‘Ghost of Gaza’: Al-Qassam Confirms Killing of Chief of Staff Ezzeddin al-Haddad

The Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Saturday the martyrdom of its Chief of Staff, Ezzeddin al-Haddad, known as Abu Suhaib, saying he was killed in a zionist strike in Gaza City alongside members of his family and several Palestinians.

In a statement, Al-Qassam described the killing as a “cowardly assassination” and said the operation constituted a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The movement added that targeting senior resistance leaders would not alter the course of confrontation.

“The assassination of leaders will only reinforce the Resistance’s determination to continue its path of struggle,” the statement said.

Palestinian resistance sources had earlier confirmed al-Haddad’s death following the strike.

Deadly Strike in Al-Rimal

Al-Haddad was killed after zionist forces struck a residential building in the Al-Rimal neighborhood west of Gaza City on Friday.

The attack caused extensive destruction in a densely populated civilian area.

Local reports said at least eight Palestinians were killed and more than 40 wounded in the strike, while rescue crews struggled to recover victims from beneath the rubble.

The bombardment came amid continued zionist attacks across Gaza despite ongoing ceasefire discussions.

Health authorities said zionist attacks over the previous 24 hours killed 13 Palestinians and wounded 57 others.

According to figures released by Gaza’s Health Ministry, the overall death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has reached 72,757, with 172,645 wounded.

The ‘Ghost of Gaza’

Born in Gaza in 1970, al-Haddad joined Hamas during the movement’s early years in the 1980s and later became one of the most prominent military leaders within Al-Qassam.

He became widely known as the ‘Ghost of Gaza’ because of his secrecy and ability to avoid repeated zionist attempts to locate him.

Zionist occupation forces reportedly attempted to assassinate him six times and offered a reward of $750,000 for information leading to his whereabouts.

Al-Haddad succeeded Mohammad al-Sinwar following his assassination in 2025 and later assumed broader leadership responsibilities within the movement.

Zionist media had increasingly described him as one of the regime’s highest-priority targets following the assassinations of senior Hamas leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Marwan Issa.

Family Recalls Years of Sacrifice

As funeral processions moved through Gaza City on Saturday, family members described a life shaped by imprisonment, resistance activity, and repeated personal loss.

Speaking to Al-Jazeera Mubasher, his sister Mahitab al-Haddad said the family received news of his death “with patience and acceptance.”

She said al-Haddad had spent years moving between Israeli prisons and detention by the Palestinian Authority before continuing his role within Al-Qassam.

Mahitab said he had suffered repeated losses during the war, including sons and relatives, yet remained steadfast.

“He remained patient and encouraged others to remain patient,” she said.

Family members also described him as a figure known among Gaza residents for assisting people and remaining committed to family responsibilities despite years of war and pursuit.

Aya al-Haddad, his brother’s wife, described his martyrdom as “an honor for the family,” saying he remained close to relatives and continued helping those around him despite the war.

Funeral Crowds Fill Gaza Streets

Thousands of Palestinians took part in funeral processions across Gaza on Saturday. Crowds chanted slogans supporting Palestinian resistance while carrying al-Haddad’s body through the streets.

Al-Haddad’s killing comes as zionist continues its campaign in Gaza and amid ongoing efforts to secure a broader ceasefire agreement.

Al-Qassam reiterated that assassinations and continued military escalation would not alter its position.

“The path of resistance will continue,” the movement said.

Hamas Releases Statement

Hamas released a statement which we publish below:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow by sacrificing their lives, and others still await, and they have not altered their determination by any means.”

With all feelings of pride and honor, and with hearts filled with pain mixed with faith, submission, patience, and steadfastness, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) mourns to our Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world, the great commander and fighter martyr:

Who ascended to his Lord as a martyr on the evening of Friday, 15/05/2026, as a result of a treacherous and cowardly “israeli” assassination crime. It targeted him along with members of his family and a number of safe civilians in the Gaza Strip, which led to his martyrdom along with his wife, Umm Suhaib, his daughter Nour, and a number of innocent citizens, after a path of struggle filled with giving, sacrifice, preparation, and ribat. During this path, he remained steadfast in the fields of confrontation, advancing and never retreating, defending his people, his land, and his sanctities until the last moments.

