Palestinian Resistance movements hailed the return of Palestinians to Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip on Monday via Rashid Coastal Street in the central Gaza Strip.
In a statement, Hamas described the return of the displaced people as “a victory” for Palestinians and a defeat for the Israelis.
It said the scenes of the return of Palestinians to the areas from which they had been displaced confirmed their connection to their land and once again proved “the failure of the occupation to achieve the aggressive goals of displacing people and breaking their steadfast will.”
Similarly, the PIJ described the return as a response to those who once dreamed of forcing the exodus of Palestinians.
The group said, “In an epic scene, hundreds of thousands of our displaced people are returning to northern Gaza, an area, which had been turned into a heap of rubble as a result of Zionists’ atrocities,” the group said.
