The enemy excels in torturing innocents, openly declares his intention to displace people, boasts about systematic destruction as a military achievement, and presents plans to the world for establishing Nazi concentration camps under false, deceptive humanitarian pretexts.
It is as if this enemy wants to practice experiments that occurred many decades ago, and inflict them upon its enemies with a sadism and criminality that makes Nazism pale in comparison, which necessitates the rejection of these camps by the entire world.
The lie of antisemitism, which our enemies have fed on for decades, will be a farce and a scandal. It is not our people's fault to pay the price for the psychological complexes of criminal zionism; rather, the zionists must know that the reason for nations' animosity and innate hatred towards them is their actions and crimes against humanity.
Attempts to employ mercenaries and agents for the occupation under Arab names are a sign of failure, and a guaranteed recipe for defeat. These agents will be nothing but a burnt card in the consciousness and dignity of our people and their rejection of betrayal, and what the enemy spends on them will be regret, calamity, and a clear loss for the occupation and its agents, Allah willing.
We call on these agents to repent immediately and return to the embrace of their people before it is too late, when regret will be of no avail. Otherwise, their end will be tragic and a lesson for every traitor and coward. We also express our great thanks and pride in the stances of our noble people's families and clans, who have disavowed this isolated group of agents who represent no one but themselves.
O sons of our great, patient people, O source of revolution and factory of men, O you who bid farewell every day to a luminous convoy of martyrs, O brothers of Moses, the one to whom Allah spoke, whom the enemies of Allah harmed, but he only smiled because of you, "No, indeed, my Lord is with me; He will guide me."
O descendants of Yousef (Prophet Joesph) the Truthful, when his brothers abandoned him and cast him into the bottom of the well, victory and empowerment came to him. O beloved of Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was besieged in the valley, expelled to the cave, and sought refuge in Uhud, then relief came to him from his Lord: "Allah will suffice you against them."
O brothers of the family of Yasir, when they were tortured for the sake of Allah, they were given glad tidings: "Patience, O family of Yasir, for your appointed time is Paradise." Indeed, your steadfastness despite abandonment, your patience, your generosity, and your defiance of oppression and deprivation, are what most enrages your enemies. And this night will surely have an end, and victory comes with patience, and relief with distress, and indeed, with hardship comes ease.
And we kiss the heads of all the elders of our patient, steadfast people, who are victorious by the permission of Allah, and we extend to them the greatest greetings, and we give them the glad tidings from our Lord, the Exalted: "To Allah belongs the command before and after. And on that day, the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah. He grants victory to whom He wills, and He is the Almighty, the Merciful."
🚨🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida issued a speech today, on Friday, July 18, 2025 (2/4):
—
Our fighters’ operations have extended from the far north and east of Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, through the neighborhoods of Al-Tuffah, Shuja’iyya, and Al-Zaytoun in Gaza City, reaching all the way to Khan Younis and Rafah—making Gaza’s resistance the greatest military school for a people’s resistance confronting its occupiers in modern history.
O our people and our nation, we in the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades—after 21 months of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle and the zionist nazi war against our people—affirm that our fighters and our brothers in the resistance factions are fully ready to continue a long war of attrition against the occupation forces, regardless of the form of their aggression or their offensive plans. Our fighters have pledged themselves to steadfastness and to inflicting heavy blows on the enemy until the aggression is defeated or they attain martyrdom.
Our fighting is a principled matter and an indisputable right—a sacred religious and national duty. We have no choice but to fight with full strength, determination, and severe might, with the help and support of God. We will fight with the stones of the earth and with what we possess—willpower and believing men who, with little weaponry, perform astonishing miracles by God’s grace.
The strategy and decision of the Al-Qassam leadership at this stage is to ensure deadly blows against enemy soldiers, carry out focused, high-impact operations at point-blank range, and pursue the capture of zionist soldiers.
If the enemy’s terrorist government chooses to continue the war of extermination, it is at the same time choosing to continue receiving the coffins of its soldiers and officers. Their tanks will not save them, nor will they protect them from the torrents of death forged by faithful hands and cast by the hand of God. They thought their fortresses would protect them from God—but God came to them from where they did not expect and cast terror into their hearts.
We are proud of the steadfastness and heroism of our fighters, and we are deeply aware of the pain and suffering endured by our wounded people and our patient families—whose pain we live with day by day. Our fulfillment of the duty entrusted to us by our Lord, in resisting and fighting this enemy, does not absolve the two-billion-strong nation from its own duty—a duty it has unfortunately abandoned.
