The military spokesperson for the Al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, underlined on Tuesday that the Israeli massacre against the Brigades' leaders in Gaza will increase the Palestinian people's adherence to the resistance.

At dawn Tuesday, the Israeli occupation launched an aggression against Gaza and targeted several areas in the Strip, including the homes of PIJ leaders, which resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinians, including three Al-Quds Brigades leaders.

During a recorded speech, Abu Hamza said, "as is their bloody habit, the enemy committed, at dawn today, with all harshness and prejudice, a new crime against our people, our leaders, and our fighters, in horrifying and scattered massacres in various areas of the Gaza Strip, and crimes against civilians that shock humanity, the enemy falsely and deludedly believing that this bloodshed will be a bridge to cross and a lifebuoy for salvation."

The spokesperson stressed that this heinous crime will only increase the Resistance's "determination to continue the path drawn by the martyrs," underlining that "this path will not end except with the enemy's certain defeat and the defeat of its military leaders."

Abu Hamza called on the masses of the Palestinian people to be patient, and steadfast, and "rally around Resistance as a strategic choice to deter the occupier and repel aggression on the path of liberation and dignity."

The Palestinian official indicated that the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against innocent civilians "will only strengthen our brave people's commitment to resistance until the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine."

He confirmed that the Al-Quds Brigades and the Resistance "will fulfill our commitment to the martyrs and face the aggression with steadfastness and patience."

Abu Hamza said that "a commander will be replaced by a thousand commanders, and new knights will carry the banner and continue the path until the demise of this entity on the beloved and pure land of Palestine."

Palestinian response to Israeli aggression will be united: Shehab

For his part, the media official in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), Daoud Shehab, warned the Israeli occupation that the Palestinian response to the Israeli occupation's crime will be united.

"Let the enemy once again understand that its attempts to sow division among resistance factions will not be achieved," Shehab stressed, pointing out that the killing of 13 Palestinians means an aggression that targets every Palestinian, not just the PIJ.

The PIJ official vowed the Resistance will respond to this aggression and "continue the jihad steadfastly."

Response to heinous Israeli massacre will not be delayed: PIJ

Earlier, the PIJ held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the "treacherous and heinous terrorist massacre that exceeded all red lines and constituted a serious violation of the ceasefire."

The movement underlined that the enemy will not achieve its goals and objectives from this heinous crime, as the Resistance is united and its positions are firm.

The PIJ affirmed that it will be more determined to continue its path and perform its holy duties in resisting the enemy, adding that behind the leaders of Al-Quds Brigades are strong leaders and soldiers who preserve the covenant and the legacy, and carry the responsibility and determination to fight and drain the enemy and confront it in all arenas.
