Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), is part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the military spokesperson of al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, stated on Saturday.

Abu Hamza said the Brigades fighters stand side by side with their comrades in Hamas "until victory is achieved."

The spokesperson followed up his remarks with another statement later on Saturday, saying the Resistance has achieved a new chapter of victory.

Abu Hamza added that the continuous calls for settlers to peacefully leave the territories that they had occupied went in vain.

Therefore, the Resistance had to launch this historic and resounding operation which has shown the truthfulness of the Resistance's promises, the military spokesperson said.

Abu Hamza underlined that al-Quds Brigades fighters are still deployed across several Israeli settlements alongside comrades from other Palestinian factions.

Importantly, the spokesperson emphasized that the military wing of the PIJ holds multiple Israeli occupation soldiers captive.

Abu Obeida addresses Palestinians

On his part, the military spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, said the operation "is going according to plan," adding that "Israel" will be "wonder-struck when it wakes up from its state of shock to the proportion of its losses."

He also urged Palestinians in the West Bank and al-Quds to take action against Israeli settlements and checkpoints, calling on them to make the occupation pay the price for its desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque.

Abu Obeida took a dig at Israeli settlers who chanted, "Where are the Arabs?" in al-Aqsa, saying "Here is your answer," in reference to the wide-scale operation which has resulted in at least 35 captured soldiers and settlers and continued confrontations in seven Israeli settlements since the early hours of the morning.

Finally, he stressed that the prisoner's case remains a focal point of this operation, adding that the families of Palestinian prisoners will soon receive good news.

West Bank Resistance groups call for mobilization

On its part, the West Bank-based Lions' Den announced general mobilization in conjunction with Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while al-Quds Brigades and al-Qassam Brigades in Jenin announced that they have executed a shooting operation on the Salem checkpoint near Jenin this morning.

The Resistance group also addressed the free people of the world to demonstrate in support of the operation that has been launched in response to continued Israeli aggression on the West Bank and al-Quds.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced an open war calling on all its fighters and military cells in the West Bank and 1948-occupied Palestinian territories to take action and join in on the operation.

In the same context, the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, called on members of the Palestinian Security Services to engage in the battle alongside the Palestinian people.

Furthermore, the movement called on Arab countries to stand by the Palestinian people and support them politically, diplomatically, and politically. Hamas also reiterated that freeing Palestinian prisoners from "fascist prisons" remains a priority for the Palestinian Resistance.

Earlier today, the leader of Hamas' military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, Mohammad Deif, addressed Palestinians and Resistance fighters in Palestine and the Axis of Resistance. In his speech, Deif announced the launching of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in response to the continued desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque and assaults on women worshippers by Israelis.

The first stage of the operation included a barrage of more than 5,000 rockets and shells launched toward Israeli settlements and positions, the Hamas leader said.
