Last night, the Holy Family Latin Church in Gaza City held a mass on the eve of Easter Sunday, holding the ceremony in darkness due to the lack of power.
Father Youssef As'ad presided over the mass, joined by Christian Gazans who have been displaced to the church since the beginning of zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that in December 2023, a mother and her daughter were martyred, and 7 others were wounded, by the bullets of IOF snipers outside the courtyard of the church. Others have been martyred by bullets or lack of medicine and the siege.
The oldest church in Gaza, the Saint Porphyrios Church for the Greek Orthodox, which is also in Gaza City, was bombed by the IOF in October 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 18 displaced people. Since then, the church continues to be used as a refuge and a makeshift hospital.
Additionally, the Al-Maamadani (Baptist) Hospital of the Anglican Episcopal Church south of Gaza City was bombed on October 17th, 2023, in the bloodiest massacre in Palestine since the Nakba.
At least 3 churches in the Gaza Strip have been damaged by IOF bombing. With fewer than 1,000 Christians left in Gaza—separated from Easter processions in Bethlehem, where Palestinians face restrictions as well—the world's oldest Christian community faces a real threat of extinction due to the IOF's indiscriminate bombing.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of the steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy.”
We, in the Saraya Al-Quds - Beit Ummar groups, refuse to tolerate any tampering with the dignity of our fighters, whether it be in Al-Khalil, Jenin, Tulkarem, or any area in the West Bank. We absolutely reject any attack on our groups.
What happened in the city of Tulkarem yesterday is a natural response, and this is just the beginning. Anyone who attempts to tamper with us will open the gates of fire upon themselves. We call upon the Security Forces of the traitor Mahmoud Abbas’s Authority not to pursue us or attempt to arrest any of our fighters in the West Bank, for there will be a response to every attempt you make, and we will not show mercy to you. You will be treated just like the occupation, with an iron fist: a strike for a strike, kidnapping for kidnapping, gunfire for gunfire. O Allah I have transmitted [the message], O Allah so be my witness, and those who have warned are excused.
To our fighters in the steadfast town of Beit Ummar, we urge you to respond to any attempt made by the shameful Authority’s Security Forces. Do not show mercy to them, for they are allies of the occupation.

🟢 Hamas leader Osama Hamdan to Al-Jazeera:
—
There is no talk so far about any new round of negotiations.
We want answers regarding the cessation of aggression, withdrawal from Gaza, return of the displaced, and the reconstruction of Gaza.
The occupation has not presented any commitments in its responses, and its answers were an attempt to stall.
We appreciate the efforts of the mediators, but the "israeli" side is trying to obstruct the negotiations.
If "israeli" obstinacy continues, the mediators' efforts will face a dead end.
The "israeli" side only wants to recover its prisoners and continue the aggression in an open-ended manner.
The American position is still contributing to covering up "israeli" intransigence.
We reject any aggressive move towards Rafah and are in no way going to accept this.
We are making efforts to prevent aggression on Rafah, but the resistance is ready for confrontation.
If the occupation continues its aggression, the resistance is ready to confront it.
The demand is to end the aggression and the occupation, and it is our right to establish a sovereign state with Al-Quds as its capital.
Any attempt to leverage an Arab role to confront the Palestinians and their hopes will not be successful.

For the second day, tens of thousands of settlers are protesting, this time outside the Knesset in #AlQuds, to demand a prisoner exchange deal with the resistance and the overthrow of the Netanyahu government.
As the start date for ultra-Orthodox conscription into the IOF looms, violent confrontations simultaneously broke out between Orthodox settlers and zionist forces in "Mea Shearim" in #AlQuds.

🚨🇵🇸 The Popular and Tribal Committee for Securing Aid in the Gaza and North Governorates:
—
Mercy for the martyrs, healing for the wounded, and freedom for the prisoners
O our people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and free people of the world, in light of the continued direct targeting by the "israeli" occupation army of the popular and tribal committees while they were securing aid trucks on Salah al-Din Road, Kuwait Roundabout, and over several days, the occupation targeted the popular and tribal committees resulting in more than 70 of our people martyred and dozens injured.
After consultations among the families, we affirm the following:
1. It has become unbearable to witness children, women, the elderly, and the sick dying due to the famine caused by the occupation.
2. The initiative of the families to secure the arrival of aid to its rightful recipients came in the absence of UN institutions, especially the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the World Food Programme, exclusively.
3. The initiative of the families to secure aid was based on meetings with UN institutions and international organizations and the calls of our people for modest help.
4. The initiative came after several massacres conducted by the occupation on the Sea Road and Salah Al-Din Road against citizens waiting for aid.
5. The occupation caused chaos and famine due to its refusal to allow international institutions, especially the Red Cross, UNRWA, and the World Food Programme, to operate in the Gaza and North Gaza Governorates.
Therefore, the families, mukhtars, and notables have decided the following:
1. To stop the popular and tribal committees from securing aid due to the ongoing aggression by the occupation against them.
2. To demand the United Nations to work on reinstating UNRWA and enabling refugees, the World Food Programme, and the Red Cross to operate in the Gaza and North Gaza Governorates.
3. We call upon the United Nations for a comprehensive relief program that covers the needs of families in terms of quantity and quality.
