The spokesperson for al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, called on Saturday not to abandon the Al-Aqsa Flood battle led by the heroes in Gaza, criticizing Arab and Islamic governments who have turned their back on the Palestinian people in the Strip being slaughtered by the Israeli occupation for almost 5 months now.

Addressing Arab and Islamic countries "who possess armies, planes, and artillery," he asked, "Is it not time for you to mobilize your weapons, following in the footsteps of the free people of Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq?"

He pointed out that "the Israeli enemy wanted an open war, and we have gone to an open war in compliance with Allah's orders to mobilize [to fight oppressors] and always be prepared," announcing the continuation of the "al-Aqsa Flood battle on the basis of Unity of the Battlefields in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria."

He slammed governments that continue to follow the dictates of the United States rather than supporting the oppressed Palestinians.

"Is it not time for you to cast off the garment of servitude and humiliation to the great Satan, America, and follow in the footsteps of the honorable?"

"We say to the Arabs and Muslims, just as you turn to Allah with the obligatory prayers and fasting [in the holy month Ramadan], mobilize and head to Palestine with arms and the duty of Jihad."

Abu Hamza also called on the Arab and Islamic nations "to break the silence and draw closer to Allah.

" Let Ramadan be a month of terror and panic for the Israeli entity," he stressed.

He saluted the steadfastness of the brave Palestinian people inside the besieged Gaza Strip, "who are enduring pain and persecution for the sake of a dignified life," adding that "the Resistance shares with the Palestinian people the conditions they live in, and we will later reveal the details of this battle and the valiance of the fighters" engaging in combat while in constant danger of being killed.

He addressed the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip, saying, "You are the symbol of dignity and resilience," adding that there is nothing that could compare to their sacrifices "no matter how much pain we share with you."

Gaza's victory paves the way to liberating Palestine

As the war nears its 150th day, the Resistance in Gaza continues to fiercely confront invading Israeli forces across the Strip's axes, inflicting heavy losses in lives and military hardware on the occupation on a daily basis.

Abu Hamza stressed that the Resistance has the ability to continue the battle "no matter how long it lasts," adding that "the outcome of this battle will only be a defeat for the enemy, paving the way for" liberating all of Palestine from the Israeli occupation.

He also pointed out that the Resistance continues to confront the occupation and defend the land of Palestine in the West Bank and all combat in the Gaza Strip, pointing out that its command and control structure and operations remain intact and unaffected.

Revealing a recent operation conducted by al-Quds Brigades earlier this week, Abu Hamza confirmed that the group's fighters had killed all members of an Israeli force in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City - which has been witnessing violent battles in the past two weeks.

He added that the Brigades had "destroyed a number of Israeli vehicles and tanks and shot down Israeli drones" in the neighborhood.

First day of Ramadan: A global day to support Gaza

Commenting on the recent document released by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his government's plans for the "day after the war," Abu Hamza affirmed that all matters related to Gaza are only determined by the Strip's people, their Resistance, and "those who have fought the battle of honor and dignity."

"The Palestinian Resistance, since its inception" does not choose to engage in battles based on its military capabilities, rather, it continues to resist "as long as the occupation persists" no matter the circumstances.

Elsewhere in his address, the spokesperson called on "the Palestinian people in the West Bank, al-Quds, and the [1948 occupied territores] to carry out operations against Israeli military checkpoints and block the roads on settlers," calling for the "first day of Ramadan to be a global day of support for Gaza, with massive mobilization across all fields and arenas."

"We are confident that a unified Ummah is capable of achieving the impossible and will make Ramadan a historical period for washing away the shame and threatening the core of the Israeli enemy entity and arrogant world powers."
