“We send a message of blessing, pride and praise to the men of the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades and all the heroes of the Palestinian resistance who continue to poke the noses of the officers and soldiers of the occupation army and insult their faces, and make their leaders pay the price for their occupation of our land, and the price for their crimes against our people, our land and our sanctities.”

“The Nazi occupation’s marketing, in partnership with the American administration, of what is called ‘the transition to the third phase of the war’ comes in the context of false and exposed black propaganda by our people and our resistance, and a desperate attempt to pass it off as an achievement at the expense of the blood of our people, in light of the continuation of all forms of massacres and crimes against our people.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, January 10, 2024.

“The prisoners of the Zionist enemy held by the resistance will not return alive to their families, unless Netanyahu and his war leaders respond to the conditions of the resistance, the first of which is a comprehensive and complete cessation of their aggression against the Gaza Strip.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, January 10, 2024.

Statement entitled, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them”:

“Monotheism is the goal, and jihad is the path…the war with the Jews will not end in a one-state solution or two-state solution, as nationalists believe. It is a religious ideological war that will continue until we kill their antichrist under the banner of the Prophet of Allah… tighten the plans and diversify operations: Blow them up with explosives, burn them with incendiary bombs, shoot them with bullets, slaughter their necks with knives, and run them over with buses.”“Islamic State (ISIS) Spokesman Instructs Muslims To Renew Lone Wolf Attacks In U.S., Europe, In Support Of Gaza; Discredits Palestinian Factions For Their Alliance With Iran, Calls On Arabs To Rebel Against Their Rulers,” Middle East Media Research Institute, January 4, 2024, https://www.memri.org/jttm/islamic-state-isis-spokesman-instructs-muslims-renew-lone-wolf-attacks-us-europe-support-gaza#_edn2.

Statement entitled, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them”:

“Lions of Islam: Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on. Understand that you are the arm of the Islamic State hitting in the kuffar’s homelands, and are avenging the Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Sham, and other Muslim countries… Intentionally seek easy targets before hard ones, civilian targets before military one, religious targets like synagogues and churches before others, for this will satisfy the soul and will demonstrate the characteristics of the battle, as our battle with them is a religious one and we kill them wherever we come upon them in response to Allah Almighty’s command.”Abu Ḥudhayfah, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them,” Halummu, January 4, 2024.

“The American administration’s endorsement of selling high-caliber artillery ammunition to the Zionist occupation entity amid the war of extermination conducted by its terrorist army against civilians in the Gaza Strip, and Secretary Blinken’s affirming the urgent provision of these ammunitions without Congress review, is a clear evidence of the American administration’s full sponsorship of this criminal war.

“The Biden administration conspicuously aligns itself with and actively supports all atrocities perpetrated by the occupation, encompassing the ruthless killing of children and civilians, forced displacement of residents, and the systematic destruction of civilian life in the Gaza Strip.

“We call on all nations across the globe, especially those supported ending the Zionist fascist aggression against the children and defenseless civilians in the United Nations General Assembly, to expose the unjust and criminal policies of the American administration. We implore them to take a resolute stand against these policies and lend their support to our Palestinian people’s pursuit of freedom and self-determination.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 30, 2023.

In response to an IRGC statement that the October 7 Hamas attack was part of a retaliation for the 2020 assassination of IRGC Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani:

“We have repeatedly confirmed the motives and reasons for the operation of the Flood of al-Aqsa, and foremost are the dangers that threaten al-Aqsa Mosque. We also confirm that all acts of Palestinian resistance come in response to the Zionist occupation and its ongoing aggression against our people and our holy sites.”Jerusalem Post staff and Reuters, “October 7 massacre was retaliation for Soleimani killing, Iran says – report,” Jerusalem Post, December 27, 2023, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-779705.
