"And do not think of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [fighters] who have not yet joined them from behind them, that there is no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. They receive good tidings of favor from Allah and bounty, and [the fact] that Allah does not waste the reward of the believers."
With great pride and honor, we exalt to the highest the martyr hero who watered the soil of Beit Ummar with his pure blood, and inscribed in all lines the greatest epics whose echoes resonate in the soul of every free and honorable person,
He is the martyr and hero: Nihal Ziad Mohammad Abu Ayyash
Peace upon you when you fought, peace upon you when you fell, and peace upon you when you were martyred.
Yes, we have lost a martyr, but this is what you wished for, and what we, and every free and honorable Palestinian, wish for.
From our beginning, we know that we are martyrs in waiting, and this only strengthens our resolve and steadfastness against this brutal enemy.
We swear by the One who made the oath that the blood of our martyrs will not be in vain, but will be fire and hell upon our enemy. They will not enjoy life as long as we breathe. This is our vengeance for the blood of our martyrs in Palestine, from its river to its sea.
Blood for blood, O sons of Zion.
We affirm that this heinous crime will not go unpunished or unaccounted for, and our fighters will exert all their strength to retaliate against these crimes against our sons and people.
May Allah have mercy on our martyr Nihal Abu Ayyash and grant us and him the highest paradise, God willing. Congratulations to you for the martyrdom.

The aggression that took place today on southern Lebanon, as a result of which a number of civilians and children were martyred, cannot pass without a response at all. There will undoubtedly be a response, and this response will be at the required and appropriate level.
If some imagine that it can achieve goals and objectives that they failed to achieve in 2006 or during the years of equations between 2006 and 2023, we tell them that they are mistaken once again. The enemy will not be able to achieve any of these goals while we remain this strong and capable resistance present on all fronts.

🚨 Zionist sources report that loud explosions were heard in occupied Haifa, northern Palestine, without the sounding of sirens.
Zionist media reports that the loud explosions heard over Haifa were caused by the attempted interception of an "unidentified object."
At 10:30 AM this morning, the IOF bombed a vehicle on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City, leading to the martyrdom of writer, journalist, researcher, and analyst Ayman Al-Rifati and two others.
He had written not long ago on his Facebook page, "Indeed, victory comes with patience.. Indeed, with hardship comes ease."
Ayman was a distinguished writer, a member of the board of directors of the Regional Studies Center in Palestine and contributor to Al-Mayadeen, Al-Jazeera, and others.
Just today, his final article was released, "What did the entity's 'army' lose in Al-Aqsa Flood?," highlighting how the IOF's brutality and criminality in Gaza has created a generation opposed to the entity's existence.
He notes how Al-Aqsa Flood has qualitatively changed the entity and its defeated army, which failed to rebuild its image after its defeat at the hands of the resistance on October 7th, nor achieve any goals of the war. Ayman describes the zionists' varied and multi-layered losses—tactical and strategic, domestic and international—which have eroded the entity's cohesion along with its strength.
Ayman added how confidence has been lost in the zionist military and its capabilities by the military and politicians due to repeated military losses (tens of thousands dead, wounded, or psychologically affected, in addition to 1,500 military vehicles lost), demonstrating its absolute incapacity without American and Western military and political support. They fear dismissals, trials, and prosecution on the international level for their war crimes. This fear is exacerbated by the apparent ineffectiveness of the "Iron Dome" and "David's Sling," leading to a collapse in public confidence.
Ayman describes how the IOF has lost its image, described as criminal, unethical, and Nazi-like, committing genocide against civilians, including journalists, and facing trials in courts. This has created an entire generation hostile to the entity, a generation ready to mercilessly break its power, refusing to coexist.

This despicable enemy has no power against us as men in the battlefield, the battlefield which [the enemy] specified its location, and the field from which they commanded people to evacuate. And the people did evacuate. And we came for [the enemy] in the place that they evacuated.
"But this cowardly and criminal enemy goes and kills our children in their homes— their safe homes—our wives, our women, our children, and the children of the people, the children of the society.

"However, we as fighters are here in the battlefield. Come. Let us show you how to deal with men, by Allah's will.
"This enemy lies. And it deceives people by claiming that it bombs homes to kill Hamas leaders and Al-Qassam fighters. Al-Qassam fighters, here they are, all of them are in their advanced combat readiness, awaiting the enemy in the places that the enemy commanded the evacuation of."
