing starvation and genocide at the hands of the “Zionist-American enemy,” which seeks to uproot and displace them from their homeland.

The Resistance Committees called on Palestinians and Resistance fighters to remain steadfast, intensify confrontations, and step up resistance operations inside occupied territories to strip settlers of any sense of security until liberation and return are achieved.

Additionally, the al-Mujahideen Movement in Palestine stated that the latest operation dealt another security blow to the Zionist intelligence and security services, reaffirming that there is no safe place for Zionists in Palestine.

The movement saluted Palestinian Resistance fighters confronting oppression and arrogance, urging them to step up top-tier operations deep inside the occupation entity.

PFLP-GC reacts

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command congratulates the heroic stabbing operation that was carried out at a bus stop near a shopping mall in Haifa, which led to the death of a settler and the injury of others. We mourn the heroic perpetrator, and we affirm that the crimes of the occupation and its aggression against Gaza and the West Bank will not go unpunished and will not weaken the resolve of our people and their resistance.

The Front also affirms that all the criminal projects of the Zionist enemy, and its attempts to subjugate our Palestinian people, or break their will to resist, or displace them from their land and homes; will be shattered in the face of the will and bravery of this people and their valiant resistance, and their free and proud youth.

We highly value the jihad and resistance of our youth in the occupied West Bank, and we call on our people to escalate the resistance and confront the Zionist attack, confuse the occupier and thwart his plans, and let them know that there is no safety for them and their settler gangs except by leaving our land and our holy sites.

It is a revolution until the liberation of the land and the people

PFLP, PFLP-GC, DFLP Address US, Zionist Aid Prevention

PFLP: The occupation’s decision to close the Gaza Strip crossings and prevent the entry of aid is a war crime with direct American participation

• The decision of the Zionist occupation to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid, close all crossings into the Gaza Strip, and return trucks loaded with humanitarian supplies is a flagrant war crime committed against our Palestinian people, with direct American participation.

• This decision constitutes a blatant breach of the ceasefire and reveals the occupation’s intention to blackmail and evade entering the second phase, which requires it to stop the war, withdraw completely, begin reconstruction, and restore life to Gaza.

• This criminal occupation has not been satisfied with the policy of killing, destruction, breaching the ceasefire, and targeting safe civilians, even in areas classified as safe. Rather, it continues to use the weapon of starvation as a systematic tool of pressure and blackmail against our people, taking advantage of the American green light to continue this criminal policy.

• The Front warns of the serious repercussions of this decision on the already deteriorating humanitarian situation, which has not seen any improvement even after the ceasefire decision, which exacerbates the suffering of our people in the besieged Strip.

• The new US administration headed by Trump is completing what the previous administration started in financing the war of extermination and legislating occupation policies, but in a broad and direct manner, including the use of starvation as a weapon against our people in flagrant violation of all international laws and norms.

• The Front calls on the international community and Arab leaders at their upcoming summit to take practical and immediate steps to pressure the Zionist occupation and the American administration to stop this humanitarian massacre that targets an entire people suffering under genocide, siege and starvation.

• It also calls on merchants and suppliers to assume their national responsibilities by not raising prices and ensuring the availability of basic commodities at reasonable prices to support and enhance the steadfastness of citizens in the face of the repercussions of the closure. It also stresses the need for tightening control by the competent authorities to prevent monopoly and ensure the arrival of goods at reduced prices, to alleviate the suffering of our people in light of the siege and systematic starvation, which will worsen with the occupation’s decision.

• The Front affirms that this decision will not succeed in breaking the will, steadfastness and determination of our Palestinian people, and that all the criminal methods of the occupation and the full American support will not deter our people from continuing their legitimate struggle until they achieve their full national rights.

Press release issued by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command

▪️The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command denounces the unjust Zionist decision against our people to close the crossings leading to the Gaza Strip, which will exacerbate the deteriorating humanitarian situation. The Front considers the enemy’s use of pressure through the humanitarian file to extract prices from the resistance a cheap barter through which the enemy violates international humanitarian law. The Front affirms that the policy of systematic Nazi terrorism will fail again, just as the enemy failed during the war of extermination and ethnic cleansing by applying pressure through committing mass massacres, starvation and forced displacement, and its illusions will be shattered in the face of our people’s steadfastness and belief in the justice of their cause and their inevitable victory.

