Hamas called for general mobilization next Friday under: “Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood” in support of Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, and Gaza.
In an official statement, Hamas called on the determined youth across the occupied West Bank and occupied Al-Quds to take to the streets in large numbers to confront the Israeli occupation forces, affirming the "unity of path and destiny in the quest to free Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa from the grasp of the fascist occupation."
Addressing the Palestinians from the territories occupied in 1948, the movement stated: "This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and be stationed at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, in solidarity with your fellow people in Gaza and the West Bank."
The statement further highlighted that "the Palestinian resistance, led by the Al-Qassam Brigades at the forefront, is creating heroic epics of valor and sacrifice against the Israeli occupation. They are defending the land, Al-Quds, and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, safeguarding the dignity of the steadfast women of Palestine, and achieving victory for our free prisoners and honorable captives, on behalf of the entire nation."
Look at #Gaza, bombed, destroyed, without water or electricity, and with #Palestinian martyrs stuck beneath the rubble of residential buildings, mosques, and schools that the Israeli occupation targeted mercilessly without prior notice.

The movement also urged the masses of the Arab and Islamic nations, along with the Palestinian people worldwide, including those in refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of Palestine in massive gatherings, declaring their solidarity with Palestine, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa.
"For those who are geographically distant, they should assemble at the nearest point toward occupied Jerusalem", it stated.
This comes as "Israel" intensifies its brutal airstrikes across Gaza, leading to hundreds of killings and thousands of injuries among civilians, including journalists.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the number of martyrs resulting from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has surpassed 704, with the number of injuries exceeding 3,900.
