The al-Qassam Brigades, in a message to the scholars of the Ummah, expressed their profound disappointment, stating that their sense of betrayal comes not from the regimes, rulers, or general Muslims, but from scholars and preachers themselves.

In a message published on its platforms, the al-Qassam Brigades addressed the state of the Ummah's scholars in the face of the genocide that the Israeli occupation has been committing for about 11 months in the Gaza Strip, stressing that "fear from unjust regimes does not justify betrayal and inaction."

The Resistance group challenged the scholars and thinkers by asking, "What is the purpose of your knowledge if you do not speak the truth in these critical times?" and warned, "Are you waiting until it is said that Gaza has been annihilated and Islam has been eradicated from it?"

Al Mayadeen interviews 'Israel's' top wanted fighter in WB, Abu Shujaa

Al Mayadeen conducted an interview earlier this week with the commander of the Tulkarm Brigade within al-Quds Brigades, Mohammad Jaber "Abu Shujaa", which translates to "the father of courage", the Israeli occupation's most wanted individual in the occupied West Bank. 

Abu Shujaa insisted his first media interview be with Al Mayadeen, despite "Israel" and its apparatus' pursuit of him. 

Gaza: The people of fortitude and resolution

Abu Shujaa kickstarted his interview with a discussion on the integration of the Resistance in the West Bank in the Battle of Al Aqsa Flood, alongside the heroes of Gaza. 

"We learn patience and resistance from the sons and fighters of Gaza and draw high morale from them. The Resistance remains as brilliant and valiant across all battlefields against the occupation 10 months into the war, despite the Israeli criminality that continues to target civilians, women, and children," he said, giving the example of the Israeli massacre against Palestinian civilians in al-Tabieen School.

He addressed the people of Gaza, extending solidarity and relaying the inspiration and lessons they [Palestinians/fighters in the West Bank] have learned from them, praising their heroism, and asking for a Godly reward to be bestowed upon them. 

"You are the people of fortitude and resolution, who have proven to the whole world that Gaza's people can eradicate 'Israel'", Abu Shujaa said, calling the Resistance factions' leadership to be the victors of Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

He further hoped the Islamic Ummah would not show indolence, particularly as the Resistance fighters were confronting the usurpers of rights and land, citing Yitzhak Rabin's notorious "A dead Palestinian is a good Palestinian," explaining that all Palestinians are targeted in Zionist ideology. 

On the Israeli assassination plots 

Abu Shujaa has been pursued by the Israeli occupation, with its forces failing to assassinate him three or four times, after being targeted in an operation specifically designated for him. 

After the operation failed, the Israeli occupation continued its invasion of Tulkarm for 55 hours, according to the commander, who stressed that "Israel" was more fragile than a spider's web, particularly after all the losses it had suffered. 

The Israeli occupation has always been weak, but refuses to admit it, Abu Shujaa said. 

"If the enemy assassinates me, we will continue. The struggle does not end with one person, there are generations that rise to defend our rights, and the biggest indicator is the martyrdom of a Palestinian and more in each home in Tulkarm, and the Resistance continues." 

The masses have not risen for Abu Shujaa, he said, but for the idea of Resistance that solidifies their commitment [to armed struggle]. 

He addressed the Israeli occupation, saying, "The field decides all, and here it is... Eyes on the field." 

After the assassination attempt failed, the Israeli occupation spread rumors after withdrawing from Tulkarm that it had assassinated Abu Shujaa. However, hours later, the occupation and his loved ones were surprised that he was alive and well.

Abu Shujaa clarified that he and a few people remained in the (Al-Kanir) neighborhood during the Israeli invasion, and the rest were martyred, adding that the occupation indiscriminately shelled them using RPG shells, and were confronted [by the Resistance] with rifles and explosive devices.

After that, the occupation admitted that two soldiers were killed and nine of them were seriously injured. "Of course, this is on its own account, knowing that the losses were greater," Abu Shujaa said.
