GAZA, (The Palestine Information Centre)The Israeli “paper tiger” is crumbling, Abu Obaida, the spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement on Saturday.
The resistance fighters are tearing apart the myth of the Israeli army and are teaching the apartheid regime a lesson not to ever again infringe on the sanctity of the holy Aqsa Mosque, Abu Obaida added.
He called on the Palestinian people in Jerusalem and the West Bank to rise in revolt against the Israeli occupation forces and “savage” settlers.
The spokesman also asked the Arab and Islamic masses to support the Palestinian people, describing the ongoing events an “historic” opportunity to defeat the occupation.
Mohamed al-Deif, commander-in-chief of al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, announced on Saturday morning the launch of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” in response to the Israeli occupation state’s crimes against the Palestinians and the escalating settler desecration of the Aqsa Mosque.