The martyr commander Abu Suhaib represented an exceptional model of the steadfast, fighting commander who spent his life in the fields of resistance, preparation, and confronting the occupation. He was one of the pillars of the resistance project in the Gaza Strip, a beacon for the fighters, and an impenetrable dam in the face of attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause and break the will of our people. His wise leadership, field directives, and management of the battle of confrontation with the occupation, especially during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, were a source of inspiration for the heroes of Al-Qassam, and a severe force against the enemy and its army.

The martyr commander Abu Suhaib ascended, after having offered during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle his own beloved children, the fighters Suhaib and Mumin, and his son-in-law, the fighter Mahmoud Abu Hasira, as martyrs on the path of Al-Quds and liberation, to join them as a steadfast, patient, and reckoning martyr, in a scene that embodies the greatness of the sacrifices offered by the resistance leaders and their families for the sake of Palestine and its sanctities.

The crime of assassinating the martyr commander Izz al-Din al-Haddad, and what the occupation continues to commit of crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, confirms once again the criminal and fascist nature of this terrorist entity, its disregard for all international laws and charters, and its failed attempts to impose political and field realities it failed to achieve by force, through the policy of killing, terrorism, pressure on the resistance leadership, influencing its political positions, and breaking the will, steadfastness, and tenacity of our people on their land.

The movement confirms that this crime, with all its dimensions and timing, places the international community, and the intermediary and guarantor countries of the agreement in particular, before their political, legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities to act immediately and seriously to compel the occupation government to fully adhere to the terms of the agreement and stop its ongoing crimes and aggression against innocent civilians. Furthermore, the continued international silence and failure to exert real pressure on the war criminal Netanyahu, the Hitler of the era who is wanted for international justice, have encouraged the occupation to continue its bloody approach and its ongoing aggression against our people.

As the movement mourns this great commander, it confirms that his pure blood, and the blood of all the martyr leaders and fighters, will not go in vain. Rather, it will remain fuel for the battle of liberation and a light illuminating the path of resistance towards Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa, and that the path of struggle and resistance will continue, with more strength, firmness, and determination. Assassination and terrorism crimes will not succeed in breaking the will of our people or dissuading them from adhering to their national rights and constants.

The movement also calls on our Palestinian people for more cohesion, unity, and steadfastness, and to thwart all the occupation’s plans aimed at undermining the unity of our people and their resistance. It confirms that our people, who have offered these blessed convoys of martyr leaders, are capable, by the permission of Allah, of continuing the path of liberation until the occupation is expelled and our full national rights are wrested.

The martyr commander Abu Suhaib concluded his blessed journey with martyrdom, to remain a symbol of giving, steadfastness, and loyalty to Palestine, Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, and the prisoners, and for his biography to remain a school for generations in sacrifice and adherence to rights and constants.

May Allah the Almighty have mercy on the great commander and fighter martyr Izz al-Din al-Haddad, Abu Suhaib, forgive him, grant him the highest Paradise with the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and excellent are those as companions.

And it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

Resistance Factions Commented on the Assassination

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine described Izz al-Din al-Haddad as the “General Commander” of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, praising him as a central figure in coordinating joint resistance efforts and rebuilding resistance leadership structures during the war. They highlighted his role in directing battlefield operations during the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation and noted that the zionist entity had failed for years to target the “Ghost of al-Qassam.”

Fatah al-Intifada referred to al-Haddad as the commander of the military general staff of the al-Qassam Brigades and emphasized his courage in confronting the zionist military operations and the war in Gaza. They emphasized that the blood of fallen leaders would inspire future generations.

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and the Mujahideen Brigades emphasized al-Haddad’s long history of armed struggle, framing his death within a religious narrative of sacrifice and martyrdom. They stressed that assassinations after more than a year of war would not defeat the resistance, describing fallen leaders as guiding symbols for the continued struggle.

The National Resistance Brigades (Omar al-Qasim Forces) stated that al-Haddad was martyred alongside his wife, daughter, and other civilians in central Gaza. The statement explicitly described the assassination as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and emphasized national goals, including freedom, the right of return, and independence.

