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.

In reference to Hamas’s October 7 surprise attack on Israel:

“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such. Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table. This battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers. It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”Ben Hubbard and Maria Abi-Habib, “Behind Hamas’s Bloody Gambit to Create a ‘Permanent’ State of War,” New York Times, last updated November 9, 2023, https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/world/middleeast/hamas-israel-gaza-war.html.

Speaking to New Yorker magazine about Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel:

“This is the first time that the Palestinians are crossing the borders and fighting in their historic land. Israel used to wage war against us outside its borders, to kill us and imprison us. Now it’s the opposite. Now the future Israeli generations will know they can’t continue to occupy the Palestinians—they can’t continue their wars forever. This is the biggest achievement.”Adam Rasgon and David D. Kirkpatrick, “What Was Hamas Thinking?,” New Yorker, October 13, 2023, https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/what-was-hamas-thinking.

We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
