Fatah’s terror wing thanks Allah for Hamas massacre against Israel, brags of its own terror “behind enemy lines”
The Fatah Movement – Bethlehem Branch shared a video and text posted by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (Fatah’s military wing) on its Telegram channel
The video shows Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades Spokesman Abu Muhammad wearing a military uniform and yellow Fatah headband, with his faced masked by a keffiyeh (Arab headdress). In the background is an image showing a masked Fatah terrorist with a yellow Fatah headband taking an Israeli soldier captive, and masked Fatah terrorists holding machine guns and rocket launchers on top of an Israeli tank with an Israeli military facility in the background.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades Spokesman Abu Muhammad: “Praise Allah who strengthened and supported, humiliated and defeated, and turned the Zionists into a lesson for those who are watching… We’re fighting with the rest of the resistance factions (i.e., terror groups) in ‘the Al-Aqsa Flood’ battle, by the power of Allah and with His help… It has already become clear that the end of the thieving occupier’s imaginary entity is near… The Al-Aqsa [Martyrs’] Brigades, together with the rest of the Palestinian resistance factions, carried out several operations (i.e., terror attacks) behind enemy lines as part of ‘the Al-Aqsa Flood’ battle, which constituted a crossroads in the history of our struggle with the occupier, and praise Allah, we killed and took captive occupation soldiers (sic. the majority were civilians) … Together with the rest of the Palestinian resistance factions, and as part of the joint operations room, we succeeded in moving from defense to attack. This emphasizes that there are new rules in the struggle, and the cowardly enemy will not be able – despite all the technology it has – to defeat our fighters… This battle is a new defeat for [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu and his trembling army… We inflicted on them heavy losses and great humiliation that the enemy won’t be able to ignore. We emphasize to all our people that we will continue, together with the rest of the resistance factions, in this battle until the occupation’s aggression against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, our occupied lands, and everywhere in Palestine are stopped. This is a revolution until victory; the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – Palestine.”

Hamas war on Israel October 2023 - At least 1,200 Israelis, including over 1,000 civilians, were murdered and over 4,800 wounded, in addition to approximately 244 who were abducted into the Gaza Strip (including 110 later released or liberated and at least 26 later killed), in a Hamas terror war that began when approximately 3,000 Hamas terrorists broke through Israel's security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns and attacking a music festival on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. During the massacre the terrorists tortured, raped, shot, beheaded, and burned their victims alive, murdering entire families and leaving at least 21 children without parents. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 5,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon joined Hamas' terror war starting from the following day, attacking Israel from the north. Occasional rocket launches and shootings continued from Lebanon throughout the war. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal began on Nov. 24, 2023, in which Israel agreed to release 150 terrorist prisoners, pause drone surveillance in the Gaza Strip, and allow movement between the northern and southern Gaza Strip, in return for 50 Israeli female and child hostages held by Hamas. The deal was subsequently extended with additional releases, until Hamas violated the agreement and resumed attacking on Dec. 1, 2023.
