Hamas statement, November 21, 2023

Body

“The Nazi Israeli occupation army persists in disseminating deceptive and false narratives surrounding Zionist prisoners, such as the claim that a female soldier was killed within the said hospital premises, and her body was later discovered. It is imperative to underscore the following points:

“The Al-Qassam Brigades have unequivocally verified that the well-being of injured Zionist prisoners was meticulously monitored, and requisite medical attention was administered in hospitals before their subsequent return to their places of detention. Therefore, the Zionist military spokesperson’s contributions contribute nothing new but rather serve as a veiled attempt to mask their deceit, particularly their unfounded claim that the Hamas movement has used Al-Shifa Hospital as the command and control center.

“The same occupation army, which, as per the Zionist police investigation disclosed in the Haaretz newspaper and Hebrew media, inflicted casualties upon its citizen through aerial bombardments on October 7, is now implicated in the killing of some of its own prisoners during Zionist raids, a detailed disclosure by the Al-Qassam Brigades.

“We assert that the occupation force lacks the aptitude to conduct investigations and pass judgments, being the very aggressor responsible for committing egregious war crimes against hospitals, among others. We have repeatedly called for the establishment of an international committee to scrutinize the Israeli Nazi occupation’s fabrications regarding hospitals, now transformed into Israeli military outposts after coercively evacuating patients and medical staff at gunpoint and under duress.”Hamas Press Statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, November 21, 2023.

Statement after the Houthis seize an Israel-linked ship in the Red Sea:

“The Yemeni armed forces renew their warning to all ships belonging to the Israeli enemy or dealing with it that they will become a legitimate target for the armed forces.

“The Yemeni armed forces confirm that they will continue to carry out military operations against the Israeli enemy until the aggression against the Gaza Strip stops and the heinous crimes that continue until this moment against our Palestinian brothers in Gaza and the West Bank stop.

“They also confirm that whoever threatens the security and stability of the region and international corridors is the Zionist entity, and society. If the international community is concerned about the security and stability of the region and not expanding the conflict, it should stop the Israeli aggression against Gaza.” (Tweet)Yahya Sarea, Twitter post, November 19, 2023, 11:34 a.m., https://twitter.com/army21ye/status/1726277654544785788.

An editorial endorsing jihad after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7:

“We give nafeer [a call for universal mobilization] for every individual of the Muslim Ummah, every man and every woman to say Labbaik [yes] to the battle cry of jihad. The war against Israel and America will not be waged just in Israel and America, the entire world is the battlefield. And in this world today, no Israeli, no American, no European and non-European Zionist is safe; there is no protection for the embassies of these warring unbelievers; there is no protection for their civilians; wherever you find them, turn them into the fuel of hell.”“Al-Qaeda In The Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) Publishes Special Issue Of Its Urdu-Language Journal ‘Nawa-i-Ghazwa-e-Hind’ On Hamas’s October 7 Attack, Calls For Universal Mobilization Of Muslims: ‘Those Who Can Get Explosives Or Biological Weapons, Use Them – Those Who Can Use Knife Or Kalashnikov, Attack The Unbelievers’; ‘The Entire World Is The Battlefield...

“Those in the Axis of Resistance have seen that the mastermind is America. So they strike America under the principle of sending a message to stop. Just as Israel should stop. How does America and the rest of the world have the right to stand on the side of Israel that kills civilians and children and destroys homes while we don’t have the right to support our people and our loved ones in Palestine and the region?” Matt Bradley and Natasha Lebedeva, “Iran-backed groups threaten to expand Gaza war as they step up attacks on Israel and U.S.,” NBC News, November 7, 2023, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/hezbollah-iran-attacks-israel-gaza-war-death-toll-rcna123959.

In an interview with Lebanese journalist Marlene Khalifeh, when asked if Hamas would carry out another attack like October 7:

“Although this is a hypothetical question, I can still say that the answer is yes, since the operation was not a momentary step, but rather part of [Hamas’s] strategy which is aimed at ending Israel’s attempts to bring an end to the Palestinian cause and to build local alliances that will remove the Palestinian people from history. I believe that the greatest achievement of this operation was not just the damage inflicted to the Israeli military and its true image, but also the fact that the operation ended Israel’s ambitions to become a natural entity in the region at the expense of the Palestinian nation.”“Senior Hamas Official Osama Hamdan: If We Could Turn Back Time, We Would Carry Out The October 7 Attack On Israel All Over Again,” MEMRI, November 7, 2023, https://www.memri.org/reports/senior-hamas-official-osama-hamdan-if-we-could-turn-back-time-we-would-carry-out-october-7.

In an interview with Lebanese journalist Marlene Khalifeh, when asked about Hezbollah’s support for Hamas:

“There is no doubt that what the resistance and Hizbullah are doing in southern Lebanon is appreciated by the Palestinian people. There are daily clashes [in Lebanon] with the [Israeli] occupation, and there are martyrs. This support is not just a matter of morale – it is real support. There are dozens of martyrs, and they have families. There are [also] those who were forced to leave their homes, albeit temporarily. Everything that is happening in Lebanon is part of real support for Palestine on the part of the resistance.”“Senior Hamas Official Osama Hamdan: If We Could Turn Back Time, We Would Carry Out The October 7 Attack On Israel All Over Again,” MEMRI, November 7, 2023, https://www.memri.org/reports/senior-hamas-official-osama-hamdan-if-we-could-turn-back-time-we-would-carry-out-october-7.

In an interview with Lebanese journalist Marlene Khalifeh, when asked about the hostages captured in the October 7 attack:

“There are the captured soldiers and they will be swapped in a prisoner exchange after [Israel’s] aggression is over. They constitute most [of the prisoners]. There is a large number of them, but I won’t disclose how many. There are also people who were brought to Gaza by various means, but not by the resistance [i.e. not by Hamas itself]. Some of them have dual citizenship and some of them are foreigners. We have counted over 51 dual citizens. Under the current circumstances we cannot count all of them, since they are not in Hamas’s possession… They are not in our possession and are located throughout the Gaza Strip. Some of them are held by other forces, and some by other elements.”“Senior Hamas Official Osama Hamdan: If We Could Turn Back Time, We Would Carry Out The October 7 Attack On Israel All Over Again,” MEMRI, November 7, 2023, https://www.memri.org/reports/senior-hamas-official-osama-hamdan-if-we-could-turn-back-time-we-would-carry-out-october-7.