Our enemy is supplied by the most powerful oppressive forces in the world with endless convoys of weapons and ammunition, while the regimes and powers of our own nation look on at their suffering in the land of steadfastness—as they are killed by the tens of thousands, starved, and denied water and medicine.
We say this to history—with all bitterness and pain—and in front of all the sons and daughters of our nation: O leaders of this Islamic and Arab nation, O its elites and major parties, O its scholars—you are our adversaries before Almighty God. You are the adversaries of every orphaned child, every grieving mother, every displaced, homeless, wounded, devastated, and starving person. Your necks are burdened with the blood of tens of thousands of innocents who were betrayed by your silence.
This criminal nazi enemy would never have committed this genocide before your very eyes and ears had it not been confident of impunity, assured of your silence, and secure in your betrayal. We do not absolve anyone of responsibility for this flowing blood, and we exclude no one who possesses the ability to act—each according to their capacity and influence.
By God, we see the humiliation and contempt with which the enemy treats our nation—its desecration of it, its rampage through it—and our hearts bleed with pain, because we understand the cowardice, weakness, and disgrace of this enemy, and its true size.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The forty-one years spent by the struggler Georges Abdallah in French dungeons constituted a firm condemnation of the state of law, justice, freedoms, and human rights protection, and proved the falsity of integrity and neutrality.
The great injustice to which the honorable resistance fighter Georges Abdallah was subjected, and his continued detention despite the expiration of his legal sentence, will remain a stain of shame on the record of the French judicial and political system. This human and legal injustice reveals that the standards of democracy and the preservation of freedoms in France are subject to demand, which has taken it away from all logic of justice and political correctness to blind bias towards the whims and desires dictated by the interests of Washington and “Tel Aviv” and imposed on decision-makers there.
As Hezbollah blesses this heroic resistance fighter with this high honor, which he earned through his steadfastness, firmness, and adherence to his principles in defending the truth and supporting the oppressed, principles he never abandoned throughout his captivity, we see him today as a symbol for every prisoner, struggler, resistance fighter, and honorable person who raised the banner of pride and dignity in the face of tyrants and in defense of humanity, its rights, land, and principles.
Today, as the French judiciary has acknowledged the right to release this great Arab and international resistance fighter and struggler, we hope that this decision will take its natural course towards immediate implementation, and that it will not be aborted under the weight of narrow French political calculations, or by succumbing again to zionist and American pressures that previously prevented his release, falsely accusing him, and out of injustice and hatred for every resistance fighter and struggler in the world whom Georges Abdallah represents.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The targeting by the zionist occupation army this morning of the Latin Monastery Church in Gaza City, which led to the injury of the church's parish priest and a number of displaced persons inside it, represents a new crime it commits against places of worship and innocent displaced persons. This comes in the context of the comprehensive genocide war against our Palestinian people in all their components.
The continuation of the enemy's horrific massacres, the policy of starving our people in the Gaza Strip, and the killing of innocent people and civilians in all parts of the Gaza Strip, as well as the targeting of mosques, churches, hospitals, bakeries, water wells, and all civilian facilities, are documented war crimes that necessitate a serious stand from the international community and the United Nations against these continuous and unprecedented crimes, and immediate action to stop the barbaric aggression and hold the occupation leaders accountable for their crimes against humanity.

🚨🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida issued a speech today, on Friday, July 18, 2025 (3/4):
—
And we understand, before all else, the divine truth about it: “Indeed, you are more feared in their hearts than God—if only it were met with the dignity of Islam from its people and the lost Arab pride.” But it is weakness, and God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
Can a great, mighty, and noble nation not bring food, water, and medicine to the starving and besieged people of Gaza? Can it not stop the bloodshed that is being poured out in terror against our nation and in a greedy effort to break it—to establish a zionist empire on the land of Arabism and Islam, with its capital as your first Qibla and the site of your Prophet’s Night Journey (peace be upon him)—or perhaps upon its ruins? May the eyes of the cowards never sleep.
We extend our salutations to our dear and blessed people in Yemen—the land of wisdom and faith—to their armed forces, and to the sincere brothers of Ansarallah, who astonished the world with their steadfastness and the truthfulness of their stance with Palestine, Gaza, its people, and its fighters. They imposed an effective front on the enemy and presented a decisive argument against those who remained idle and submissive—among the major Arab and Islamic regimes, powers, and parties—some of whom, sadly, have become fronts for injustice and sedatives for the people and their free youth. Their credibility and grand slogans have been put to the test in the face of their betrayal and failure to support the purest and holiest cause of Arabs and Muslims.
