In a statement released on Saturday, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas declared that the recent war with ‘Israel’, referred to as “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” has exemplified the unity and triumphant resistance of the Palestinian people.
Hamas stated that this battle has “brought us closer to the demise of the occupation, liberation, and return, God willing.” The group asserted that ‘Israel’ “failed to achieve its aggressive goals and succeeded only in committing war crimes that disgrace humanity.”
According to the statement, Hamas “forced the occupation to halt its aggression against our people and withdraw, despite Netanyahu’s attempts to prolong the war and commit more massacres.” The group vowed that the blood of the martyrs who died during the conflict “will not be in vain,” and that “the enemy’s leaders and soldiers will be pursued and held accountable for these crimes, no matter how long it takes.”
“The occupation failed to achieve its aggressive goals, and only succeeded in committing war crimes that would make humanity blush.”
Looking ahead, Hamas emphasized that the immediate priority is the lifting of the Israeli siege on Gaza, providing relief to the Palestinian people, facilitating the return of the displaced, and initiating the reconstruction of the devastated enclave. The group indicated that this has been a focus of their leadership since the start of the conflict.
Regarding the humanitarian aid protocol agreed upon under the supervision of mediators, Hamas noted that it ensures the implementation of relief, shelter, and reconstruction measures for the people of Gaza.
