In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

Press release
On the new massacre in Khan Younis

Zionist massacres are persisting in a show of spiteful Jewish terrorism against our unarmed people who are defending their lands and holy shrines with modest and simple potentials.

The enemy committed yet another carnage against our brothers in the Khan Younis refugee camp and Al-Amal suburb using tanks and heavy machineguns in a savage and indiscriminate manner inflicting numerous martyrs and scores of wounded.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, condemns that continuous terrorism and hails our heroic people who confronted the Zionist enemy and forced its troops to retreat despite the wounds that our people suffered in Khan Younis. Hamas further affirms that it would go ahead with its reprisal attacks against such massacres and that it would continue along the road of Jihad and resistance until defeat of that criminal occupation and liberation of the lands and sanctities.

We visualize the meanings of victory and Godly support to the few believers in the greater Badder battle on its anniversary, which we live today while facing that enemy and its supportive forces of oppression. We have big confidence in Allah’s victory and support towards ending that suppression on us and on our Nation. 

“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs;
but most among mankind know it not.”

The Islamic Resistance Movement
