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.

Statement on Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel:

 “October 7th is comparable to September 11th…the first victory of Muslims… revival of Islam and the Muslims…Muslims must abandon any ideas of peaceful coexistence with the West and must see them as an enemy…  Hatred of others, and the desire to conquer, kill, and expel them, are rooted in the faith and civil society of the Western nations, and particularly among the white man."

“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 who can get explosives or biological weapons, use them; those who can use knife or Kalashnikov, attack the unbelievers; those who can use hammers and chains should use them to crush their heads; those who cannot do these should use the weapon of writing and speaking, and even if this is not possible, then it is required by shari’a to pray.”“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...
