We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcome the final statement issued by the 33rd Arab Summit held in the brotherly Kingdom of Bahrain, which confirmed the firm and steadfast Arab support for our people's aspirations for liberation and independence, and its rejection of the zionist aggression and attempts to displace our people through the genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the criminal zionist entity in the Gaza Strip.

We call on the brotherly Arab states to take the necessary measures to oblige the occupation to stop its aggression, withdraw its army from the entire Gaza Strip, including the Rafah crossing, lift the siege, ensure the return of the displaced, and carry out reconstruction.

We express our regret over what was mentioned inthe statement of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Mahmoud Abbas, during the Arab summit held in Manama, regarding the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the course of internal reconciliation. We affirm that the zionist enemy, which has been killing, terrorizing, and oppressing our defenseless people for more than seventy-six years in Gaza, the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied interior, does not wait for excuses to commit its crimes against our people throughout all stages and phases of the national struggle since 1948.

The Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7th constituted the most significant chapter in our people's struggle against the occupation that violates our rights and sanctities and oppresses our prisoners. This operation has brought our Palestinian cause back to the forefront of priorities and achieved strategic gains that tarnish the face of this entity and bring us closer to freedom and self-determination.

The movement has repeatedly emphasized its commitment to achieving national unity and has demonstrated the necessary flexibility at all stages to strengthen our internal front and unify the national ranks in facing the dangers besetting our cause and people. This was expressed by the movement in the recent meetings held in Moscow and Beijing.

—
In light of the "israeli" occupation army's incursion and complete blockade of Jabalia camp from the eastern and southern sides, we are receiving dozens of pleas from the residents of Beit Hanoun, who have been stranded for the fifth consecutive day after the occupation forces infiltrated and surrounded them from the entrance of Beit Hanoun and have invaded Jabalia camp.

Thousands of citizens currently in Beit Hanoun have not received any food, water, or basic necessities since the beginning of the military operation on Jabalia camp. They are completely besieged within the city, and they are suffering from the heavy shelling and intense gunfire on the eastern side of Jabalia camp, which has resulted in injuries without any medical points or hospitals to treat them in the city after the occupation army destroyed the Beit Hanoun City Hospital.

We hold the occupation responsible for the lives of these citizens, including thousands of children and women, and we call on the international community and relief organizations to act to save them, end their siege, and stop the crime being committed by the occupation army in Jabalia camp, which has resulted in dozens of martyrs and wounded, the demolition of entire residential blocks, and the destruction of public facilities and service institutions.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcomes the hearings at the International Court of Justice regarding the request made by South Africa for additional measures concerning the ongoing aggression and genocide against our people. We consider this an important step towards criminalizing the occupying entity, which has ignored previous court decisions and continued its aggression against our people.

We highly appreciate South Africa's stance on following the details of the zionist genocide against our people and its insistence on activating international justice to ensure the entity ceases its practices against our people, which aligns with the statement by the President of the Court, affirming that the precautionary measures demanded by the court have not addressed the repercussions of the zionist genocide against our people, necessitating further court decisions to oblige the occupation to stop the aggression, withdraw its army from the entire Gaza Strip, and open crossings for aid to enter without obstacles.

We call to all our fighters in the field: be prepared in the field as the hour of action has come again. Let this occupation and all its allies know that the covenant of the Brigades is still present in the field and that the bullets and roar of the Brigades will ignite the ground in the face of this oppressive occupation and its allies.

The bullets of the Brigade's rifles will be present, and our messages will pain the occupation and its allies.

🚨 The Government Media Office in Gaza published a list of 104 martyred scientists, academics, university professors, and researchers killed by the IOF in the #Gaza Strip since October 7th during the ongoing genocide.

The full list is available here.
The Government Media Office stated:
—
The "israeli" occupation army killed and assassinated more than 100 scientists, academics, university professors, and researchers during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing for the eighth consecutive month in a clear message aimed at completely eradicating scientists and researchers in the educational sector. In addition, the occupation has completely destroyed more than 103 universities and schools, and partially destroyed 311 universities and schools.

We strongly condemn the assassination of scientists, academics, university professors, and researchers by the occupation, a distinguished group in Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip. We call on all universities and educational sectors in all countries of the world to condemn this crime, which is part of the genocide.

We hold the "israeli" occupation and the American administration fully responsible for this historical crime. The occupation kills and assassinates scientists, and the American administration is involved in the genocide, contributing to the continuation of this war that has claimed more than 120,000 victims, including martyrs, injured, missing, and detainees.

We call on the free countries of the world and all organizations related to education and higher education worldwide to condemn this historical crime and to exert pressure on the occupation to stop the genocide against students, schools, universities, scientists, professors, researchers, and the educational process in general.

