Al-Qassam bombards enemy command, control site in Morag axis
Gaza – Saba: Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades announced on Thursday that it had bombarded an Israeli enemy command and control site in the Morag axis in the southern Gaza Strip. In a statement, al-Qassam said: "Yesterday evening, Wednesday, we bombed a command and control site of the Israeli enemy in the Morag axis with a short-range 114mm Rajum missile system." This comes in the context of the Palestinian resistance factions' response to the genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the people of the Gaza Strip, with American support, since October 7, 2023. This crime includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Abu Obeida renews salute to Yemeni People, Armed Forces for their support of Palestine
Gaza – Saba: Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson of al-Qassam Brigades, has renewed his salute to the steadfast and sincere position of the Yemeni people and their armed forces in support of Palestine, Gaza, and its fighters. He praised their ability to establish an effective front against the Israeli enemy. In a video statement broadcasted by Al Jazeera on Friday, Abu Obeida said: 'We extend our greetings to our dear and blessed people in Yemen—the land of wisdom and faith—to its armed forces, and to the sincere brothers of Ansarullah who astonished the world with their unwavering stance and true commitment to Palestine, Gaza, its people, and fighters. They have imposed an active front on the enemy.' He emphasized that Yemen's stance had exposed the inaction of major Arab and Islamic regimes, parties, and forces, which he said had failed to support the most sacred cause of the Arab and Muslim world. 'Over the past months, we have inflicted hundreds of casualties on the enemy's soldiers, leaving many more psychologically scarred. The number of suicides among their troops is increasing due to the horrors of what they do and what they face from our resistance, strengthened by God's support,' he said. Abu Obeida stated that al-Qassam fighters have employed new tactics and strategies, conducting unique operations, targeting Israeli vehicles with explosives, engaging in direct combat, sniping soldiers and officers, and attacking buildings, tunnels, and ambush points. He stressed that al-Qassam leadership is currently focused on inflicting significant losses on Israeli enemy troops, launching close-range operations, and attempting to capture enemy soldiers. 'After 21 months of al-Aqsa Flood battle and the brutal Zionist war, our fighters and fellow resistance factions are fully prepared for a prolonged war of attrition, no matter the shape of the enemy's aggression,' he said. 'Our fight is a sacred duty, a right that is not up for debate. We will fight with determination, armed with faith, even if all we have are the stones of the earth. Our men, with limited weapons, perform miracles by the grace of God,' he added. He revealed that Israel's government does not prioritize its captured soldiers, having conditioned its public to accept their deaths. Yet, he affirmed Hamas' efforts to preserve them for a potential exchange. Abu Obeida reaffirmed Hamas' support for the resistance's negotiating team in indirect talks with the Occupation, saying they offered a full prisoner exchange deal. However, Netanyahu and his ministers rejected it. He warned that if the Occupation continues to reject agreements, Hamas might not return to partial deals or the current "ten prisoners" proposal. Abu Obeida condemned the occupation's use of collective punishment and war crimes, supported openly by the U.S. administration. He said, 'If the enemy continues its genocide, it will keep receiving the corpses of its soldiers. Their tanks won't save them from the fire sent by faithful hands.' He held Arab and Islamic leaders responsible for the bloodshed in Gaza, accusing them of failing their duty. 'You will be held accountable before God for every orphan, widow, refugee, and wounded person. Your silence enabled the enemy.' He noted that four months had passed since the Occupation entity resumed its aggression in violation of a previous agreement. The Zionist campaign has focused on the destruction of civilian areas and targeting of innocents. Reflecting on 21 months of aggression, Abu Obeida described the resilience of the Palestinian people as legendary, while shaming Arab regimes for their betrayal. He praised the few honest fighters, the oppressed peoples, and global activists who stand with Palestine. He mocked the Occupation "Operation Gideon's Chariots," saying it was based on religious myths, while al-Qassam responded with "David's Stones" operations, inspired by Prophet David's triumph over Goliath. Abu Obeida affirmed unity with all Palestinian resistance factions, especially Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades, in fighting a highly unequal battle with faith and courage. He saluted global activists trying to break the siege and support Gaza, despite danger and betrayal from hypocrites within the Arab world. He warned that using Arab-named collaborators was a sign of Israel's desperation, calling on them to repent before it's too late. He praised Palestinian tribes disowning traitors, affirming they do not represent the people. 'Your patience and defiance enrages the enemy more than anything else. Victory will come. After hardship, there is ease,' he said. Abu Obeida concluded with a Quranic verse promising joy to believers in the victory of Allah, calling for continued resistance until liberation is achieved.

