Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced that the “Al-Aqsa Flood” was an explosion in the face of the enemy’s crimes.

He stressed that the Palestinian people are still subjected to aggression and genocide as punishment for their adherence to their land, noting that the crimes of the occupation have reached their peak with cleansing and systematic extermination in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

Abu Ubaida explained that the Al-Aqsa flood was not the beginning of resistance to the occupation’s aggression, but rather it was a response to the enemy’s crimes.

He stressed that the mujahideen are still fighting in Gaza without external support, and that the Palestinian people are steadfast without food or medicine.

He also pointed out that the Al-Qassam Mujahideen have been fighting for 9 months, defeating the enemy army supported by the United States and Britain.

He added that independent opinion polls show, after months of aggression, how the Palestinian people are rallying around their resistance.

The occupation army was accused of using civilians as human shields, and bombing homes, hospitals, schools, mosques and churches.

He said that the world witnessed, through the crimes of the occupation in Gaza, the lies of international organizations and the alleged impotence of human rights laws.

He stressed that all twenty-four Al-Qassam Brigades, along with all resistance factions, fought the enemy and defeated it in various parts of the Gaza Strip.

He explained that the enemy received and is still receiving painful blows everywhere it penetrates into the Gaza Strip, and that the Battle of Rafah and what the Mujahideen are taking in Shuja’iya and elsewhere is evidence of the strength of the resistance and the enemy’s failure and defeat.

Abu Ubaida stressed that there is no place in Gaza for forces holed up in homes like thieves, nor for officers hiding behind armored vehicles.

He stressed that the axis in the center of the sector called Netzarim will be an axis of terror and killing, and the enemy will emerge from it defeated.

He pointed out that the human capabilities of the Al-Qassam Brigades are fine, and that during the war they were able to recruit thousands of new fighters, stressing that there are thousands of fighters ready to confront the enemy whenever necessary.