One massacre in Gaza should have been enough to move the human conscience and issue strong stances to seek to prevent genocide.

The Americans play a primary role in the war of starvation and genocide with their deadly and destructive bombs.

In the war of starvation, Americans arranged the plan to target the Rafah crossing and provided all forms of support to the "israeli" enemy.

The "israeli" enemy seeks to inflict the most severe suffering on Palestinians, reflecting the enemy’s criminal tendency.

Many Palestinian families have been displaced more than five times during the aggression, under the watchful eyes of the international community and its organizations.

The tragedy in Gaza coincided this week with the 76th anniversary of the Nakba when Britain enabled Jews to occupy Palestine.

Despite the false titles of Western countries during the occupation of Palestine, they did not stand against the brutal crimes but provided support to the zionists.

Britain and America played a fundamental role in the genocide and displacement during the occupation of Palestine, the largest ethnic cleansing operation in the twentieth century.

Over the past 76 years since the Nakba, crimes against the Palestinian people have continued amid Arab negligence and American support for the Jews.

What is happening today in Gaza is a repetition of the criminal scene during the Nakba with the superiority of the capabilities the enemy has today, along with American support.

The Palestinian steadfastness and the perseverance of the fighters in this phase are greater than at any other time in Palestinian history.

We hope for the continuation of student protests in America and the West during the summer holidays as long as the aggression on Gaza continues.

The steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance factions frustrates the "israeli" enemy and has significant and impactful results at this critical stage.

The Americans designed the plan and method for the "israeli" ground aggression towards Rafah.

The return of fighting to Jabalia and Al-Zaytoun neighborhoods at this crucial stage proves the failure of the "israeli" enemy.

In some camps, the fighting returned for the fifth time, and each time the "israeli" enemy announced it had concluded the battle there.

The active presence, bravery, and infliction of heavy losses on the "israeli" enemy by the fighters disproves the claims of eliminating or dismantling them.

The fighters in Gaza continue to inflict painful losses on the enemy, targeting 70 vehicles within a week.

The fighters in Gaza are gaining more experience than ever before, with highly effective and well-planned tactics.

The longer the aggression lasts, the greater the failure for the enemy, and their inevitable defeat awaits them in the end.

Any escalation steps towards Rafah mean escalating support fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.

The Lebanese front carried out many effective and punitive operations against the enemy this week.

The Lebanese front is of great importance as it is a direct front, and its impact extended from northern Palestine to the reality of the enemy in general.

The Iraqi front has returned to escalation, and we commend this direction, hoping for more effectiveness.

On the Yemeni front, in the Battle of the Promised Conquest and the Sacred Jihad, 40 operations were carried out against the zionist enemy with 211 missiles.

Seven operations were carried out this week with 13 ballistic, winged, and drone missiles in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean.

This week, operations began towards the Mediterranean Sea with two operations.

Attacks on American ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden amounted to more than 100 attacks with missiles and drones.

The Americans, "israelis," and British seek to change their routes in the Indian Ocean by moving eastward, adding higher costs for them.

The further the Americans, "israelis," and British move away, the more they contribute to the development of missile and drone range.

The fourth phase of escalation is significant as it targets ships of all companies transporting goods to the "israeli" enemy towards any port.

Companies transporting goods to the Israeli enemy will have their ships targeted wherever Yemeni army capabilities can reach.

Countries and companies with a positive stance, understanding the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden phase, stopped transporting for the "israeli" enemy through this route. Those countries and companies clearly understand that Yemen’s humanitarian and legitimate stance is linked to what is happening in Gaza.

It is in the interest of all companies to stop transporting for the "israeli" enemy towards the Mediterranean Sea or in any direction.

We will seek to strengthen the fourth phase of escalation in terms of momentum and strike power.

The enemies are trying to form multiple protective belts for themselves and their ships in the Mediterranean Sea and the long-range area.

Just as they failed previously to possess interception capabilities in the previous operation theater, they will fail in the fourth phase, God willing.

Work continues to surpass their technologies and overcome the multiple, intensive belts; all their efforts will fail, and we will be able to overcome them, God willing.

The continuation of "israeli" aggression, siege, and incursion into Rafah necessitates further escalation in all support fronts.

We hope, God willing, that our Iraqi brothers will join us in the fourth phase.

We will spare no effort from the Yemeni front to strengthen the fourth phase and prepare for the fifth phase and beyond.

Popular activities and military mobilization are very active, with more than 300,000 trainees involved. There is an increase in military mobilization by 13,959 trainees, aiming to reach half a million trainees, God willing. The military maneuvers associated with the mobilization reached 735 exercises.

The weekly commitment of our people to the million-person marches with awareness and a sense of responsibility to support the Palestinian people uniquely compared to any other people is very significant and great.
