The spokespersons for the al-Quds Brigades and al-Mujahideen Brigades, Abu Hamza and Abu Bilal respectively released statements on the 116th day of the Israeli war on Gaza.
Abu Hamza who addressed ongoing developments via a voice recording stressed that recent threats issued by the "thoughtless war criminal" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will come to no avail.
Moreover, the spokesperson stressed that all attempts to retrieve Israeli captives from the Gaza Strip will end in failure, adding that the decision to let those captives go is in the hands of the Palestinian Resistance.
After addressing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and acknowledging their valiant sacrifices, the spokesperson said that al-Quds Brigades fighters launched a series of operations to avenge the Palestinian people. He pointed to the intricately executed mortar and rocket attacks on Israeli occupation military gatherings, as well as sapper operations and attacks conducted by the Brigades sniper units on Tuesday.
Finally, Abu Hamza sent a message of gratitude to supporting Resistance factions, namely Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen, an the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and all those who resisted the occupation. He then went on to shame all Arab and Islamic regimes and people who did not support the Palestinian people at this critical junction.

Abu Bilal said that al-Mujahideen fighters "violently clashed with occupation soldiers" in several areas in the Gaza Strip.
