It was announced today that the Joint Operations Room of Palestinian Resistance Factions (JOR) initiated the Al-Rukn al-Shadid (Mighty Pillar) 4 drills, kicking off with a rocket launch toward the sea

A military official from the Joint Room stated that the exercise serves as a continuation of the annual Al-Rukn al-Shadid conducted by the resistance factions, encompassing both land and sea combat scenarios.

Speaking to the WAFA agency, the military official clarified that the objective of the exercise is to enhance preparedness and readiness of all Resistance factions in the face of Israeli threats.

The drills also coincide with the 18th anniversary of the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

On this occasion, Hamas emphasized that the comprehensive Resistance, which succeeded in repelling the occupation from Gaza and steadfastly faced its continuous terrorism and aggression for many years, is now capable of thwarting all Israeli attempts at the Judaization of al-Quds and the proliferation of settlements in the West Bank.

The statement further asserted that the escalating aggression of the occupation in al-Quds and the West Bank "will not grant it any fabricated legitimacy on an inch of Palestinian land, and its crimes will not change the historical and on-ground realities."

The Ministry of Interior in Gaza announced that field measures would accompany the drills, involving the internal front and the deployment of security agencies. These measures would include gunfire and explosions, as well as the significant movement of Resistance elements, security, ambulance, and civil defense vehicles.