▪️The occupation’s denial of its obligations in the Al-Aqsa Flood Deal, its disruption of the humanitarian protocol therein, and the closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid are the responsibility of the enemy and the United States behind it, and the mediators must pressure the occupation to fulfill its obligations.

▪️We highly value with all meanings of pride and honor the heroic Yemeni stance of our brothers in blood and arms, the Ansar Allah, by violating all the occupied land within the range of the Yemeni armed forces’ fire in the event that the enemy resumes its barbaric Nazi war.

▪️We call on the free people of the world, especially the peoples of our Arab and Islamic nation, to move in support of our oppressed people who have been and continue to be subjected to the most heinous racist attack witnessed in contemporary history.

▪️Our Palestinian people, like all peoples yearning for freedom, will not and will not budge from their principles and will continue their struggle until the liberation of their land and holy sites and the declaration of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

It is a revolution until the liberation of the land and the people

Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

▪️ The decision of the Israeli occupation government to close the crossings and prevent food and fuel aid from entering the Gaza Strip is considered an insistence on the war of starvation waged by the occupation government against our Palestinian people, which will lead to an exacerbation of the already deteriorating humanitarian conditions.

▪️ This decision is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement and reveals Netanyahu’s intention to evade the demands of moving to the second phase of the agreement, which includes an end to the war and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

▪️ We call on the mediators and the international community to put pressure on the occupation government to force it to back down from its unjust decision, which is a violation of the right of citizens to obtain their daily bread and an encroachment on the ceasefire agreement.

▪️ We call on traders and suppliers of goods to assume their national and social responsibilities by not raising prices and supporting our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

▪️ We also call on the competent authorities and the people’s committees of the sector to monitor prices in the markets and take strict measures against monopolists, so as to strengthen the steadfastness of our people.

Zionist Regime Suffered ‘Historic, Unprecedented’ Failure on Oct 7 Attack

All Zionist military formations suffered a “historic and unprecedented” failure in repelling the Palestinian Resistance’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, as their preparedness was deemed “zero”, an investigation conducted by the Zionist military, the findings of which were published on Thursday, revealed.

The regime’s Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) failed to understand Hamas for years, the probe highlighted.

The occupationnewspaper Maariv cited senior military officials as saying that “the failure has historical dimensions and requires study for generations.” A high-ranking source added that the investigations do not provide reassuring explanations.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas successfully struck the regimes military’s command and control within the first minutes of its multifaceted operation, which involved land, air, and sea assaults.

Zionist media reported that most field commanders—ranging from platoon and company leaders to battalion commanders—were killed at the outset of the attack, including three brigade commanders.

The military’s investigations pointed to a complete lack of preparedness across all formations, including the collapse of intelligence from both Aman and the Shin Bet, highlighting that the military’s Gaza Division “was defeated within the first two hours of the operation.”

According to Maariv, the military has conducted 77 investigations into the war, divided into five categories: general assessments of Hamas’ operational framework, intelligence failures, decision-making on the night of October 6–7, the military’s response to the attack, and battle-specific inquiries.

At the core of these investigations lies the central question: How did the regime find itself under such a deadly attack without any of its intelligence formations providing a warning? How did the occupation allow the Palestinian Resistance to “grow and develop just meters from ‘Israeli’ settlements along the border”?

Hamas planned the operation for over a decade

Maariv also revealed that Hamas had been planning the operation for more than a decade. Zionist military investigations indicate that the main catalyst for the regime’s collapse on October 7 was the 2021 so-called “Guardian of the Walls” operation, after which Hamas began to recognize its ability to defeat the occupation.

According to the newspaper, Hamas worked on multiple levels, with a particular focus on building its capabilities to execute its strategic operational plan. Simultaneously, the Palestinian group initiated a deception scheme that occupation military officials describe as one of the largest in military history.

The military’s investigations further revealed that Hamas was on the verge of executing its operation twice before October 7 but called it off at the last minute: first in October 2022 and again in April 2023 during the Jewish Passover holiday.

