ALBAWABA - Hamas just termed the October 7th "Aqsa Storm," or attacks against Israel, a direct extension of the Palestinian people's defense of their home. The movement vowed to continue resisting occupiers.
Hamas' Telegram page commemorated "Land Day" on March 30th, emphasizing its importance as a symbol of national pride and a turning point in the Palestinian struggle. The statement stressed the Palestinian people's determination to fight for freedom, the right of return, and fundamental rights.
Hamas stressed the importance of the Aqsa Storm in this ongoing story and the need to oppose occupying forces and their allies. Land Day inspired the movement by embodying strength and courage in the face of hardship.
Hamas also stressed the importance of Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the Palestinian struggle, saying that national unity and total resistance are necessary for their liberation.
The statement stressed that the Islamic nation, the Arab world, and all freedom advocates worldwide share responsibility for establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, ending the occupation, and liberating Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem.
Hamas concluded by calling for sympathy and support for the Palestinian people to end the Gaza Strip crisis and compel Israel to address the root causes of the conflict.
Land Day originated in 1976 when Israel confiscated Palestinian land in the Galilee, sparking protests and a countrywide strike. Fatal clashes with Israeli forces cemented Land Day as a symbol of Palestinian resistance against land expropriation and homeland rights.
