<h3>Abu Obeida delivered a powerful speech today outlining the pivotal
moments of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa and its impact on the
region.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the
military wing of Hamas, delivered a videotaped speech on Sunday,
reflecting on the 15-month-long struggle against the Israeli occupation
and the significant changes brought about by the Battle of the Flood of
Al-Aqsa. </span></p>
<p><span>He discussed how the battle reshaped the regional landscape and created new dynamics in the ongoing conflict with the occupier.</span></p>
<p><span>These are the key points from Abu Obeida’s speech:</span></p>
<ul><li><span>“471 days have passed since the historic Battle
of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, which undoubtedly drove the final nail into
the coffin of the occupation that is now on its way to vanishing.”</span></li><li><span>“The immense sacrifices and the blood shed by our people will not be in vain.”</span></li><li><span>“Our people have made unprecedented sacrifices for their freedom and for their sanctities during these 471 days.”</span></li><li><span>“We feel the great pain that our people endure,
which comes as the price for liberating the land, the people, and the
holy sites.”</span></li><li><span>“Reaching an agreement to stop the Zionist
aggression against our people has been our goal for many months, even
from the very start of the aggression.”</span></li><li><span>“We, along with the resistance factions,
declare our full commitment to the ceasefire agreement, but this is
contingent upon the enemy’s commitment.”</span></li><li><span>“We call on all mediators to hold the enemy accountable and ensure the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.”</span></li><li><span>“We extend our thanks to our brothers in Ansar
Allah and our comrades in arms in Hezbollah, who paid a heavy price
during our battle.”</span></li><li><span>“We salute the Islamic Resistance in Iraq and our brothers in Jordan who crossed the border to confront the occupier.”</span></li><li><span>“The Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa began from
the outskirts of Gaza, but it has changed the face of the region and
introduced new equations in the conflict with the occupying entity.”</span></li><li><span>“This battle led to the opening of new fronts and forced the enemy to seek international support.”</span></li><li><span>“We fought alongside all the resistance factions as a united front throughout Gaza, delivering devastating blows to the enemy.”</span></li></ul>
<ul><li><span>“Our Mujahideen fought with immense courage
until the final hours of the battle, operating under what seemed like
impossible conditions.”</span></li><li><span>“We were up against an unequal confrontation, both in terms of combat capabilities and in combat ethics.”</span></li><li><span>“While we struck at the enemy, they resorted to brutal and heinous methods of violence against our people.”</span></li><li><span>“The greatness of this battle is reflected in
the leadership of its martyrs, including (Ismail) Haniyeh, (Saleh)
al-Arouri, and (Yahya) Sinwar.”</span></li><li><span>“Any attempts to integrate this entity into the region will be met with a flood of awareness and resistance from free peoples.”</span></li><li><span>“Today, the responsibility on our people in the
West Bank is growing, and we offer a special salute to Jenin, the
sister city of Gaza in its heroism and steadfastness.”</span></li><li><span>“We receive millions of messages of support
from across the Arab and Islamic world, and we know that we are one with
you, and you are one with us.”</span></li></ul>
<p><span>Abu Obeida’s speech marks a reflection on the sacrifices made
during the 15-month-long conflict and expresses a resolute commitment to
resistance while calling for the implementation of the ceasefire
agreement and continued unity among resistance groups.</span></p>