On both previous occasions—as well as on October 7 itself—both Aman and Shin Bet failed to anticipate the attack or issue a warning about it.

The newspaper stressed that for an entire decade, both Zionist military and political leaders believed Hamas was deterred and shifting toward a settlement, whereas, in reality, Hamas’ leadership—under Yahya Sinwar and his team—was preparing for the October 7 operation.

The investigations described the regime as “blind” on multiple levels—political, military, and intelligence—having failed to anticipate the attack and suffering from a persistent gap in understanding reality.

They also identified at least 10 signs over the years that could have indicated the occupations misjudgment, yet they were ignored.

“Zionist blindness”, the investigations clarified, was rooted in an organizational culture that had become deeply entrenched across the entire security establishment in recent years.

Within the military and at the political level, no one challenged decisions from higher ranks, creating a distorted reality in which, even when unusual intelligence surfaced, analysts within Aman and Shin Bet sought to justify existing assumptions about Hamas’ intentions rather than question them.

The investigations also pointed to a problematic “intelligence culture” that operated on the assumption that “‘Israel’ knew” everything, rather than questioning whether there were fundamental gaps in its understanding.

The newspaper noted that within the Zionist military, there is a consensus that the investigations are difficult and that the military has much to learn and rectify.

However, senior officers believe the investigations must be taken a step further—through the establishment of a formal commission of inquiry to examine the failures of October 7 and everything that preceded it.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah died for Gaza

A bottle of soil from Al-Aqsa Mosque was set to be buried with Hezbollah’s late Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. While nearly the entire world stood by and watched the Zionist entity commit the first live-streamed genocide, the Lebanese leader refused to let the people of Gaza die alone, even if that meant he would be taken with them.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah transcended the traditional role of a leader, he represented hope, provided a sense of moral guidance, and offered shrewd political analysis, and when he spoke, everybody listened; whether friend or foe. On the issue of Palestine in particular, he was perhaps the most significant leader in the Arab world, why? Because he was the man who led the first-ever Arab victory over the Zionist regime, expelling them from South Lebanon in 2000, and greatly outwitting them during the 2006 war.

In October of 2023, Sayyed Nasrallah delivered his first speech during the Gaza genocide. In that address, he pledged that the movement he commanded, Hezbollah, would never abandon the people of Gaza, no matter where it took the region. Although he did not commit to war, he set one red line and made a pledge: “Hamas will win!”

In a recent press conference, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan recounted a conversation between the late Hezbollah Secretary-General and leaders of the Palestinian group, stating that Hamas did not request anything from Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Yet, the Hezbollah leader took the decision to immediately open a support front against the Israelis, which began on October 8 when the group fired upon Zionist military positions in the illegally occupied Sheba’a Farms area.

Hezbollah would go on to sacrifice hundreds of its men in thousands of operations targeting Israeli military positions and settlements, all of whom were given the title of martyrs “on the path to al-Quds”. Although his Israeli enemies would go on to commit civilian massacres and assassinations in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, with war seeming inevitable, Sayyed Nasrallah refused to capitulate.

In a speech 100 days into the Gaza genocide and as the fighting was intensifying on the Lebanese front, he remarked that “we fear nothing and will fight without limits and without borders,” in response to the Zionist regime’s threats. His conditions were always clear, Hezbollah does not stop firing until there is a durable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Throughout his life, he never backed down from supporting the Palestinian cause, providing weapons and expertise to all Palestinian groups, and helping to devise a unified strategy in order to launch a unity of fronts against the Israeli occupation.

Even down to his very last speech – which was delivered right after the Israelis launched their terrorist booby-trapped pager attack on Lebanon that killed and injured thousands, many of whom were civilians – he made the promise that Hezbollah will never abandon Gaza and will fight for the people of Palestine no matter the costs, no matter where the region heads.

Nasrallah also repeatedly imparted wisdom onto the Arab regimes that stood idly by as the atrocities were being carried out against the people of the Gaza Strip, asking them how they could watch and not act. He extended this question to the entire Arab and Muslim World, asking how it was possible for the people to go about their business as usual when Gaza was suffering so horrifically.

