The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas congratulated the Palestinian people, the nation and the free people of the world on the liberation of the first batch of female and male prisoners from the prisons of the Zionist enemy, as part of the ongoing Flood of the Free Deal.

The movement said in a statement today, Monday: "The scenes of joy of our people as they raise the victory signs, while receiving the prisoners, confirm once again the popular support for the resistance, and highlight its firm position in their conscience."

It stressed that the massive crowds of Palestinians who came out to receive the liberated prisoners, despite the enemy's repressive measures, is a declaration of defiance to the occupation, and an expression of their thirst for freedom and the liberation of the land and holy sites.

It said: "The pictures of the handover of the three female prisoners of the enemy showed them in full physical and psychological health, while our male and female prisoners showed signs of neglect and exhaustion; which embodies the great difference between the values and ethics of the resistance and the barbarism and fascism of the occupation."

It added: "We stand in these historic moments, in reverence and appreciation, for the sacrifices of our great people in Gaza and our victorious resistance; which has proven that it will not forget its prisoners and free women in the dungeons of the Zionist criminality." She renewed the pledge of loyalty to the prisoners with complete freedom, on the path to liberating the land of Palestine and its holy sites and defeating the fascist occupation.