The joint statement by the Palestinian resistance factions emphasized unity among the groups and described al-Haddad’s martyrdom as proof that assassinations cannot defeat the resistance. The factions stressed that every fallen commander strengthens the movement, reaffirmed their commitment to armed struggle, and vowed to continue fighting for the liberation of Palestine, including Al-Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad exalted the martyr Izz al-Din al-Haddad, and condemned the entity’s actions as a violation of the ceasefire and said the assassinations of resistance leaders would only strengthen Palestinian resolve and resistance.

Hezbollah proclaimed that they “strongly condemn the heinous crime committed by the occupation, which led to the martyrdom of the general commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Izz al-Din al-Haddad.” https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=32791 #alAqsaFlood #alQassam #gaza #hamas #hezbollah #palestine #pflp #pij #resistance #westAsia #westBank

Statement by the Palestinian Resistance Factions on the 78th Anniversary of the Nakba

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Nakba continues through killing, massacres, expulsion, discrimination, impoverishment, siege, starvation, international silence, and US partnership. What is happening in the Gaza Strip and all Palestinian territories is a chapter in the series of ethnic cleansing and genocide that has not stopped for 78 years of zionist oppression and brutality, revealing the nature of the zionist project as a colonial, racist, uprooting tool. 78 years since the Nakba of the Palestinian people have been enough to build a revolutionary, resistance-minded, and fighter generation that believes in freedom and aspires to be free from the injustice of the “israeli” enemy and the return of every displaced Palestinian to their homeland. Return is a right for us that does not expire with time, and we will not compromise our land, sanctities, and legitimate rights, regardless of the sacrifices. Our people and our fighters will rise from under the rubble to build their homeland and future anew. Our struggle with the “israeli” entity is an ideological and existential struggle that will not be resolved except by wresting the full national rights of our people, at the heart of which is the right of return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the entire national soil with Al-Quds as its capital. The true response to the Nakba and its repercussions is to build a unified resistance front, formulate a comprehensive national strategy that adopts resistance in all its forms, led by armed struggle, and restore the Palestine Liberation Organization as a comprehensive and unified national framework, on the basis of partnership and in accordance with national consensus decisions, to cut off the path to the approach of monopoly and hegemony, and to invest the energies of our people in all places where they are present and enable them to express their will in resisting the enemy until liberation and return. Targeting UNRWA in Gaza by destroying its facilities, targeting its employees, closing its institutions in Al-Quds, and preventing its work in the West Bank constitutes part of a systematic plan to liquidate the refugee cause. We renew our call for the necessity of complete liberation from the Oslo Accords and their consequences, ending the commitments of the Authority resulting from it, stopping security coordination and all forms of pursuing the resistance, reversing all dangerous decisions regarding the allocations for the families of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and the liberated, and cutting off all forms of dependence on US-zionist projects and moving to build a unified, resistant, struggle-filled field that expresses the free Palestinian popular will. We call on the masses of the nation, its peoples, its free people, and its living forces to rise up and confront the war of extermination against our people and our nation, to reject all forms of normalization with the “israeli” enemy, and to confront the project of new colonial hegemony and the plans to fragment the region.

Hamas and Palestinian Resistance Factions Condemn Assassination of Azzam Al-Hayya

Hamas:

— In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The cowardly “israeli” crime that targeted Azzam Al-Hayya, the son of the movement’s leader in the Gaza Strip and head of the negotiation delegation, Brother Fighter Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, represents a continuation of the occupation’s approach of targeting civilians and the families of Palestinian leaders, as part of its failed attempts to influence the will of the resistance and its political positions through terror, killing, and psychological pressure. The contradiction and confusion that accompanied the “israeli” narrative regarding the targeting operation reveal the scale of the turmoil the occupation government is experiencing. They also clearly reflect that this crime came within the framework of attempts to exert pressure on the resistance leadership and its negotiating delegation, after the occupation failed to impose its conditions or achieve its declared goals. Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya and the negotiating delegation had previously been subjected to a wicked assassination attempt in Doha, during which a number of martyrs from our people and the dear Qatari people ascended, including his son, the martyr Hammam Al-Hayya, in a crime that confirms the occupation’s insistence on targeting everyone who adheres to the rights and national constants of our people. The movement confirms that our Palestinian people, who have offered tens of thousands of martyrs, will not allow the occupation to turn the blood of sons and families into a tool for political blackmail, and that these crimes will not push the Palestinian negotiator to retreat from his constants or abandon the rights of our people to stop the aggression, end the siege, and fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, targeting the children of Palestinian leaders will not lead to weakening the position of the resistance, but will rather increase its adherence to the rights of our people and its determination to wrest them, and will deepen the popular support around it, as it pays the same cost of confrontation alongside its people, and offers from its own sons and families just as our people’s sons offer everywhere in the Gaza Strip. The occupation’s resort to this type of crime confirms its compound crisis and its inability to break the will of our people or achieve a political or field achievement, so it resorts to a policy of revenge and attempts to spread fear by targeting families and civilians. The blood of the martyrs, no matter how great the sacrifices, will remain the fuel for our people’s steadfastness and resilience, and a motivation to continue defending their legitimate national rights until freedom is attained and the occupation is ended.