He also stressed that if the Arab world did nothing, the Zionist entity would expand its territorial control into their nations and would not stop only at their plan to ethnically cleanse Palestine. Now, as the Arab nations scramble to put together a plan that can offset the proposals of US President Donald Trump to commit a mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza, his words have more relevance than ever before. Indeed, the Zionists now occupy southern Syria, threaten Jordanian sovereignty as Sayyed Nasrallah had warned, and are even making threats against Egypt.

In the end, the main reason that the Zionist entity provided – for their decision to assassinate Sayyed Nasrallah by dropping multiple 2,000-pound bunker-busting munitions that ultimately took down a collection of civilian buildings in southern Beirut – was that he could not be convinced to abandon Gaza.

In 2006, Sayyed Nasrallah’s iconic speech in southern Lebanon – following the war – dedicated perhaps its most powerful segment to the Palestinian people, urging them to continue their path of resistance and stressing that just like the people of Lebanon, they too could achieve their liberation.

A Palestinian woman, who is from Gaza and whose identity will be hidden for security purposes, told me on the day that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom was announced:

“His father had a dream, and in that dream, Prophet Muhammed – peace and blessings upon him – told him his son’s name was Hassan. He woke up that morning and told his wife, good morning Um Hassan (mother of Hassan), before he was even born, that’s how he was named. Allah gave us Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, so he can never be taken away. He told us, he was going to pray at Masjid al-Aqsa… He can’t be gone now, you will see, he’s alive, you will see.”

This is just a sample of what Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah meant to so many Palestinians, some of whom could not even accept his passing and still can’t properly comprehend it. In a world of darkness, death, and confusion, amid the genocide, there were Palestinians who had held back tears upon the announcement that their own friends and family were killed but broke down into tears over Sayyed Nasrallah.

Nasrallah lost his own son – who was martyred in a battle – along with many other members of his extended family, and in the end, he sacrificed his life for the suffering people of Palestine. He may have not been able to pray at Masjid al-Aqsa as he once told interviewers he believed he would, but as was recently announced by Hussein Fadlallah, who heads the committee organizing Sayyed Nasrallah’s funeral, a Jerusalemite managed to send a bottle of soil from Al-Aqsa, which was set to be buried with him.

As for Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s pledge that “Hamas will win,” a ceasefire/prisoner exchange was finally declared on January 19, after which the Palestinian political party emerged displaying the signs of victory.

While in the West Hezbollah is described as a “terrorist organisation”, their media and governments fail to comprehend what Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah truly represented to the people who supported him. Sayyed Nasrallah was not just the leader of an armed group, in fact, the support for him had little to do with the military organization he commanded. He was loved and trusted as a symbol of hope, a shining light that with his powerful speeches inspired the people when they most needed it, a symbol of reliability.

Sayyed Nasrallah was also a symbol of pride for a people who had been disposed of, turned into refugees, lost their loved ones, lost their homes, lost all worldly possessions and/or were humiliated physically by their oppressor. The Arab people are treated by the media and governments of the collective West as subhumans, and their lives aren’t afforded worth, they are a people spoken down to as if they are intellectually inferior and incapable of deciding their own destiny. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah gave the people a reason to feel pride in themselves. As the age-old idiom goes, the pen is mightier than the sword, and so too is the spoken word stronger than any missile.

Gaza Resistance Releases Six Zionist Captives in Seventh Exchange

The Palestinian Resistance was to hand over Saturday six Zionist captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), marking the seventh batch in the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

On Friday, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades, identified the captives set to be released as Eliya Cohen, Omar Shem Tov, Omer Wenkert, Tal Shoham, Avera Mengistu, and Hisham al-Sayed.

The first handover took place in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, where the Resistance raised a banner at the exchange site reading, “We Are The Flood… We Are The Extreme Might.”

During the exchange in Rafah, hundreds of fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades, deployed throughout the area where the captives were released.

The handover of Tal Shoham and Mengistu took place today for the first time in the city of Rafah, just “a stone’s throw” away from the Israeli military’s presence.

Reports state that the Resistance placed six pieces of Zionist weapons on the platform, which were seized by the al-Qassam Brigades during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The occupation military confirmed that Shoham and Mengistu had reached the entity after being escorted out of the Gaza Strip by special Zionist forces.

