A kiss on the forehead of the resistance under the shade of the flag

The seventh batch of prisoner exchange in the first phase reflected the Palestinian resistance’s ability to present more surprises to the Israeli side, through the organization and skillful management of the release of Israeli detainees, amid great confidence that astonished everyone. Despite Israel’s delay in the release of Palestinian prisoners in light of Netanyahu’s policies and his extremist ministers to embitter the families of prisoners and tighten the noose on them, this negative practice by Israel, which has been repeated more than once, reflects one fact, which is that Hamas humiliated Israel, and after inflicting a military defeat on it and proving its ability to control Gaza on the ground, it forced it to sign a swap deal to release thousands of prisoners, including hundreds of those sentenced to life imprisonment, which aroused the anger, resentment and resentment of ministers such as Smotrich, the resigned Ben Gvir and others.
Yesterday, the resistance in the Gaza Strip scored many goals against the Israeli goal, starting with the good treatment of the Israeli prisoners, and dealing with them based on the instructions of the true Islamic religion. There is no doubt that the message that the resistance succeeded in conveying to the entire world came from Israel itself when the Israeli prisoner Omer Shem-Tov kissed the heads of two members of the Qassam Brigades, imprinting a kiss on the forehead of the resistance, to ignite social media networks and all international channels, through his return of the favor to those who captured him and treated him with kindness and respect, while the Israeli prison administration excels in oppressing and torturing our prisoners and spoiling their joy of freedom until the last moments of their release.
The scenes of raising the Palestinian flag on a specially prepared flagpole, and the playing of the national anthem with its patriotic expressions that exude pride and loftiness, by virtue of the oath and under the shade of the flag, warmed the hearts of everyone in a scene that inspires pride, which reached its peak with an expressive and unifying message when the resistance decided to release the Bedouin prisoner Hisham al-Sayyed, away from the ceremonies and television broadcasts out of respect for the feelings of the Arab Palestinians of the interior, so the Palestinian interior received it with pride and honor as an expression of the unity of destiny.
The solid Palestinian will was evident and the failure of the occupation to achieve its goals and break the steadfastness of our people was entrenched, through the message of the resistance that came in all the exchange batches, from Rafah, the Middle, Khan Yunis and Gaza, to confirm that it is stronger and more determined to continue on its path of struggle, in addition to the characteristic of the ability to accomplish a complete secret operation, which Israel, with all its security systems that rely on the latest monitoring devices, weapons and radars, did not succeed in uncovering or spoiling, and this point in particular is attributed to the cunning and intelligence of the resistance, militarily and administratively, in addition to the dazzling and successful media aspect.
It is natural in light of these scenes that Netanyahu appears trying to evade the agreement, and threatening to resume the war, but he knows very well that the only way to return his living and dead prisoners is to negotiate and adhere to the terms of what was agreed upon, while stressing the readiness and preparedness of the resistance to begin negotiations on the second stage, despite Israel’s deliberate delay, as it has not started until this moment, due to pressure from the United States, which also realizes and knows very well that the plans of its president Trump will not pass by the citizens in Gaza in particular, and the Palestinian people in general, who will defeat them forever.
