On the Occasion of the 36th Anniversary of the Launch of the "Hamas" Movement
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the launch of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, which has been a significant and major noscript in the journey of Palestinian resistance. The Al-Qassam Brigades have shared every detail of the resistance work with Saraya Al-Quds, leading fierce operations and battles against the enemy and together, they have recorded many national achievements. They have offered a waterfall of sacrifices side by side without the fighters' resolve being broken or their steadfast positions yielding.
On this dear anniversary, we salute the fighters of the Al-Qassam Brigades, who show great valor in the battles of honor and dignity on the land of Gaza, alongside their brothers and comrades in Saraya Al-Quds and the resistance factions.
We also salute the leaders of Hamas, their heroic prisoners, and recall their righteous martyrs who ascended while committed the covenant of jihad and resistance.
As we affirm the strength of our relationship and partnership with our brothers and companions in the Hamas movement, and the solidity of this relationship based on faith and a long journey of joint jihad and work in all fields, we emphasize the unity of stance, destiny, and rank. This unity is strengthened and developed, and we will stand together against all conspiracies. All enemy attempts to impose rules, dictates, and governance models rejected by our people will fail.
Talk about overcoming Hamas and the resistance forces are illusions that will shatter on the ground. This battle, which our fighters wage with all steadfastness and determination, will not end unless the goals of the resistance and people's interests are achieved. The enemy's attempt to eliminate Hamas or Jihad will fail, and the enemy's conspiracies will be shattered against our solidity and unity. No one in this world will succeed in imposing any projects on our people.
On the anniversary of the launch of Hamas, we express our pride in the sacrifices of our people in Gaza, the West Bank, Al-Quds, and on the burning fronts of resistance from Yemen to Iraq and Lebanon.
We vow to Allah Almighty that we will proceed towards Al-Quds and towards the liberation of our land, God willing.
Indeed, it is either a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

Our forces continue to repel the attacks of the occupation's vehicles on the axes of east Shuja'iyya, Khan Younis, and the Gaza envelope.
Commander Abu Khaled, the spokesperson for the Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces (the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine), issued a military statement about the fierce confrontations being fought by the Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces and other Palestinian resistance factions, as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle. It stated:
Firstly: Our forces (Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces) continued to confront the "israeli" invasion forces in the eastern axes of Shuja'iyya, setting up numerous ambushes for them, which resulted in a wide number of enemy soldiers and officers falling between dead and wounded by our heroic comrades' bullets. This forced the enemy to acknowledge its significant losses, which have become more than it can conceal.
Secondly: Our forces (Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces) continued to fight courageously and heroically in the Khan Younis axes, especially on Street No. 5, where the enemy's vehicles are still exposed to intense fire from our forces and other resistance formations. In these axes, the enemy suffered both dead and wounded.
Thirdly: Our rocket units continued to bombard the "Gaza Envelope" areas, focusing in the recent hours on the "Kissufim" military site, where the enemy is trying to gather its forces to support its faltering units in Khan Younis.
Commander Abu Khaled, the spokesperson for the Omar Al-Qasim Forces (the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine), concluded his statement with a message to the Prime Minister of "israel" and his Minister of War, warning them against getting further entangled in the sands and swamps of the Gaza Strip. The enemy's media has started to reveal some of the losses that the official "israeli" media has been hiding, in all fronts of the battle.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
On the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the launch of the Hamas movement and amidst the blessed Al-Aqsa Flood battle, we renew our commitment to continue the resistance until the occupation is removed and to achieve our people's aspirations for liberation, return, and the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
O patient and steadfast masses of our Palestinian people, both in proud Palestine and abroad, today marks the 36th anniversary of the launch of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and we live in days of glory and pride, under the shadows of the glorious Al-Aqsa Flood battle. This battle inaugurated a new phase in our struggle with the brutal zionist occupier, who indulges in the blood of our people, denies our national rights, steals our land, and Judaizes our Islamic and Christian sanctities, including Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Al-Aqsa Flood battle is a noscript of steadfastness and resistance on the path to freedom and liberation from occupation and the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital, God willing.
Since its inception, the movement has kept the covenant of the righteous martyrs, carrying the banner of jihad and resistance to complete our people's journey towards liberation and independence. It has offered its leaders and soldiers alongside the martyrs of our people to create a free and dignified future for our patient and steadfast people. Al-Aqsa Flood is a continuation of this approach, which we will not abandon until the zionist Nazi occupation is ended.
We live the pain and suffering with our people everywhere, especially in proud Gaza, which faces a savage zionist aggression and a genocidal war targeting its existence on its land by destroying all elements of life. Yet, we will never succumb to humiliation and defeat, and this brutal enemy will not succeed in its malicious schemes. Our great people and our valiant resistance in Gaza and the West Bank remain steadfast on the land, and we will not leave it except to return to Al-Quds as the capital of our independent Palestinian state.

🟢 Hamas on the 36th anniversary of the movement (2/2):
—
We mourn the righteous martyrs of our people, pray for the speedy recovery of our wounded, and freedom for our heroic prisoners.
We affirm the following:
First: Our promise to our great Palestinian people is to remain faithful to their sacrifices, pains, and hopes. We will not abandon our duty to defend them, our land, and our sanctities. Hamas and its victorious Al-Qassam Brigades will continue to be the protective shield for the Palestinian national project and our people's aspirations for liberation, return, and independence. The Al-Aqsa Flood battle is a page of glory and pride in the history of our people's struggle against the zionist Nazi colonizer, and our resistance will continue to escalate until the occupation is gone and the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital is established, God willing.
Second: The Hamas movement is an integral part of this great people, expressing their will for freedom and independence. The movement will remain a fortress defending our people's national rights. We will accept no guardianship and will not allow the passing of any suspicious plans to circumvent our people's right to self-determination and the establishment of their fully sovereign state.
Third: The zionist occupation and President Biden's administration, with their obstinacy and arrogance, refusing all efforts and UN resolutions calling for an end to aggression, bear full responsibility for the ongoing massacres against our people and the destruction in Gaza. This historical responsibility will not expire with time, and the day will come when they will be held accountable.
Fourth: We are open to all efforts leading to stopping the aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, to the release of our prisoners in the occupation's prisons, and to forming a national reference on the path to restoring our people's national rights and establishing their independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
Fifth: We salute the steadfast and resistant Palestinian masses in proud Gaza, the West Bank, throughout Palestine, and the diaspora. We call on them to further steadfastness, solidarity, and escalation of resistance against the occupation everywhere. The occupation will be eradicated by the determination of the revolutionaries and the bravery of the heroic resistance fighters.
Sixth: We salute all the forces and parties that have stood in solidarity with our people, championed Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa, and committed to standing by the right, in the face of the occupation and the zionist project threatening Palestine and the region.
Seventh: We salute the nations of our Arab and Islamic nation and all the free people of the world who have come out in solidarity with the just cause of the Palestinian people, rejecting the massacres and aggression of the occupation in the Gaza Strip, and rejecting President Biden's administration's bias towards the new Nazis. We call on them to increase their escalating activism in support of the Palestinian people and their right to freedom and self-determination, like all peoples.
Eighth: We appreciate all Arab, Islamic, and international efforts that have sought and are seeking to stop the aggression, to aid our people in the Gaza Strip. We call on them and the international community for more political action to stop the double standards policy pursued by President Biden's administration and some Western countries biased towards the occupation, to work to end the zionist occupation threatening international peace and security, and to enable our people to exercise their inalienable national rights, no matter how long it takes.
Indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.