Salutations to all the free people in the world who are striving to show solidarity, break the siege, and lift the oppression from our people by all means—disregarding danger, betrayal, and attempts at defamation by the hypocrites of this nation, who think every outcry is aimed at them.
All initiatives and expressions of solidarity from the free people of the world—whether they succeed or are sabotaged under zionist pressure—are a source of pride and honor for our people. We call for these efforts to escalate and continue, and for the exposure of this enemy by every means and in every arena and field.
We strongly support the stance of the Palestinian resistance delegation in the indirect negotiations with the enemy. We have repeatedly offered in recent months a comprehensive deal in which we would release all of the enemy’s prisoners at once—but the war criminal Netanyahu and his ministers from the nazi movement have rejected this offer.
It has become clear to us that the government of the criminal Netanyahu has no real interest in the captives because they are soldiers. Their case is not a priority, and the regime has prepared the public to accept the possibility that they are all dead. Still, we have held to preserving their lives as much as possible until now.
We are closely monitoring the ongoing negotiations, and we hope they lead to an agreement and a deal that guarantees an end to the war on our people, a withdrawal of occupation forces, and relief for our families. But if the enemy remains obstinate and withdraws from this round—as it has done in every previous one—then we do not guarantee any return to partial deals or to the “ten prisoners” proposal.
One of the clearest signs of the zionist failure in confronting the resistance and breaking our people’s will is its resort to vile solutions—war crimes, collective punishment, genocide, and ethnic cleansing—openly supported, unfortunately, by the U.S. administration.
🚨🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida issued a speech today, on Friday, July 18, 2025 (1/4):
—
The zionist enemy resumed its barbaric, nazi aggression against our people and families in the Gaza Strip four months ago—after betraying and breaking covenants, turning against the agreement reached with the resistance in January of this year, lying to mediators and to the world, and returning in search of its so-called victory.
For four months, the enemy has continued its sadism against civilians and children, indulging its gangs’ obsession with the systematic destruction of neighborhoods, cities, and civilian residential areas. It persists in this battle and in this brutal war against our people.
Twenty-one months—summarized in the steadfastness of mountains from the fighters and resistance of our people, and the patience of prophets from our great, proud, and generous nation.
Twenty-one months of shame and disgrace have haunted the wicked, occupying usurpers, along with disgraceful abandonment by brothers in blood, Arab identity, and Islam—except those whom God has shown mercy among the sincere and the fighters, among the oppressed and overwhelmed peoples, and among the free people of the world who remain in harmony with their humanity.
In recent months, the enemy announced an operation it called “Gideon’s Chariots,” attempting to project biblical myths in order to confer false sanctity on its racist, nazi war—a war resembling nothing but the deeds of devils and the practices of filthy, cowardly gangs.
We confronted the “Gideon’s Chariots” operation—and continue to do so, by the power of God—through a series of “Stones of David” operations, inspired by God’s victory for His believing servant David (peace be upon him) in his confrontation with the oppressive, tyrannical Goliath. God granted our fighters success and guided their aim by His permission. God was with His soldiers, as they repeated with every strike: “And you did not throw when you threw, but God threw.”
Our fighters—side by side with the fighters and resistance members from our brother factions, especially our brothers in Saraya Al-Quds—are engaged in an unequal confrontation, with unmatched faith, great strength, and unbreakable determination, through the power, grace, and success granted by God.
During these months, we have caused hundreds of casualties among the enemy’s soldiers—killed and wounded—and thousands have suffered from psychological disorders and trauma. The number of enemy soldiers committing suicide continues to rise, due to the horror of the filthy and bloody acts they commit, and the magnitude of the resistance they face, surrounded by God’s presence and His soldiers.
Our fighters continue to surprise the enemy with new and varied tactics and methods, having drawn lessons from the longest war and confrontation in our people’s history. They have carried out unique, heroic, and high-level operations. They continue targeting enemy vehicles with shells and explosive devices, engaging in direct combat, sniping soldiers and officers, blowing up buildings and tunnel openings, setting complex ambushes, and launching raids on enemy forces.
The world witnessed our heroes climbing onto enemy vehicles in Khan Younis, reaching the occupying soldiers at point-blank range, pursuing the criminal soldier who had mastered the demolition of civilian homes, finishing him off, and seizing his weapon.
Our fighters have attempted in recent weeks to carry out several operations to capture zionist soldiers. Some of these operations nearly succeeded—were it not for the will of God first, and then the enemy’s use of a tactic of mass killing of its own soldiers suspected of being exposed to capture attempts.

