The Palestinian Resistance factions poured their congratulations to the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - for its preliminary retaliation operation for the Israeli assassination of its senior commander, Martyr Fouad Shokor.

Hamas

Hamas extended its congratulations for the "strong and focused" response carried out by the Islamic Resistance on Sunday morning, which directly struck multiple vital and strategic targets deep within occupied territories. 

In its statement, the Resistance movement described the operation as "a slap in the face of the fascist occupation government and a message that its terrorism and crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples will not go unanswered and will not achieve its aggressive goals and plans."

Hamas also strongly denounced the Israeli escalation against Lebanon, as well as its "savage and criminal bombardment of Lebanese lands and civilians," affirming that the aggression is a flagrant violation of all international charters and laws and additional proof of the danger the occupation poses to regional security and stability. 

Hamas held the US administration fully accountable for the consequences of "Israel's" crimes, and for its complicity in the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. 

Palestinian Islamic Jihad

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Resistance movement also issued a statement commending Hezbollah for its courageous, bold, and successful attack against Israeli targets integrated deep within occupied territories.

The PIJ said Hezbollah's operation showcases its "steadfastness in their positions and fulfillment of their promise" to support Palestine and defend Lebanon. 

"These strikes have confirmed that the Zionist enemy understands only the language of force and is deterred only by the blows of the Resistance and the fighters," the statement further read. 

Palestinian Resistance Committees

The Palestine Resistance Committees said the "responses carried out by the Islamic Resistance prove that Hezbollah has the capabilities to deeply penetrate the Zionist entity and expose the collapse of the Zionist deterrence and defense systems.

The Committees' statement further read that Hezbollah's operation was more evidence that the Israeli military, along with the United States and the West, could not protect the occupation from the blows and responses of the Resistance. 

They also expressed their greetings and pride to all the free fighters in Hezbollah, who "express their authenticity, gallantry, and the boldness of their wise leadership as they continue to support and back our people and resistance in the face of the Zionist-American war machine and crimes."

Al-Mujahideen Movement

For its part, the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement praised the response of the Islamic Resistance, extending its support to its brothers in Lebanon as they confront the "fascist Zionist enemy and the aggression backed by the head of global terrorism and evil, the United States of America." 

The movement also echoed the factions' appreciation for Hezbollah as it continues walking the path of resistance in support of the people of Palestine amid the most "heinous crime of genocide, despite the conspiracies, aggression, Arab indolence, and international complicity."

The statement further called on the Resistance fighters and the nation to intensify their strategic strikes against the occupation's targets and interests, as "force and spears are the only language that the cowardly Zionist enemy understands."

PFLP

Meanwhile, the head of international relations for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Maher al-Taher, told Al Mayadeen that "the Palestinian people had full confidence that Hezbollah would deliver painful blows to the entity."

He clarified that Hezbollah, which is widely known for its reliability, operates under the strategy of overwhelming and exhausting the Israeli occupation.

PFLP-GC

The Secretary-General of the PFLP - General Command, Talal Naji, also affirmed to Al Mayadeen that Hezbollah's operation significantly impacts the ongoing war against the people of Gaza and Palestine. 

He relayed the trust the people of Palestine have in Hezbollah, saying that Palestine had absolute faith that the Resistance would respond to Martyr Shokor's assassination. 

"Hezbollah keeps its promises, and the enemy knows that," he added, noting that "what the Resistance did today provides our people and negotiators with a significant boost," and affirming that "the occupation has not been able to eliminate the Resistance, and it will not be able to do so, as proven by what happened today."
