Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, described the strikes by fighters from Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen as an extension of the Al-Aqsa flood sparked in Gaza.
He called these operations a response to Israeli war crimes and a contribution to defeating the occupation.
He urged Palestinians to carry out precision operations to defend prisoners following the Israeli Knesset’s approval of a law to execute Palestinian detainees. He criticized Israel’s attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and even Qatar, and condemned its collusion with the United States.
Abu Ubaida denounced Israel’s closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, its annexation policies in the West Bank, and continued attacks on civilians. He highlighted the failure of global mediators to enforce Israel’s obligations under the Gaza Agreement and stressed that Palestinian resistance would not accept political concessions at the expense of their rights.
He called on Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Al-Quds, and occupied territories, as well as the global Islamic community, to protest, defend holy sites, and work toward freeing prisoners. He also praised Iranian strikes against Israel and expressed solidarity with Lebanon and Hezbollah against Israeli aggression.
“The enemy must know that touching our prisoners or Al-Aqsa will not go unpunished, and any aggression will have wider consequences for the region,” he said.
