Gaza – Saba:
Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson of al-Qassam Brigades, has renewed his salute to the steadfast and sincere position of the Yemeni people and their armed forces in support of Palestine, Gaza, and its fighters. He praised their ability to establish an effective front against the Israeli enemy.
In a video statement broadcasted by Al Jazeera on Friday, Abu Obeida said: “We extend our greetings to our dear and blessed people in Yemen—the land of wisdom and faith—to its armed forces, and to the sincere brothers of Ansarullah who astonished the world with their unwavering stance and true commitment to Palestine, Gaza, its people, and fighters. They have imposed an active front on the enemy.”
He emphasized that Yemen’s stance had exposed the inaction of major Arab and Islamic regimes, parties, and forces, which he said had failed to support the most sacred cause of the Arab and Muslim world.
“Over the past months, we have inflicted hundreds of casualties on the enemy’s soldiers, leaving many more psychologically scarred. The number of suicides among their troops is increasing due to the horrors of what they do and what they face from our resistance, strengthened by God’s support,” he said.
Abu Obeida stated that al-Qassam fighters have employed new tactics and strategies, conducting unique operations, targeting Israeli vehicles with explosives, engaging in direct combat, sniping soldiers and officers, and attacking buildings, tunnels, and ambush points.
He stressed that al-Qassam leadership is currently focused on inflicting significant losses on Israeli enemy troops, launching close-range operations, and attempting to capture enemy soldiers.
“After 21 months of al-Aqsa Flood battle and the brutal Zionist war, our fighters and fellow resistance factions are fully prepared for a prolonged war of attrition, no matter the shape of the enemy’s aggression,” he said.
“Our fight is a sacred duty, a right that is not up for debate. We will fight with determination, armed with faith, even if all we have are the stones of the earth. Our men, with limited weapons, perform miracles by the grace of God,” he added.
He revealed that Israel's government does not prioritize its captured soldiers, having conditioned its public to accept their deaths. Yet, he affirmed Hamas’ efforts to preserve them for a potential exchange.
Abu Obeida reaffirmed Hamas’ support for the resistance’s negotiating team in indirect talks with the Occupation, saying they offered a full prisoner exchange deal. However, Netanyahu and his ministers rejected it.
He warned that if the Occupation continues to reject agreements, Hamas might not return to partial deals or the current "ten prisoners" proposal.
Abu Obeida condemned the occupation's use of collective punishment and war crimes, supported openly by the U.S. administration. He said, “If the enemy continues its genocide, it will keep receiving the corpses of its soldiers. Their tanks won’t save them from the fire sent by faithful hands.”
He held Arab and Islamic leaders responsible for the bloodshed in Gaza, accusing them of failing their duty. “You will be held accountable before God for every orphan, widow, refugee, and wounded person. Your silence enabled the enemy.”
He noted that four months had passed since the Occupation entity resumed its aggression in violation of a previous agreement. The Zionist campaign has focused on the destruction of civilian areas and targeting of innocents.
Reflecting on 21 months of aggression, Abu Obeida described the resilience of the Palestinian people as legendary, while shaming Arab regimes for their betrayal. He praised the few honest fighters, the oppressed peoples, and global activists who stand with Palestine.
He mocked the Occupation "Operation Gideon’s Chariots," saying it was based on religious myths, while al-Qassam responded with "David’s Stones" operations, inspired by Prophet David’s triumph over Goliath.
Abu Obeida affirmed unity with all Palestinian resistance factions, especially Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades, in fighting a highly unequal battle with faith and courage.
He saluted global activists trying to break the siege and support Gaza, despite danger and betrayal from hypocrites within the Arab world.
He warned that using Arab-named collaborators was a sign of Israel's desperation, calling on them to repent before it's too late. He praised Palestinian tribes disowning traitors, affirming they do not represent the people.
“Your patience and defiance enrages the enemy more than anything else. Victory will come. After hardship, there is ease,” he said.
Abu Obeida concluded with a Quranic verse promising joy to believers in the victory of Allah, calling for continued resistance until liberation is achieved.