— Resistance factions exalt the martyrdom of Azzam Khalil Al-Hayya and Hamza Al-Sharbasi, who were targeted in zionist airstrikes on Gaza, and extend their condolences to Hamas and Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourned the martyrdom of Azzam Khalil Al-Hayya, the fourth son of Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya to be killed, alongside field commander Hamza Al-Sharbasi and Palestinian police officers martyred in “israeli” strikes in Gaza. The  PFLP emphasized that the repeated loss of Al-Hayya’s sons reflects how resistance leaders endure the same suffering as the Palestinian people. The PFLP highlighted the IOF’s sabotage of ceasefire efforts through assassinations and bombardment, and reaffirmed its commitment to continuing the struggle until the occupation ends. The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and its military wing, the Mujahideen Brigades, extended condolences to Khalil Al-Hayya and Hamas, while asserting that “israeli” assassination policies would not break the resolve of resistance fighters or leadership. The PFLP-GC offered condolences to Hamas and the Al-Hayya family over the martyrdom of Azzam Al-Hayya. They honored the broader population of martyrs, including civilians and fighters, who it said continue to confront “israeli” attacks with steadfastness. Fatah Al-Intifada sent condolences to Khalil Al-Hayya and Hamas. They condemned the strikes as violations of the declared ceasefire and stated that immense sacrifices are part of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return. The statement concluded by honoring all Palestinian martyrs and reaffirming commitment to the revolutionary struggle until victory. The Popular Resistance Committees exalted Azzam Al-Hayya as a steadfast fighter who followed the path of resistance and sacrifice alongside his martyred brothers. They described him as deeply committed to the Palestinian cause and the suffering of Gaza’s people. In its condolences to Khalil Al-Hayya, Hamas, and the Al-Qassam Brigades, the PRC vowed to continue resistance until the defeat of the entity and the liberation of Palestine and Al-Quds.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemned the continued zionist escalation and assassination campaign targeting resistance leaders and cadres in Gaza, including the strike that targeted Al-Qassam commander Hamza Al-Sharbasi and Azzam Khalil Al-Hayya, son of Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya. The movement stated that these attacks are intended to impose “israeli” conditions on Gaza, evade ceasefire obligations, obstruct reconstruction efforts, and continue the war on the Gaza Strip. The PIJ affirmed that the crimes of the occupation will only strengthen the resolve and steadfastness of the resistance.

Al-Quds Brigade — Jenin Battalion: Two IED Attacks Against Occupation in Sila

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, have announced successful operations carried out by their combat formations in the Sila Al-Harithiya and Sila Al-Dhar areas within the Jenin Battalion’s sector. Following the restoration of communication with one of the fighting units in the Sila Al-Dhar company, the Brigades confirmed that at dawn today, fighters detonated an improvised explosive device against an enemy infantry foot patrol during the occupation’s incursion into the town, achieving confirmed casualties. In a separate operation, fighters in the Sila Al-Harithiya company detonated a directed “Sijeel” type IED against a military jeep at the entrance of Sila. The Brigades affirmed that their fighters continue to confront the occupation forces’ incursion across multiple axes, responding to the field conditions and developments. The operations reaffirm that the resistance in the West Bank remains active, capable, and determined to defend the land and the people, inflicting pain on the occupation forces with every incursion. https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=32355 #gaza #islamicJihad #palestine #pij #resistance #westAsia #westBank

Palestinian Islamic Jihad Condemns Zionist Attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque

The occupation forces continue their blatant attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as settlers have proceeded to violate the sanctities, perform public Talmudic rituals in its courtyards, and raise the occupation flag over its corridors, within the framework of feverish preparations for what is called the “Great Storming” on May 15th, led by Temple groups with official, declared governmental support, in light of continuous and ongoing Arab and global silence.

