Al-Quds Brigades published a pre-recorded speech by the late spokesperson of the PIJ’s military wing, Abu Hamza, during the commemoration of al-Quds Day on Friday.
In the speech, the martyr Abu Hamza affirmed “commitment to the path of resistance and armed struggle until liberation,” pointing out that the military and war course in “Al-Aqsa Flood will inevitably lay the foundation for the demise” of the Israeli occupation entity.
He goes on to say, “We are witnessing a remarkable achievement and an unparalleled display of resilience in the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ battle, which has dealt a severe blow to the Zionist agenda,” adding that “an axis was formed to face the Western-Zionist project, that is the axis of resistance from Palestine to Lebanon to Yemen to Iran and Iraq.”
He also called for an end to normalization with the occupation and the complete severance of ties with it. Emphasizing the need for Islamic unity, he urged support for the Palestinian people and their resistance while strengthening their resilience.
He explained that the establishment of the Zionist entity in Palestine was a clear extension of oppressive colonialism aimed at preventing any unity in the Arab and Islamic worlds.
Abu Hamza’s speech emphasized that Yemen’s presence marked a difference in Operation al-Aqsa Flood while noting that the popular marches in al-Sabe’en Square “served as a strong motivation for the Yemeni Armed Forces to continue and persist with determination and resolve.”
The Al-Quds Brigades spokesperson saluted the leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, adding that the Palestinian Resistance was listening carefully to his speeches regarding the battle in Gaza.
PIJ mourns Abu Hamza
On March 18, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement mourned the loss of Naji Abu Seif, also known by his nom de guerre Abu Hamza, a commander and spokesperson for its military wing. He was killed in a Zionist assassination along with his family and his brother’s family.
In a statement released by the Palestinian Resistance movement, Abu Hamza, the spokesperson for the al-Quds Brigades, was honored as “a voice of the Resistance, fearing no reproach in his devotion to God, eloquent in his speech, and courageous in his heroic positions in defense of the Resistance and the rights of our people, never wavering in his stance.”
The statement also denounced the “treacherous, spiteful assassination, carried out by the Nazi Zionist criminal entity,” describing it as part of a series of brutal massacres against the Palestinian people, including women and children, and ultimately backed by the United States.
“While the world stands in cowardly silence, [we] will only strengthen our determination to continue defending our people and their rights until the goals of this aggression are completely thwarted,” the PIJ concluded.
