Gaza & Palestine
Northern Gaza was subjected to Israeli artillery shelling
Saraya Al-Quds:
It mourns three of its leaders and fighters who were killed as a result of Israeli targeting operations in the Gaza Strip over the past few days, namely: ▪Martyr commander Hamdi Ahmed Kahil, assistant commander of the Central Operations Unit ▪Martyr Ahmed Fouad Helles from the Hattin Battalion in the Gaza Brigade ▪Martyr Sobhi Khader Al-Batrihi from the Al-Jadida Battalion in the Gaza Brigade
Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas:
▪ The decision by the occupation army to confiscate about 137,500 dunams of farmers’ land behind the separation wall in the town of Jius, north of Qalqilya, represents an open theft, a new settlement crime, and a blatant aggression against our land and our people, and an extension of the occupation’s policy aimed at annexation and displacement. ▪ The confiscation of large areas of citizens’ land, attempts to impose new settlement facts, and empty the West Bank of its people will not succeed in the face of our people’s steadfastness, resilience, and adherence to their land and rights. ▪ We warn of the danger of the continuation of these policies, which are taking place amid international silence, and we affirm that escalating land confiscation and expanding settlements will not grant the occupation any legitimacy on our land, and will not succeed in breaking our people’s will and determination to continue their path toward freedom and liberation. ▪ We call on our people in the West Bank and Jerusalem to escalate resistance and confront the occupation’s settlement plans by all possible means, and we call on the United Nations and the international community to assume their responsibilities and take practical steps to stop the occupation’s crimes, settlement, and land confiscation, which constitute a blatant violation of international law.

Al-Qassam Brigades:
We mourn the great martyr commander Mohammed Abd al-Salam al-Yazouri "Abu Haitham", a member of the General Military Council of the Al-Qassam Brigades and commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, who ascended yesterday evening following an assassination operation that targeted him. The martyr "Abu Haitham" moved between several leadership positions in the Khan Younis Brigade, from commander of the Central Khan Younis Battalion to head of the brigade's intelligence, then the weapons and services battalion, and deputy commander of the brigade, reaching command of the Khan Younis Brigade. He had a prominent role in planning the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation, and survived several assassination attempts during his career. The Al-Qassam Brigades mourn its commander, pledging to continue the path of the martyrs, and affirming that thousands of commanders and mujahideen will continue the march until "purging the land and holy sites of the filth of the occupation".
