Hamas’ Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades Vow to Intensify Attacks Against Israeli Regime
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The military wing of Hamas, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, vowed to intensify attacks against Israel, warning of "martyrdom operations" in response to ongoing Israeli violence in the Gaza Strip.
In a newly released video, Hamas’ Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades pledged a “flood of martyrdom operations” against Israel, in retaliation for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The Brigades referenced the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, which Hamas launched against Israel in October of last year.
"You have ignited a fire that will never be extinguished until we drive you from our land," said a masked fighter.
"We have prepared for you certain death. The fire you started will consume you, your settlers, and your army," the fighter added, addressing Israel.
The Hamas fighters also warned that further Israeli aggression in Gaza would increase the "bill of blood and revenge."
"There will be nothing in return for the blood but blood," he stated, referencing the plight of Palestinian prisoners, particularly women, in Israeli custody.
“And we, in the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, tell the oppressive enemy that the river of blood flowing on the land of the Gaza ... will be met with a flood of martyrdom operations that will turn its situation upside down in its own house. It is indeed a battle of victory or martyrdom,” the Hamas fighter further said in the video.
Israel waged its brutal US-backed war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out the Al-Aqsa Storm operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Despite nearly a year of genocidal war, Israel has been unable to meet its objectives of "destroying Hamas" and recovering Israeli captives.
The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 41,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, with over 95,000 others injured.