As for the second handover, it took place in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, where the Resistance raised another banner reading: “The Land Distinguishes Its People From The Dual Nationality Foreigners.”

The handover saw the Resistance releasing Shem Tov, Cohen, and Wenkert. Later, the Zionist military said the ICRC received captive Hisham al-Sayed in Gaza City.

In exchange for the release of the Zionist captives, the Zionist authorities will release 50 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, 60 prisoners serving long-term sentences, and 47 prisoners who were freed as part of the “Wafa al-Ahrar” exchange deal but were re-arrested by the occupation forces.

Additionally, 445 detainees from the Gaza Strip, who were abducted after October 7, 2023, will also be released today, according to the Prisoners’ Information Office.

Our correspondent said that in Ofer prison, Palestinian prisoners and detainees who are to be released are being gathered, most of whom will be transferred to the Gaza Strip.

She added that Zionist military reinforcements have been deployed inside and outside the prison.

Last night, the occupation forces raided the homes of a number of detainees in the West Bank who are to be released today.

Hamas handed over body of Zionist captive Shiri Bibas after mix-up

In a related context, Zionist media reported Saturday that Hamas handed over the body of detainee Shiri Bibas, after mistakenly delivering an unidentified body due to confusion between the corpses.

Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Bibas was captured on October 7, 2023, confirmed Saturday her death following an identification process at the forensic institute.

The ICRC had announced receiving the remains from Hamas and transferring them to Zionist authorities, according to the ‘Israeli’ Broadcasting Corporation (KAN).

The remains were transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute where they were examined, KAN said.

The Zionist news site Walla reported that “‘Israeli’ assessments suggest that Hamas did not intentionally withhold Bibas’ body, but mistakenly delivered another body.”

The Zionist military said on Friday that one of the bodies received during the Thursday exchange did not belong to detainee Shiri Bibas.

Later, Hamas confirmed that it had received the occupation’s claims through mediators, adding that it will examine these claims thoroughly and will announce the results clearly.

The Palestinian group noted the possibility of an “error” or “confusion” between the bodies, which may have resulted from the occupation military’s targeting and bombing of the location where the Bibas family was with other Palestinians.

Hamas says guarantee for completing upcoming exchanges is regime’s commitment

Additionally, Hamas stated Saturday that the Palestinian Resistance’s accomplishment of exchanging six captives today reaffirms its commitment to the agreement, while the occupation continues to delay its implementation.

The group highlighted that “the handover, in this national scene, reflects the unity of our people and factions, while the occupation is experiencing fragmentation and mutual accusations.”

It also emphasized its readiness to move to the second phase of the agreement and its preparedness to complete the comprehensive exchange process, ensuring a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, warning against any Zionist attempts to renege on the agreement.

On his part, Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif al-Qanoua stressed that the Resistance will continue to complete the exchange operations and compel the occupation to implement the remaining terms of the agreement, clarifying that the guarantee for completing the upcoming exchange operations is the regime’s commitment to the remaining provisions of the agreement and the implementation of the humanitarian protocol.

He mentioned that 33 days have passed in the first phase without the occupation completing all its terms, pointing out that the situation in Gaza is “catastrophic”, which requires mediators to pressure the regime to implement the humanitarian protocol and provide residents with the necessary supplies for shelter and relief.

Al-Qanoua reiterated that Hamas is ready to complete a broad and comprehensive exchange process, all in one batch, based on a permanent cessation of the war, the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, and the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave.

Meanwhile, Hazem Qassem, another Hamas spokesperson, stressed that the reconstruction of Gaza must be carried out through national consensus, affirming that the Resistance will not allow any external force to interfere in this matter.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Revolutionary Who Fought For The Oppressed

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a revolutionary who, until his last breath, fought to liberate the oppressed who fought for freedom, for justice, and for dignity.

What can be said about our beloved leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the revolutionary, visionary, and iconic leader who held a highly revered status among his people?

A man who, through his words and actions, became an inspiration to the oppressed across the globe, a man whose honor, morality, integrity, deep compassion, and empathy shone like a beacon of light in an increasingly dark and evil world.