The Popular Front congratulates the internationalist fighter Georges Abdallah on his release and considers his steadfastness a victory for Palestine and the will of free people.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine congratulates the comrade and internationalist fighter Georges Abdallah on the decision to release him after more than four decades spent in French prisons, in a heroic and exceptional defiance of the most heinous tools of imperialist oppression, and warns against any imperialist and zionist pressures or attempts to thwart this decision, as happened previously.
This decision represents a victory for the will of steadfastness and revolutionary resilience, and at the same time embodies a victory for the cause of Palestine, whose banner this great progressive leader carried with pride and competence.
The continued detention of comrade Abdallah, despite a judicial decision for his release, constituted a stain on the forehead of French and American imperialism, and a blatant complicity with the zionist entity. It reminds that this arrest and detention is purely political, and represented a blatant violation of the law and decisions of the French judiciary. It commends his principled stance rejecting all attempts at blackmail and bargaining, and his insistence on the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance, considering it a legitimate option with no compromise.
The Front affirms that Abdallah's detention throughout these years sends a clear message to the world about the necessity of confronting the forces of colonialism and global arrogance, exposing zionist and imperialist crimes, and rejecting subservience and submission. Furthermore, his legendary steadfastness represents an inspiring model for the Arab and international revolutionary left, and should mark the beginning of a true awakening in the battle for national and social liberation, and for a free Palestine from the river to the sea.
The Front highly appreciates the efforts of all free people in the world, foremost among them the International Campaign for Solidarity with Georges Abdallah, and all parties, groups, and progressive internationalist activists, who did not hesitate for a single moment to continue pressure and struggle for his release, believing that defending Abdallah is defending justice and the Palestinian cause, which Abdallah made his primary compass of struggle.
The Front also values comrade Abdallah's stances inside his prison, and his steadfast support for Palestinian prisoners in their struggles, and his engaging in symbolic hunger strikes in their support, foremost among them the imprisoned leader comrade Ahmad Sa'adat, Secretary-General of the Popular Front, emphasizing that the prisoners' battle is one battle against oppression and colonialism, and that international solidarity with the Palestinian people's struggle is not limited by bars or confined by prisons.
The Front calls for escalating the struggle for the release of all prisoners and political detainees in zionist and Western prisons, and sees this battle as an integral part of the international struggle against injustice and colonialism.
Glory to the internationalist fighter Georges Abdallah... Freedom for Palestinian prisoners in zionist occupation prisons and Western prisons, and victory for Palestine and the resistance.

🚨 BREAKING: After decades of relentless struggle and repeated delays, a French court has finally approved the release of Georges Abdallah, the iconic Lebanese resistance fighter and the longest-held political prisoner in Europe.
The decision, made today, July 17, 2025, mandates his release later this month on the condition that he leave France and not return.
Abdallah, eligible for release since 1999, has endured 40 years of unjust imprisonment. His freedom has been consistently obstructed by immense zionist and US pressure. Previous court approvals, including one in 2013 and another in November 2024 for a December 6, 2024 release, were overturned due to this external intervention. In June 2025, the decision was again postponed until today.
It was revealed in 2015 that Hillary Clinton herself ordered the French Foreign Minister to keep Georges imprisoned, absurdly claiming the 72-year-old "may return to the battlefield."
Georges Abdallah, from his humble Lebanese village of Al-Qoubaiyat, was inspired by the revolutionary broadcasts of the PFLP and went on to form and lead the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (LARF). He was arrested in 1984, accused of involvement in the killings of a US military attache and a zionist diplomat in Paris in 1982.
To Georges, the trial was a farce, a tool of imperialism to obfuscate the complicity of the US and France in the bombing of his country. He neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, maintaining that the French state and its authorities are complicit in the occupation of Lebanon and Palestine.
In his words:
"Let us be worthy of the epic of the torches of freedom, those invincible resistance heroes detained in zionist prisons. Naturally, the popular Palestinian masses and their fighting vanguards in captivity can count on your active solidarity. May a thousand solidarity initiatives flourish for the sake of Palestine and its glorious resistance."
"Yes to building a comprehensive Arab resistance front to confront normalization in all forms. Down with imperialism and its agents, the zionists, and Arab reactionaries."

🇾🇪 Highlights from the speech of Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr El-Din al-Houthi.
July 17, 2025.
—
Since 2005, the so-called “New Middle East” has been built on the foundation of giving “israel” control over the region—normalizing its dominance and violations. “israel” continues its attacks on Lebanon, and just this week, it intensified its airstrikes. Meanwhile, the American administration is pushing certain Lebanese parties to adopt “israel’s” narrative, including the disarmament of the resistance and acceptance of its violations. Some Lebanese factions, under U.S. pressure, are ignoring “israel’s” obligations under its ceasefire agreement with the Lebanese state.
