Reject all Zionist schemes: Hamas to global Muslim Nation

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas calls on the global Muslim community, including the Palestinian one, to reject all of the Israeli regime’s schemes against it.

The movement passed the remarks in a statement on Monday, marking the anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s appointment as God’s last messenger.

According to Hamas, the occasion serves as “a call to reject all Zionist schemes targeting them (the Muslim Nation) and to support the steadfastness” of Palestinians in the holy occupied city of al-Quds -- which they seek as the capital of their future state.

The occasion also calls for admiration of “those stationed at al-Aqsa [Mosque] by all means,” the group added, referring to those defying the Israeli regime’s restrictions against Muslim prayers at the mosque, which serves as the third-holiest site among the world’s Muslims.

‘Israel can’t erase Arab, Islamic identify’

Hamas also asserted that “the fascist occupation will fail to erase the Arab and Islamic identity of al-Quds and al-Aqsa or to alter historical and factual realities” concerning the dual locations.

Tel Aviv’s doomed efforts at doing so, it noted, featured “schemes of temporal and spatial division, excavations, provocative incursions, and crimes against worshipers and those stationed there, including killing, displacement, detention, and banishment,” the movement reminded.

On al-Aqsa Storm

Elsewhere in the statement, Hamas hailed the fighters of the movement and its fellow Gaza-based resistance groups’ Operation al-Aqsa Storm, which was launched on October 7, 2023.

The operation saw the fighters venturing deep into the occupied Palestinian territories, taking the Israeli military by surprise, and ensnaring 240 Zionists.

Palestinian fighters launch an extensive retaliatory attack against Israeli military sites on the first anniversary of their historic Operation al-Aqsa Storm.

The regime responded to the operation, which served as an instance of retaliation against Tel Aviv’s decades-long campaign of deadly occupation and aggression against Palestinians, by taking Gaza under a genocidal war.

Hamas commended the operation that lasted out throughout the war’s entire 15-month-long span, as one of the remarkable achievements of the Palestinian people’s legendary steadfastness and the courage of their resistance.

“This battle culminated in halting aggression, liberating convoys of our heroic prisoners and valiant female captives from the prisons of the Zionist enemy, and enabling displaced families to return to their homes.”

Resistance forced Israel to open doors of cells to 'heroic prisoners': Hamas

Hamas says 200 Palestinian prisoners serving long and life sentences are being released after it handed over four Israeli detainees.

The movement was referring to the regime’s agreeing to a ceasefire deal with Hamas earlier in the month, succumbing to Palestinians’ unyielding and successful strikes.

The group concluded the statement by pledging to continue the path of resistance and loyalty to sacrifices until full liberation of al-Quds, al-Aqsa, and realization of Palestinians’ right to return to their homeland.