How many heroes have we lost, too many, too soon, and too young?

The fascist and racist Zionist cabal that infests Palestine brutally assassinated Sayyed Nasrallah. His martyrdom stood as a testament to his unwavering support for justice for the oppressed.

He was martyred in the service of his people, for the liberation of others, with him being a soldier on the battlefield, a warrior in an eternal struggle of right vs. wrong, just vs. unjust, and morality vs. immorality. Faced with occupation, he chose freedom, he took a stance to make a difference, struggling with every fiber of his being to end tyranny and to bring peace to the world through the strength of his character.

This is how I remember Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. He has taken his place among the legion of fallen martyrs stretching from Lebanon through Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Ireland, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Sayyed Nasrallah, like Che Guevara, Allende, Patrice Lumumba, Chavez, Mandela, Connolly, and Gandhi, lives on in the hearts of all those who rail against injustice, the enslavement of people, and the inequality shown through corrupt practices of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism.

The movement, led by Sayyed Nasrallah, was a reaction to the Zionist occupation of his country, the colonial occupation of Palestine, and Western hegemonic interference in West Asia.

Sayyed Nasrallah became the hero, fighter, and liberator he was under the harsh conditions imposed upon him and his country.

He is not just a huge loss to his family, community, nation, and region; he is an irreplaceable loss to the Axis of Resistance, his global comrades, and humanity.

I mourn his passing but take solace in knowing he was martyred as he lived, leading the battle to liberate the world from evil and end people’s suffering.

He died in the fight against fascism. He died in the fight for humanity. He died for freedom. He died for justice. He died for you, and he died for me.

“Without dignity, there is no liberty, without justice, there is no dignity, and without independence, there are no free men,” Patrice Lumumba once said.

“So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

I will miss his intellect, humor, humility, compassion, and empathy for the oppressed, the marginalized, the isolated, the downtrodden, the poor, and the occupied.

Most of all, I miss his speeches. His words defied the empire, shook the imperialist centers of power to their very core, and embodied the voice of resistance for all to hear.

My hero is this eternal legend who is Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whom we may not see his like again.

We loved his wisdom, and we shall honor his legacy.

Even in death, his vision to liberate West Asia from foreign interlopers may yet come to pass. That would be our inheritance, a world that he envisaged as one of peace and justice, thus being worth struggling for.

Gaza Resistance Releases Six Zionist Captives in Seventh Exchange

The Palestinian Resistance was to hand over Saturday six Zionist captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), marking the seventh batch in the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

Palestinian Resistance Hands Over Bodies of Detainees

On Tuesday, Palestinian Resistance factions handed over the bodies of four captives in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, to the International Red Cross, marking the first part of today’s exchange deal.

The Red Cross delegate signed for the bodies of the Zionist captives upon their arrival at the delivery platform in Bani Suheila.

Hundreds of Resistance fighters from the military wings of Palestinian factions took part in the ceremony to hand over the bodies of the four occupation captives east of Khan Younis. Meanwhile, occupation media reported that “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu withdrew his participation in the ceremony to receive the bodies of the four Israeli captives.”

Reports state that the commander of the Eastern Battalion of the al-Qassam Brigades in Khan Younis was also present at the Khan Younis ceremony.

Our correspondent further added that “Resistance fighters involved in the October 7 battles are present at the handover,” noting that “fighters from the al-Zana ambush of the al-Qassam Brigades, including one injured in a wheelchair, are participating in the process.” He noted that “al-Qassam published the names of groups that fought in the Gaza envelope, including the Orim group, the 8200 site group, and the intervention site group.”

He also reported that “a black car, belonging to the Shadow Unit and captured by the Resistance during the Battle of Al Aqsa Flood, was present at the ceremony to hand over the bodies.”



Zionist media reported that “the commanders of the eastern and northern battalions in the Khan Younis Brigade, whom the army claimed to have killed, are participating in the process of handing over the bodies of the prisoners.”

An occupation media platform reported that “Hamas displayed, during the handover of the bodies of four ‘Israeli’ captives, ‘Israeli’ weapons that it had seized in the battles in Gaza.” It added that Hamas “set up a platform and a large banner in Khan Younis accusing Netanyahu of killing the four ‘Israeli’ prisoners they handed over today.”

