Abu Hamza, a spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, confirmed that the Brigades are ready to expand the circle of fire no matter how long the battle is, and whatever the cost.

In a videotaped speech, Abu Hamza stressed that the brigades are determined to repel the aggression as part of the "Revenge of the Free" operation, considering that this proves the failure of the assassination policy.

He reaffirmed that the assassinations did not and will not stop the march of resistance, pointing out that the Brigades are a complete and integrated system, saying: "By assassinating our leaders, we are more determined to take revenge on you." referring to the occupation.

He pointed out that the resistance launched intense and focused strikes on different areas of the cities and settlements of the occupation, which prompted the settlers to resort to shelters.