Despite the declared path of normalization pursued by those in power in Syria, “israeli” attacks on Syrian territory continue. The recent escalation in Damascus is meant to reinforce a new reality—where “israel” violates sovereign states without any reaction. This is the equation the Americans and “israelis” want: for our entire region to accept violations without responding. Such submission only serves “israel’s” goals of occupation, control, tyranny, and injustice.
Another equation “israel” is trying to impose in Syria is to insert itself into internal Syrian affairs under the pretext of protecting minorities, particularly the Druze. It has exploited the sectarian and regional policies of some armed groups and fueled identity-based conflicts to fracture the region. These groups must abandon their sectarian and regional hostility. I urge the minorities of Syria to be cautious—do not fall for “israel’s” manipulation. It seeks to exploit you, not protect you.
“Israel” has also established more than eight military bases in northern Quneitra, building fortified corridors linking its positions. It is working to expand its security footprint closer to Damascus, and to impose control over Syria’s internal affairs—political, military, and strategic—ensuring that everything serves its interests and strengthens its hegemony.
In contrast to this aggression, we’ve seen honorable acts of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Port workers in Piraeus refused to unload a cargo ship carrying military steel intended for “israel”. Another courageous step was the launch of a new Freedom Flotilla vessel—symbolic, but meaningful in challenging the siege on Gaza.
From Yemen, the support front—true to the spirit of faith, wisdom, and jihad—conducted 11 operations this week using hypersonic missiles and drones. These operations targeted “israeli” positions in Yaffa, the "Negev," and Umm al-Rashrash ("Eilat"). We also carried out a significant operation by sinking two ships belonging to companies that violated Yemen’s decision to ban “israeli” maritime activity in the Red Sea. As a result, the port of Umm al-Rashrash has once again been shut down after an attempt to reopen it.
The sinking of these ships was a message—a serious deterrent to any company that violates our ban. Our position is clear: any violator we encounter in our operational theater will be targeted.
Last week alone, 1,229 demonstrations, marches, and protests took place across Yemen in support of Gaza—including a massive demonstration at Sana’a University. The Yemeni people continue to stand firmly and actively in solidarity with Palestine.

🔴 *Palestinian Political Detainee from Jenin Martyred 7 Days After Arrest*
17 July 2025
Commission of Detainees' Affairs & Palestinian Prisoner's Society
Ramallah, occupied Palestine - A 53-year-old Palestinian political detainee, Sameer Mohammad Yousif al-Rifai, has been martyred in the Israeli occupation’s custody, just seven days after his arrest from his home in the village of Rummaneh in Jenin in the northern West Bank, on July 10.
The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ Affairs was informed of the development this morning, July 17. Al-Rifai was a husband and a father of five. He was scheduled to have his *first Israeli military court session* today, at the Salem military court near Nablus. According to medical reports provided by his family, he suffered from heart problems prior to his arrest and required continuous medical follow-up and care.
Al-Rifai now joins the long list of martyrs of the prisoners’ movement, who have died or were killed as a result of the systematic crimes carried out by the Israeli prison system in an unprecedented manner since the start of the ongoing genocide in Gaza - foremost among them: torture, medical neglect, and starvation.
The Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for his death.
They added that with the death of detainee Al-Rifai, the number of identified martyred Palestinian political prisoners since the start of the genocide has now risen to 74 people. This number comes amid the continued crime of enforced disappearance, making this period the bloodiest in the history of the prisoners’ movement. Accordingly, the total number of identified martyrs of the prisoners’ movement since 1967 has now risen to 311 people as of today.
The Commission and PPS stress that the increasing number of prisoner killings and deaths has become an inevitable outcome, growing ever more dangerous as thousands of detainees remain imprisoned in Israeli jails and continuously subjected to systematic crimes, most notably: torture, starvation, various forms of assault, medical neglect, sexual violence, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to the contraction of serious and contagious diseases, especially scabies, in addition to unprecedented policies of deprivation and abuse.
The death of detainee Al-Rifai constitutes a new crime added to the record of the Israeli system of brutality, which employs all forms of violence aimed at killing prisoners—a manifestation and extension of the ongoing genocide.
The Commission and the PPS renew their call on the international human rights system to move forward in taking effective decisions to hold Israeli leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against the Palestinian people. They also called for the imposition of sanctions on Israel to isolate it internationally, and to restore the credibility and core purpose of the human rights system, by ending its paralyzing failure during the genocide and revoking the exceptional impunity granted to Israel, which has placed it above accountability, justice, and punishment.