These violations of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and of Islamic and Christian sanctities in Al-Quds are a deliberate provocation and an intentional insult to all Muslims in the world, with the aim of dragging the entire region into a religious conflict.

This coincides with the continuation of crimes committed by the occupation army and herds of settlers in the occupied West Bank, including field executions, mass arrests, demolishing houses over the heads of their inhabitants, uprooting trees and agricultural crops, destroying infrastructure, and encouraging herds of settlers to spill Palestinian blood.

In the Gaza Strip, the occupation persists in violating the ceasefire agreement daily and escalates its attacks, causing a number of martyrs and wounded around the clock, with a continuous threat of resuming the aggression and the war of extermination around the clock, and continuing the unjust siege and the policy of starvation, while the world watches these crimes without lifting a finger.

We warn that the continuation of these practices will lead to a dangerous escalation, and we decry the suspicious official Arab silence and the shameful international complicity, which grants the occupier complete impunity and encourages it to persist in killing, destruction, and Judaization. We confirm that our people will not hesitate to defend their sanctities, land, and rights, and that the resistance forces will continue to confront the occupation’s crimes by all means and methods.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad On the Third Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Sheikh Khader Adna

On the third anniversary of the martyrdom of Sheikh Khader Adnan, we recall the memory of a symbol of the national movement and a beacon of the resistance, and the detonator of the “Empty Stomachs” battle that shook the pillars of the occupation prisons. Three years have passed, and the jihadi and militant legacy of Sheikh Khader Adnan remains alive, vibrant, and inspiring to the fighters in confronting the executioner and the dungeons.

Sheikh Khader Adnan embodied, through his historic hunger strike, the peak of the vigor and will that does not soften in confronting the oppression of the jailer and breaking the might of the executioner. He turned his lean body into a field of confrontation, and his empty stomach into a weapon against the brutal machine of repression, to prove to the world that will and faith are capable of victory, even if the hands are shackled with iron

The memory of the martyrdom of Sheikh Khader Adnan, who ascended as a martyr, is an inspiration of his jihadi and militant legacy, and a reminder of the suffering of the steadfast heroes among the prisoners as they face unparalleled brutality that has exceeded the atrocities of the Nazi detention centers.

Today, as we remember this towering national figure, the suffering of the prisoners is worsening in an unprecedented way, as they face the decision of the war criminals in the government of the usurping entity and the unjust and oppressive decision to execute the prisoners. This is the decision that officially announces the transition of the occupation to the stage of organized extermination behind bars, and turning the prisons into human slaughterhouses in sight and hearing of the world, in blatant defiance of all international charters and norms, and a disregard for the lives of the heroes whose will for freedom and defense of the rights of our people has not and will not be broken.

The Arab and global silence regarding the crimes committed by the occupation will not deter our people from their resistance, and the issue of the prisoners in the prisons will remain at the top of the priorities of the jihad of our people and one of the most prominent goals of the resistance.

It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

Islamic Jihad: Smotrich’s Settlement Plans in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria Confirm the Entity Is a Danger to the Entire Nation

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has stated that statements by the usurping entity’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, regarding plans to establish new settlements in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, in addition to settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, confirm that this entity represents an imminent danger not only to the Palestinian people but to all peoples of the nation. The war criminal government of the entity is proceeding with expansionist projects and seeks to impose them through bloodshed.

The movement called on Arab and Islamic peoples to confront expansionist projects and confront the occupation by all means and methods, to preserve the land, dignity, and the future of generations. Facts have proven that resistance is the only way to stand against the occupation’s crimes and schemes, regardless of the sacrifices.