Hamas fighters ‘not paid for three months' because of Israeli aid block
Hamas has not paid its fighters for three months due to Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid preventing the group seizing and selling supplies, according to reports. Members of the al-Qassam brigades, Hamas' military wing, have not received any pay since around February, a source from within the terror group told the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. Families of terrorists killed or captured during fighting with Israel are also reported to have not received their usual remuneration. Hamas's civil workers were said to have received a reduced salary equivalent of $250 four months ago, which 'sparked resentment among employees'. It is not clear if they have been paid since. Budgets allocated towards ministries and government agencies were also reported to have been put on hold around the same time. Israel cut off supplies of humanitarian aid to Gaza in March, some of which Hamas had reportedly been seizing and selling to raise money. Around 100 aid lorries were allowed to reenter the strip on Friday, but this was much reduced from the around 600 a day that were crossing the border before March. Moumen Al-Natour, a Palestinian lawyer from the Al-Shati camp in central Gaza, told the Wall Street Journal last week that the cash-strapped terror group had 'a big crisis' on its hands. 'They were mainly dependent on humanitarian aid sold in black markets for cash,' he explained. The renewed Israeli offensive in Gaza has also reportedly targeted Hamas officials involved in distributing cash. Hamas has 'never experienced such conditions before, whether during the current war or in previous periods' and there is a 'clear administrative vacuum', Asharq Al-Awsat wrote. On Monday Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney called on Israel to lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid and stop its military operations in Gaza, a statement that was strongly condemned by the Israeli government. Hundreds of Palestinians were seen in footage posted to social media this week calling for an end to the war and the removal of the group, which has been in power in Gaza for nearly two decades. The protests appear to have been caused by claims from a senior Hamas official that the war with Israel was 'eternal', and that Palestinians would 'produce dozens more babies for each martyr'. 'Out! Out! Out! All of Hamas, out!' the protesters chanted, despite the danger of speaking out against the terror group in the war-torn enclave. In March, a 22-year-old man was tortured to death by armed gunmen after taking part in anti-Hamas demonstrations. Videos from Khan Younis show young men criticising Hamas for selling their 'blood for a dollar… To those with Hamas, be aware the people of Gaza will dig your grave'. Gaza-based journalists reportedly received threats after the protests, warning them not to publish any 'negative news that could affect the morale of the people'. One man, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the BBC: 'The people do not care any more about Hamas's attempts to suppress their voice because they are literally dying from hunger, evacuation, and the bombings.' Hamas is also reported to have lost much of its influence in the Occupied West Bank, with underfunded terror cells not carrying out attacks on Israeli settlers or troops due to fear of military raids. Israel continued its new Gaza offensive on Saturday, with the strip's Hamas-run civil defence agency saying at least 15 people were killed by Israeli strikes. 'Suddenly, a missile from an F-16 destroyed the entire house, and all of them were civilians – my sister, her husband and their children,' said Wissam Al-Madhoun outside Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital, where tearful mourners gathered around white-shrouded bodies. 'We found them lying in the street. What did this child do to Netanyahu?' he added. The Israeli military said it was unable to comment on individual strikes without their 'precise geographical coordinates'. In a statement, the military said that over the past day the air force had struck more than 100 targets across the territory, including members of 'terrorist organisations in the Gaza Strip, military structures, underground routes and additional terrorist infrastructure'.