The banner read in response to the Zionist Prison Service’s actions in the last exchange deal, “We will not forgive or forget; the flood was our day.”



On Wednesday, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida stated that the bodies of the Bibas family and the remains of captive Oded Lifshitz would be handed over, emphasizing that they were all alive before Israeli military aircraft deliberately bombed their locations in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the military spokesperson for the al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, Abu Hamza, announced the decision to release the remains of Lifshitz, also asserting that Zionist forces intentionally killed him during the war on Gaza.

This exchange is also significant because fighters from seveal Resistance factions participated. The Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, Mujahideen Brigades, Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, and National Resistance Brigades (Omar Al-Qasim Forces) released media documenting their participation in the handover of the bodies earlier today.

Hamas: We saved the lives of the occupation captives, but their army killed them

At the same time, Hamas confirmed that the al-Qassam Brigades and the resistance “were careful, during the ceremony of handing over the bodies of the prisoners, to respect the sanctity of the dead and the feelings of their families, despite the occupation army not respecting their lives while they were alive.”

Hamas added, “We preserved the lives of the Zionist captives, provided them with what we could, and treated them humanely, but their army killed them along with their captors.”

The movement emphasized that “the Zionist enemy army killed its prisoners by bombing their detention centers, and the Nazi occupation government bears full responsibility for repeatedly obstructing the exchange agreement.”



Hamas stated: “The criminal Netanyahu is crying today over the bodies of his prisoners who returned to him in coffins, in a blatant attempt to evade responsibility for their killing before his supporters.”

The movement stressed that “the exchange is the only way to return the prisoners alive to their families, and any attempt to retrieve them by military force or return to war will only result in more losses among the prisoners.”

The exchange process will be completed next Saturday.



This phase is expected to conclude with the release of six living Zionist captives next Saturday, while the occupation is set to free over 600 Palestinian prisoners in return. This includes 50 prisoners serving life and long sentences, 47 who were released in the “Shalit deal” and later re-arrested, and 445 male and female prisoners detained during the Gaza war.

Hamas to release Zionist captives

The head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, announced on Tuesday that the Palestinian Resistance will hand over the bodies of four Israeli captives today, including the remains of the Bibas family.

In return, the occupation is set to release several Palestinian detainees on Saturday, following the ceasefire agreement.

In a speech, al-Hayya stated that the handover of the remaining captives’ bodies, as agreed upon in the first phase of the deal, will be completed in the sixth week since the agreement came into effect on January 19, 2025.



It is worth noting that the first phase of the agreement, which ends on March 1, includes the release of 33 Zionist captives, comprising 25 living and eight deceased, according to Hamas officials. In return, the occupation will release over a thousand Palestinian prisoners, including several hundred serving life and prolonged sentences.

Refugees’ Return to Northern Gaza Sets Blueprint for Return to ’48 Territories

Hamas’ success in reversing the ethnic cleansing of the northern Gaza Strip has established a precedent for conditioning future ceasefires on the Right of Return.

“Israel’s” 14-month assault on the Gaza Strip has arguably been the lowest point in its 76-year existence. In the mind of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet of crazed fascists, the October 7th attacks of 2023 provided a golden opportunity, perhaps even the last, to permanently expel the territory’s 2.4 million inhabitants and pave the way for resumed illegal settlement.

Throughout the entirety of 2024, the region was set ablaze on the altar of Netanyahu’s personal political survival. To escape accountability for his failure to avert October 7, the Prime Minister intentionally sabotaged all efforts at diplomacy, with the connivance of the Biden administration. This saw the war regionalize as it spilled over to the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. For the political interests of a single man, Washington willingly doused what remained of its fictional “rules-based global order” and advocacy of human rights and lit the match. In allowing this, it permitted its regional attack dog to inflict unprecedented, perhaps irreversible financial and social injury to itself.

Despite continuous emphasis being placed on a “two-state solution,” the continuing displacement of Palestinians from the Nakba and the creation of “Israel” in 1947-1949 remains the ultimate root of the conflict.

