The Hamas Movement rejects the allegations contained in the U.S. Department of State's statement and completely denies the claims directed against it regarding an imminent attack or violation of the ceasefire agreement. These false allegations fully align with the misleading Israeli propaganda and provide cover for the continuation of the occupation's crimes and organized aggression against our people.

The facts on the ground reveal the exact opposite, the occupation authorities are the ones who formed, armed, and funded criminal gangs that carried out killings, kidnappings, theft of aid trucks, and assaults against Palestinian civilians. They have publicly admitted their crimes through media and video clips, confirming the occupation's involvement in spreading chaos and disrupting security.

The movement affirms that the police forces in Gaza, with broad popular and community support, are fulfilling their national duty in pursuing and holding these gangs accountable through clear legal mechanisms, protecting citizens and preserving public and private property.

The movement calls on the U.S. administration to stop repeating the occupation's misleading narrative and to focus on curbing its repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement, foremost among them supporting these gangs and providing them safe havens within areas under its control.

We reaffirm our full commitment to implementing all agreed-upon terms, especially the ceasefire across all areas of the Gaza Strip. We have no knowledge of any incidents or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, as it is part of the red zones under the occupation’s control.

Communication has been completely cut off with the remaining units of ours there since the resumption of the war in March of this year. We have no information on whether they have been martyred or are still alive since that time.

Accordingly, we are not responsible for any incidents occurring in those areas, as we are unable to communicate with any of our mujahideen there if any of them remain alive.