Saraya Al-Quds: The Time of Being Threatened, Weakened, or Enslaved Has Passed

Our brave prisoners are heroes of the cause and revolutionaries of a usurped land. Heavenly and secular laws have granted them the right to resist occupation on their land. Therefore, the enactment of a death penalty law for prisoners by war criminals confirms that we are facing a comprehensive and escalating aggression that demands unity in support of our prisoners against an arrogant enemy who has not learned the lessons from Mahmoud Al-Zahar and his comrades, who tasted freedom despite his efforts. This will be our rendezvous with our prisoners sooner or later, and we, along with the Palestinian resistance, will remain faithful to their just cause. The Zionist enemy, led by war criminal Netanyahu, is exploiting the volatile situation in the region to attempt to monopolize the Al-Aqsa Mosque, prevent prayers there, and impose a strict siege to allow extremist settlers to desecrate and sacrifice in its courtyards. This dangerous escalation will backfire on the enemy. This requires our people in the West Bank and Jerusalem to mobilize and defend Al-Aqsa at all costs, and we call on the free people of our nation to rise in support of Al-Aqsa, in honor of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. The strength and arrogance of the Zionist-American aggression are fading by the minute in the face of the powerful and blessed strikes of the Mujahideen heroes in the Islamic Republic and the resistance fronts. We commend the epic performance of the Iranian armed forces in Isfahan, which crushed Trump’s army in the desert and destroyed many of its advanced military aircraft. We also applaud the coordinated missile strikes by the Axis of Resistance forces in Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon, whose explosions we hear across all of Palestine with shouts of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great), praise, and thanksgiving. We appreciate the devastating strikes by the Islamic resistance Mujahideen in Hezbollah against the enemy’s army on the southern Lebanese borders, destroying its vehicles, barracks, and gatherings, as well as the precision missile strikes deep into occupied Palestine. This has stunned the enemy and disrupted his failed calculations, as he thought he had eliminated the threat of Hezbollah earlier, only to see the jihadi momentum overwhelm him and his military and security leaders. Amid the great achievements of the Mujahideen in all confrontation arenas, the Zionist media continues to broadcast its false narratives about the “Promised Land” and “Greater Israel,” which are no longer capable of protecting their borders. Their leaders are trading accusations of failure and disintegration. The time of being threatened, weakened, or enslaved has passed. Our nation is beginning to recover its strength, refocus its direction, and identify its enemy and his ambitions in its land and resources. The free people of our nation will unite to confront the Zionist hatred that is leading the Middle East and the world to destruction and ruin. We say to Trump, Netanyahu, and those behind them: You are the true children of darkness, whose evil will be removed by the Mujahideen of Islam, who love peace and justice for the world. https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=31005 #gaza #islamicJihad #palestine #pij #repression #sarayaAlQuds #westAsia

Resistance Organizations Continue to Denounce Zionist Execution Law

Regional Resistance factions continue to denounce the new fascist, draconian zionist execution law. We publish a few below. — Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

— The “Democratic Front” condemns the prisoner execution law: A fascist escalation that will not break our people’s will

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns, in the strongest terms, the “israeli” Knesset’s approval of the law to execute Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, by a majority of 62 votes to 48. This step constitutes a dangerous qualitative escalation in the occupation’s policies and is a clear expression of its accelerating slide toward fascism and racist legislation.

This criminal law is considered a flagrant violation of all rules of international humanitarian law and reaffirms once again that the occupation state is nothing but a regime based on organized oppression and terrorism. It hides behind slogans of “democracy” and “rule of law” in a misleading attempt to improve its image before the world, while in reality, it practices the ugliest forms of systematic killing and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people.

The Front believes that the approval of this law comes in the context of an open war waged by the occupation government against our people, targeting the Palestinian human being in their life, dignity, and rights. This bloody approach will not succeed in breaking the will of our people or deterring them from continuing their legitimate struggle in all its forms; rather, it will make them more steadfast and attached to their fixed national rights, foremost among them freedom, independence, and self-determination.

The Front calls on the international community—governments, parliaments, political forces, and human rights organizations—to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, to break out of the state of silence and complicity, by condemning this racist law clearly and explicitly, and by taking practical steps to isolate the occupation government and hold it accountable for its crimes before international forums and courts.

The Front also demands the provision of immediate international protection for Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, the guaranteeing of their full rights in accordance with the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, and working to stop the policies of torture, medical neglect, and slow killing to which they are subjected daily.

Our Palestinian people, who have offered and continue to offer immense sacrifices, will remain loyal to their cause and firmer than all attempts at oppression and extermination, and will continue their struggle until achieving their full and undiminished national rights.

Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine

Press Office – Gaza Strip

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
—
In a dangerous escalation that represents a violation of all human, moral, and international norms and charters, the Knesset of the “israeli” entity approved this evening a law authorizing the application of the death penalty against Palestinian prisoners. This reflects the thirst for bloodshed among the entity’s leaders, the use of the parliamentary framework to pass extermination under the eyes of the entire world, and the transformation of prisons into arenas for political liquidation.

Passing this unjust and unfair law reveals that the legal and judicial system in the entity is nothing but a tool for political revenge aimed at misleading public opinion, no less brutal than the crimes committed by the occupation army in the field.

This decision constitutes a flagrant breach of the Geneva Conventions, particularly the Fourth Convention regarding territories under occupation. It also fundamentally contradicts the principle of prohibiting torture and cruel treatment, and rises to the level of crimes that warrant prosecution before international courts.

In the face of this escalation, the continued international and Arab silence constitutes blatant complicity, which requires a firm stance from international and humanitarian institutions, primarily the International Court of Justice and the UN commission of inquiry, to classify this law as a crime against humanity and work to pursue the entity’s leaders in all international forums.

The approval of this law will not achieve security for the occupation state, but will rather increase the region’s volatility and create a new reality in defense of the prisoners and to safeguard their lives.

We call on our people to escalate the confrontation with the occupation everywhere to strike down this law and save the lives of our prisoners.

— Hezbollah:
—
Hezbollah condemns the move by the “israeli” Knesset to approve what is called the “law on the execution of Palestinian prisoners,” and considers this criminal decision a continuation of the systematic terror of the enemy and a completion of the policy of genocide it is practicing against the sacrificing, patient, and steadfast Palestinian people.

This aggressive decision issued by an artificial, barbaric, and savage entity, which does not recognize any international law and does not adhere to any ethical standards, is a dangerous attempt to institutionalize execution, legitimize intentional killing, and create a false legal cover for a crime that already exists—one that this zionist enemy has practiced for decades against Palestinian prisoners through brutal torture, intentional medical negligence, and all forms of abuse, criminality, and inhumanity.

This entity has reached this level of insolence, arrogance, and criminality due to the shameful international silence and failure regarding all its perpetrations and massacres against children, women, civilians, and journalists, and its targeting of hospitals, schools, and shelters in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. The international community’s continued policy of overlooking and complacency regarding those zionist crimes and its blatant violations of international and humanitarian laws will only lead to encouraging it to further persist in its crimes and complete the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Hezbollah, as it expresses its full and steadfast solidarity with the heroic Palestinian prisoners and the resisting people of Palestine, calls upon the international community with all its institutions, from the United Nations and the Human Rights Council to the International Committee of the Red Cross, to take urgent and immediate action to shoulder their legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities, work to stop this dangerous criminal descent, and secure the necessary protection for Palestinian prisoners unjustly imprisoned in the prisons of the terrorist occupation.

Palestinian Resistance Reacts to Zionist Execution Law

Hamas:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The final approval by the Knesset of what is called the “law for the execution of Palestinian prisoners” reflects the bloody nature of the occupation and its approach based on killing and terrorism, and exposes the falsehood of its repeated claims of civilization and commitment to human values.

This fascist “law” embodies the mentality of criminal gangs thirsty for blood, and constitutes a dangerous precedent that threatens the lives of our heroic prisoners inside the occupation’s prisons.

This decision reaffirms the disdain of the occupation and its leaders for international law, and their disregard for all humanitarian norms and charters.

We call on the international community, the free people of the world, and human rights and humanitarian organizations, especially the United Nations and the Red Cross, to move urgently to stop this criminal encroachment, and ensure the protection of our prisoners from the oppression of the occupation.

We also call on all our people at home and abroad, and their factions and forces, to move in all fields and arenas, and at all political, legal, and media levels, to support our heroic prisoners.

The zionist enemy and its criminal leaders must bear the consequences of their fascist policies, which will be met with a response commensurate with the magnitude of the crime.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirms that the approval by the so-called “israeli” “Knesset” in its three readings of a law for the “execution of prisoners” constitutes a dangerous criminal descent that falls within the systematic policy of extermination practiced by the occupation against our people.

The approval of this law reveals once again the true face of this zionist enemy, which is based on fascism and racism, and which does not hesitate to commit the most heinous atrocities.