Throughout the course of that period, Zionist paramilitaries, gangs, and terrorist groups who would later form the basis of the regime’s armed forces systematically depopulated around 500 towns and villages within pre-1948 Mandate Palestine. This was primarily accomplished through massacres in selected townships, such as Deir Yassin, al-Lidd, and Tantura, and poisoning of wells and vital water sources. The resulting exodus of 700,000 led to the foundation of refugee camps in neighboring Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and most crucially the West Bank and Gaza Strip where their descendants comprise most of the population.

Israeli claims that refugees left “voluntarily” due to the state of war at the time have rung hollow ever since, as it has never recognized nor implemented their right to return. The international community enshrined that right in UN Resolution 3236 in 1974 and reaffirmed it in the General Assembly every year since.

It is in this context that “Israel’s” campaign to ethnically cleanse the northern Gaza Strip, known as “the Generals’ Plan,” must be viewed. As we have seen through the devastation of Gaza City, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and others, the intent was to make the region impossible to return to.

Not only have the terms of the ceasefire of January 19 erased the occupation’s gains over the last year, they have also introduced the kind of precedent that could end the entire Zionist project much faster than anyone has recently anticipated.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, the original sites of most Palestinian towns destroyed in the original Nakba are currently empty of inhabitants. In the course of the four decades following its establishment, the Knesset introduced the “Absentee Property Law 1950,” giving itself the power to seize the property of owners no longer resident due to displacement. This has led to almost all privately-owned Palestinian land being counted as “state land.” The majority of original sites within the 1948 boundaries were progressively turned over to agriculture, closed military zones, and nature reserves. Many such areas were planted with trees to prevent refugees from returning.

Today, the highest densities of these uninhabited townsites are concentrated in the eastern Upper and Lower Galilee region and the south-west coastal plain between Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It is no coincidence that these areas are closest to the largest refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza.

With “Israel” forced to concede the return of refugees to the North, the question may well arise, if Gazans can be allowed to return to homes which no longer exist in the northern Strip, why should returning to the sites of their own, or their elders’ original displacement be an impossibility? Living in tents amidst the rubble of Gaza is surely not qualitatively different from living amidst the ruins of their ancestral hometowns within “Israel”, as far as humanitarian difficulty is concerned.

Here perhaps, the armed Palestinian Resistance may have discovered the germ of a new strategy to force the Right of Return on a regime that would never accept it voluntarily, anymore that it has voluntarily accepted the return to northern Gaza. As the escalations across the West Bank increase and Netanyahu continues to flout the ceasefire with Hezbollah in South Lebanon, forcing the Right of Return as an objective for future ceasefire negotiations might at least temporarily force Tel Aviv to tread more cautiously. At most, it would amount to the start of the long-awaited roll-back of ethnic cleansing that started three quarters of a century ago.

Hamas Hails Prisoner Release, Vows Resistance Until Total Freedom

The Hamas movement welcomed the release of several Palestinian prisoners in the sixth exchange batch, calling it a major achievement in the Palestinian people’s ongoing struggle for liberation.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Hamas reaffirmed that liberating Palestinian prisoners remains a fundamental priority for both the Palestinian people and the Resistance, stressing that the fight will not end until all detainees are freed from Zionist dungeons.

The statement also held the regime ully responsible for honoring the terms of the prisoner exchange and adhering to humanitarian protocols. It warned that the entity must immediately proceed with the second phase of negotiations without obstruction or delay.

Hamas noted that the unity of the Palestinian people and their resistance is the key to defeating Zionist plans of displacement, just as they have shattered past occupation schemes.

The movement also strongly condemned the Israeli occupation’s humiliating and racist treatment of Palestinian prisoners, exposing them to physical and psychological abuse in clear violation of international law. Hamas denounced the Zionist regime’s systematic mistreatment of detainees, contrasting it with the Palestinian resistance’s firm commitment to ethical principles in its treatment of enemy prisoners.

As part of its campaign of dehumanization, Zionist authorities deliberately forced released prisoners to wear sweaters marked with the Star of David and Arabic text reading: “We do not forget, we do not forgive,” in a calculated act of psychological warfare.
