The crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces in northern Gaza are just another link in a long chain of massacres that have targeted the Palestinian people since the beginning of the occupation.
The world is witnessing today the Israeli brutality in targeting civilians, especially women and children, in a desperate attempt to terrorize the Palestinian people and break their will. However, the long Palestinian experience has proven that such crimes will not weaken the determination of the resistance and will not deter the Palestinian people from continuing their path towards freedom and liberation.
The brutal attacks launched by the occupation on northern Gaza are part of its colonial plans to dismantle the infrastructure of the resistance and strike at its heart. What the occupation fails to realize is that the Palestinian resistance is not just battalions or rockets, but it is the will of a people living under oppression and siege, clinging to their steadfast national rights. Furthermore, these crimes, no matter how heinous, cannot kill the national spirit embodied in every Palestinian household, nor can they extinguish the hope that fuels every new generation.
The occupation has repeatedly tried to eliminate the Palestinian cause through killing and destruction, but it has only succeeded in increasing the Palestinians' adherence to their rights. In this context, every massacre committed, whether in Gaza or the West Bank, further unites the Palestinian front and pushes the youth towards resistance. The massacres we witness today in northern Gaza are just another confirmation that the occupation has not learned from its past mistakes, and that it fails to realize that military power alone cannot decide the battle of wills.
What distinguishes the Palestinian resistance today is its ability to adapt to different circumstances and develop itself to be more prepared to confront Israeli crimes. The siege, bombing, and destruction have not broken the determination of the resistance but have made it more resilient. The occupation, which thinks it can impose its control on Gaza by force, forgets that Gaza, despite the siege, has become a global symbol of resilience and resistance.
On the other hand, history has shown that the Israeli occupation relies on massacres to intimidate the Palestinians, from the Deir Yassin massacre to Sabra and Shatila, and today the massacres in Gaza are part of that oppressive policy. However, the repeated failure of these policies is what always drives Palestinians to cling to the option of armed resistance as the only means to deter the occupation and achieve justice. Resistance is not just a legitimate right for oppressed peoples, but a necessary imperative in the face of the daily repression by the occupation.
The occupation has escalated its attacks on civilians in northern Gaza, targeting homes and densely populated residential areas, resulting in thousands of martyrs and wounded. This deliberate killing of children, women, and elderly is a crime against humanity that the leaders of the occupation must be held accountable for. While the occupation tries to cover up its crimes with baseless allegations about protecting its national security, the world is fully aware that what is happening in Gaza is a heinous war crime aimed at breaking the will of the resistance and achieving pure colonial goals.
In light of this situation, the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian resistance in particular, remain steadfast in the face of this fierce attack. The spirit that distinguishes the Palestinian resistance is a spirit that knows no despair. The resistance fighters have built their infrastructure with patriotic hands, and their weapons are derived from free will, not foreign domination. More importantly, the resistance still holds new surprises for the occupation and is always ready to respond to every massacre and violation.
The occupation's attempt to change the reality in Gaza through killing and destruction will only enhance the determination of the resistance fighters. The occupation relies on massacres to instill fear in the hearts of Palestinians, but it does not realize that fear is no longer an effective weapon against the will of the resistance. What the occupation seeks is to suffocate Gaza and break its resilience, but it faces fierce resistance that has turned Gaza into a stronghold of steadfastness in the face of the strongest colonial force in modern history.
It is worth mentioning that the massacres committed by the occupation are not just transient violations, but part of a deliberate policy aimed at weakening the social and political structure in Gaza. With each bombing operation, the Palestinian people's resistance grows and their determination to move forward towards liberation increases. In this context, we can confirm that the massacres committed by "Israel" in northern Gaza will only lead to further unity and solidarity among Palestinians, strengthening the spirit of resistance and renewing determination to achieve national goals.
In the end, despite all the challenges we face, the bloodshed in northern Gaza remains evidence of the brutality and crimes of the occupation. We believe that Palestinian resistance will continue, and future generations will continue the struggle until national rights are achieved. Therefore, Israeli massacres will not deter the Palestinian people from fighting for their freedom but will only increase their determination to resist and achieve justice.
The blood of the martyrs in northern Gaza will not be forgotten, and will remain witness to the brutality and crimes of the occupation. Gaza will remain, despite all the massacres, a stronghold of resilience and a center of Palestinian resistance, a symbol of the struggle for freedom.
In this context, we affirm that the future belongs to the Palestinian people, and that resistance is the only strategic option to achieve their goals. History has proven that popular will cannot be suppressed, and the Palestinian people will continue to resist until the dream of return and liberation is realized.
