Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, affirmed on Thursday that Resistance fighters remain steadfast and continue carrying out major operations against Israeli occupation forces and settlers from al-Khalil to Jenin. The actions come in direct response to the escalating aggression on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In a statement posted on his Telegram channel, Abu Obeida said the operations come as “a direct response to the escalating crimes committed by the enemy army and its settlers, which have turned the lives of Palestinians into hell.”
The Al-Qassam spokesperson also called on Palestinian youth across the West Bank and al-Quds to intensify resistance efforts and to rise against the aggressors, urging action to deter occupation forces and settlers from committing more crimes and advancing plots to annex the West Bank.
Abu Obeida concluded by warning of the consequences of inaction, calling for an uprising “before what remains of Palestine slips away from our people’s hands.”
Over 40,000 Palestinians displaced
According to Israeli rights group B’Tselem, Israeli offensives have displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including from Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin camps. The organization estimates that over 40,000 Palestinians have been forcibly uprooted in 2024 alone.
The Israeli military claimed the demolitions are aimed at combating Palestinian Resistance groups and said the destruction was "operationally necessary" to allow troops to move freely. However, the demolitions have triggered widespread international condemnation and raised alarms over what many see as an organized effort to annex the West Bank, which "Israel" occupied in the 1967 war.
This week, Reuters witnesses saw bulldozers clearing away debris from flattened homes and expanding roads surrounded by rubble. Residents scrambled to pile salvaged furniture, bedding, and cooking utensils onto trucks.
Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil said demolitions have surged in recent weeks, with 106 homes and 104 other buildings destroyed in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.
