Abu Obaida issues statement Thursday

Abu Obaida, the spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, issued a statement on Telegram Thursday calling for intensified resistance across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in response to ongoing 'Israeli' military operations and settler violence.

He said that Palestinian fighters continue their “heroic operations” from Hebron to Jenin, confronting 'Israeli' forces and settler groups in retaliation for what he described as a growing assault on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the escalation of crimes by the occupation forces and settlers, which he claimed have turned Palestinian lives into “unbearable hell.”

Abu Obaida called on Palestinian youth to escalate resistance activities throughout the West Bank and Jerusalem and to “rise up in the face of aggressors,” aiming to deter further attacks and prevent the annexation of additional Palestinian land.

His statement comes amid heightened tensions and intensified 'Israeli' military raids across the West Bank.
