“We condemn in the strongest terms the announcement by the US administration and the British government to impose sanctions on leading figures and cadres in Hamas movement. We consider this measure to be part of the collusion of the American and British governments with the Zionist entity in its aggression against our people and the demonization of its legitimate resistance.

“This unjust decision, which is based on false claims and incitement by the Zionist entity, will not deter the Hamas movement from continuing its duty to defend the legitimate national rights of our Palestinian people.

“We call on the American administration and the British government to review their aggressive policies towards our Palestinian people and to stop their biased policy towards the criminal Zionist side that is committing the most heinous crimes against our people, our land, and our Islamic and Christian holy sites.”Hamas statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 13, 2023.

“The Zionist occupation’s staged theatrics, featuring unarmed civilians in Gaza, having been detained and surrounded by placed weapons, represent a desperate and transparent ploy.

“The occupation’s claims linking these unarmed detainees to the Al-Qassam Brigades lack authenticity and are steeped in falsehood, failing to garner any credence within the realm of truth and reality. Such proclamations are mere illusions that find no purchase in the discerning minds of those observing. The occupiers are ill-acquainted with the indomitable spirit of the resistance heroes emerging unexpectedly from unconventional quarters, consistently fortifying their positions against incursions, ensuring the Israeli soldiers and their commanders pay the price, and steadfastly targeting settlements. They are the fighters for nation and the cause of Allah, unfamiliar with the concepts of surrender or defeat. Their enduring motto remains: ‘It is Jihad, we are either destined for victory or martyrdom.’”Hamas statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 10, 2023.

“The militants of the Alqassam brigades succeeded in foiling an Israeli attempt to free an Israeli captive, whereas they uncovered the Israeli special force as it was sneaking into the middle area of the Gaza strip. A fierce gunfight broke out between the Alqassam militants and the Israeli special force, leaving many soldiers wounded while the captive Israeli soldier, Saer Baroukh 25 years old with the ID 207775032, was announced killed. In addition to that, Alqassam militants gained a rifle and a communication device belongs to the Israeli soldiers. As a result, the Israeli war planes targeted the whole area with heavy airstrikes in order to let  the special force find a way out.”Hamas statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 8, 2023.

“We announce that a number of our Zionist captives were killed and injured in a barbaric bombing carried out by the Zionist occupation on several areas of Gaza City.”Hamas statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, 8, 2023.