Our brave prisoners are the vanguard of our people and freedom fighters who have sacrificed their lives in defense of the dignity of the nation. With their steadfastness, they represent the backbone of the Palestinian struggle identity and the first line of defense that will not be broken by execution guillotines or the fascist and racist laws of the occupation.

The entire world bears a historical and moral responsibility for this zionist transgression; the policy of “impunity” and the absence of accountability are what gave this entity the green light to proceed with its crimes and terrorist legislation.

We warn the zionist enemy of the consequences of taking any action against the lives of our heroic prisoners, and we affirm that any step in this direction will act as a fuse for igniting the region and will lead to an explosion of the situation and it spiraling out of control. These crimes will not pass without comprehensive and earth-shattering national reactions.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In a dangerous escalation that represents a violation of all human, moral, and international norms and charters, the Knesset of the usurping entity approved this evening a law authorizing the application of the death penalty against Palestinian prisoners. This reflects the thirst for bloodshed among the entity’s leaders, the use of the parliamentary framework to pass genocide under the watchful eyes of the entire world, and the transformation of prisons into arenas for political liquidation.

The passing of this unjust and oppressive law reveals that the legal and judicial system in the entity is nothing but a tool of political revenge aimed at misleading public opinion, which is no less brutal than the crimes committed by the “israeli” occupation army in the field.

This decision constitutes a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions, particularly the Fourth Convention regarding areas under occupation. It also fundamentally contradicts the principle of prohibition of torture and cruel treatment and rises to the level of crimes that require prosecution before international courts.

Faced with this escalation, the continued international and Arab silence constitutes blatant complicity, which requires a firm stance from international and humanitarian institutions, primarily the International Court of Justice and the United Nations Commission of Inquiry, to classify this law as a crime against humanity and to work on prosecuting the leaders of the entity in all international forums.

The approval of this law will not bring security to the occupation state; rather, it will increase the burning of the region and will create a new reality in defense of the prisoners and to safeguard their lives.

We call on our people to escalate the confrontation with the occupation everywhere to strike down this law and save the lives of our prisoners.

A press statement issued by the Fatah Al-Intifada Movement:

The approval by the Knesset of the law to execute Palestinian prisoners is an extension of the racist and criminal approach of the “israeli” government, and an attempt to legalize organized mass murder against the sons of our Palestinian people living under occupation.

This law is a criminal escalation that proves all “israeli” apparatuses are criminal tools used to abuse the Palestinian people.

The occupation is attempting, through seeking to pass this law, to impose a dual legal system in the West Bank, which condemns Palestinians and grants full immunity to settlers and occupiers.

We demand that institutions and governments take serious steps to stop the zionist criminality, and pursue the ministers of the zionist entity’s government and the Knesset members who voted in favor of legislating the law to prosecute them before international courts on charges of encouraging the commission of war crimes.

It is a revolution until victory.

To the trembling enemy leadership: The approval of the law to execute prisoners is the scream of the helpless in the face of the steadfastness of our leaders and fighters in your cells. You are delusional if you think that gallows will intimidate those who carry their souls in their palms; we are a people who love sacrifice as you love life, and this decision of yours will not bring security or safety to your soldiers and your herds of settlers.

The criminal zionists must know, and the fascist and racist criminal Ben-Gvir must hear: Any harm to the life of any hero behind bars will mean opening the gates of hell upon you.

We say to the zionists: Your government is selling you illusions and pushing you toward the abyss. The law to execute prisoners is the “mercy bullet” for your personal security; action will be followed by an explosion in the face of your failed leaders and generals.

The vow of the resistance and the covenant of bullets: We will not have a pleasant life while the prisoners are in danger. The execution decision is a declaration of an open war with no ceiling, and the zionists will see how we turn this decision into a calamity that chases you in every alley and turn; our prisoners are a red line.

On Land Day, we confirm to the delusional enemy that the land from which we suckled steadfastness only produces men who do not break. The law to execute prisoners will only pass over our corpses, and any attempt to harm the lives of our heroes will be confronted by our people and our resistance with all force.

Our prisoners have clung to their cause just as roots cling to the soil, and whoever thinks that the gallows will intimidate us, let them ask the soil of this land about our might.

We warn you against testing our anger; the dignity of our prisoners is from the dignity of our land, and both are a red line, and beyond that is death.

The land is ours, the prisoners are a red line, and the final word belongs to the field.
