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.
