In a statement, Hamas emphasized that the operation in Al-Khalil is “a natural response to heinous massacres, the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, and zionist crimes in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds.” The movement declared the operation as a continuation of the heroic resistance actions in the West Bank

Hamas reiterated that the people engaged in Operation al-Aqsa Flood will continue their jihad and resistance against the zionist enemy until the liberation of Palestine and the cleansing of Al-Aqsa Mosque from any kind of occupation.

Reaffirming its commitment to rejecting occupation, injustice, and aggression, Hamas called on all cities, villages, and camps to set the occupying entity on fire and to block settlers’ roads by any means necessary. The resistance movement also urged everyone carrying weapons to stand against the occupiers who continue its genocidal war in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas concluded its statement with a call to action, urging all Palestinians and supporters of their cause to intensify their resistance efforts against the occupation and to continue their fight until their ultimate goals of liberation and justice are achieved.

The group also emphasized that they would not cease their struggle until every inch of Palestinian land is freed and the dignity of their people is restored. (ILKHA)
