The Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, said that the Palestinian people achieved a victory by ending the occupation's aggression against Jenin and its camp.

He added that the Jenin Briage led this victory, noting that "the Palestinian people, with their unity and rallying around the resistance fighters, proved that they can defeat the enemy."

Al-Nakhalah added, "The Palestinian people have proven that they can conquer the Israeli occupation in every battle against it, from the battle of Seif Al-Quds to the Fury of Jenin."

He pointed out that "during these historical moments, the entirety of Jenin is cheering for the resistance fighters and the Jenin Battalion," describing these moments as "moments of pride and glory that will persist until our victory."

Al-Nakhalah called for national solidarity to strengthen the steadfastness of the Jenin camp so that it "remains an inspiring model for revolution, defiance, struggle, and resistance."
