<blockquote>
<h3><span>The military spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida
said in a video statement on Friday that Palestinian Resistance
continues to inflict heavy losses on the Israeli army in Gaza in ways
unprecedented in the history of the Palestinian struggle.</span></h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Abu Obeida also said that the Brigades are not interested in
refuting in detail the Israeli army’s allegations and lies in the field,
as Israel has now lost all credibility, even among its own people. </span></p>
<p><span>He said that the Israeli military’s statements and figures
about the destruction of the Resistance in Gaza are mere propaganda, and
that in the near and distant future the accounts of the Resistance will
prove to be the full truth. </span></p>
<p><span>Below are selected highlights from Abu Obeida’s speech It was
translated and shared by the Resistance News Network Telegram Channel.
It is published here in its original form. </span></p>
<h4><strong>‘Zionist American War’ </strong></h4>
<blockquote><p><span>“133 days have passed since the beginning of the
Al-Aqsa Flood battle, which has changed and will change the face of the
region and marked since the morning of October 7, 2023, the beginning of
the end and the decline for the longest and last occupation in
contemporary history, witnessing its breakdown, disfigurement, and
exposure. </span></p>
<p><span>“O our people, O our nation, for the fifth month in a row, the
Palestinian resistance in Gaza, our steadfast and enduring people, faces
a Zionist American war that is still incapable in front of a great and
generous people who face massacres and horrific slaughters but does not
know breaking. </span></p>
<p><span>“How can they defeat a people whose children teach the
incapacitated adults lessons in manhood, whose women are like Khansaa,
producing generations that make men, and whose resistance is the legend
of the age and the icon of time in fighting, heroism, and giving?</span></p>
<p><span>“How will they defeat a people whose resistance lives in their
heart, shares their suffering, pain, and hope, sacrifices their dearest
ones, and offers leaders and soldiers in the path of Allah and in the
cause of freedom, defending the holiest of sanctities and the greatest
of causes?</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span>“The fighters in Al-Qassam Brigades and the
Palestinian resistance continue to face the criminal Nazi army, which
has no parallel in contemporary history in its sadism, barbarism, and
detestable racist ideology, inflicting unprecedented losses on the enemy
army in the history of our people’s revolution.</span></p>
<p><span>“Our fighters destroy their vehicles and armored vehicles,
besiege their heavily armed soldiers supported by tanks, aircraft, and
warships, trap them in tight ambushes, snipe their officers in
professional operations, and attack their soldier hordes at point-blank
range.</span></p>
<p><span>“Whenever the enemy thinks it has become safe in a scorched
area of the land, our fighters emerge from where they are least expected
in quality operations and fight with the help, support, and success
granted by Allah.</span></p>
<p><span>“Concurrently, the battles with our nation’s fighters and its
resistance forces continue on all fronts and are expanding and
intensifying in the face of the enemy’s arrogance, haughtiness, and
brutal Nazi aggression. </span></p>
<p><span>“We do not wish to elaborate on the operations of the Al-Qassam
Brigades as we announce them in real-time around the clock, and the
field conditions for some of our fighters in combat engagements delay
the announcement of some missions. However, what we broadcast of
announcements and scenes is part of what our fighters have executed and
are executing in the field. We prefer to delay and not announce some
operations and not broadcast some scenes for security reasons and
complex field conditions.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span>“We in the Al-Qassam Brigades affirm that our
fighters in all areas of Zionist infiltration and aggression in the
north, center, and south of the Gaza Strip are engaging in heroic
battles with different tactics and appropriate weapons based on the size
of the Zionist incursion and the battlefield fortification, according
to field assessments that determine the weapon and nature of the attacks
in each quality operation to ensure confirmed losses among the enemy
forces.</span></p>
<p><span>“The occupation claims alleged achievements in the battlefield
and continues to announce an imagined eradication of military brigades;
this disintegrating, conflicted, crisis-ridden enemy is not trusted by
its closest friends, not believed even by its allies, and cannot
convince its audience despite all its lies that it has achieved victory
or will achieve victory or achieve its goals. </span></p>
<p><span>“Briefly, we say that what the enemy releases of statements,
numbers, and information is lying propaganda, and what it broadcasts of
images that exaggerate imaginary achievements is in the same context,
and much of what the enemy announces and broadcasts is fabricated and
concocted for internal and moral purposes. So, let the criminal lying
enemy say what it wants and promote to its deluded audience who will
realize and come to know the lies of its leadership.</span></p>
<p><span>“The battlefield remains open, and the truths are drawn, and
the coming days and the near and distant future, God willing, will prove
the illusion, lies, and confusion of this enemy. The cheap political
goals that the enemy’s leaders try to achieve through their massacres
and dirty crimes on one hand, and through their black lies on the other,
will lead them to a resounding fall, humiliation, shame, and regret, by
the help and power of Allah.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span>“The losses among the enemy’s prisoners have become
very large, and we did not wish for the situation to reach this stage
of losses and suffering for the prisoners. We have tried to protect and
care for these prisoners for months, aiming for a noble and lofty
humanitarian goal, which is the liberation of our oppressed and
subjugated prisoners and achieving the legitimate and human rights of
our people.</span></p>
<p><span>“We are still striving to preserve the enemy’s prisoners by all
means, and we have warned dozens of times about the dangers faced by
the enemy’s prisoners in the hands of the resistance and the losses
among them since the beginning of the war, but the occupation’s
leadership ignored the fate of its prisoners, and the Nazi Zionist army
deliberately kills its prisoners and injures them. </span></p>
<p><span>“In the meantime, the enemy’s wounded and sick prisoners are
living in very difficult conditions and struggling to stay alive. This
is not surprising as all the suffering of hunger, thirst, lack of
medical supplies, and more that our people endure is also endured by the
enemy’s prisoners. The enemy’s leadership and its barbaric army alone
bear full responsibility for this, as time is running out very quickly,
and warning has been given. </span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span>“O sons of our great people, Allah has decreed that
we live on this land to fight this criminal enemy cursed by Allah in
every book and upon whom His wrath is, and He has decreed to send upon
them those who will inflict the worst of punishment until the Day of
Judgment.</span></p>
<p><span>“Greetings to you, our people, our generous nation, to whom no
words can do justice and fate. We pledge to remain true to the covenant
of the martyrs, on the frontiers of confrontation, resistance, and jihad
until Allah decrees His victory and writes by our hands the healing of
the believers’ hearts. Allah is dominant over His affair, but most
people do not know.”</span></p>
