News – Middle East: Abu Hamza, spokesperson for Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, emphasized that Yemen poses a nightmare for Zionist ships, Lebanon instills terror in the North, and Iraq stands as the champion of drones.

"On the occasion of the International Day of Al-Quds, we extend our salute to our brothers in Lebanon's Hezbollah, especially His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the leader of the Yemeni revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, as well as to the leaders of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq," stated Abu Hamza on Thursday.

"We also convey our greetings to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the supporter of liberation movements worldwide, and Syria, the strategic cornerstone of our resistance," he added.

Abu Hamza emphasized, "The ongoing events confirm that the resistance factions are steadfastly fighting the battle of Al-Aqsa Storm. Resistance forces continue to repel aggression in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon."

"We, along with the resistance factions, persist in the enduring battle of Al-Aqsa Storm on all fronts with determination, courage, and resilience," he affirmed.

"Gaza demands that we all fulfill our responsibilities to confront the Zionist-American arsenal," he asserted.

"Our fighters have been on the front lines from the outset of the battle and remain steadfast in their positions," Abu Hamza remarked, referring to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, 2023.

"We reject occupation and will not allow it to take root in Gaza. The enemy must comprehend this message," he stressed.

Abu Hamza urged the international community, especially Muslim nations, to fully support the oppressed Palestinian people on International Quds Day.

"This year's Al-Quds Day has been marked by unity across various fronts. Al-Quds has unified us this year," he noted.

Abu Hamza concluded, "We will not tolerate insults to our revered Prophet or the desecration of women's sanctity in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, nor will we accept attempts to temporally or spatially divide Al-Quds, ultimately leading to its Judaization."

International Quds Day was established by Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is observed annually worldwide on the last Friday of Ramadan. This year, the event falls on April 5th.
