Haniyeh: Al-Aqsa Storm will start from Gaza and reach West Bank

On Saturday morning, Palestinian resistance forces attacked occupied territories including Tel Aviv and Ashdod with more than 5,000 missiles and missiles in an operation called Al-Aqsa Storm. Haniyeh noted: “The main reason for the Al-Aqsa Storm resistance operation is the constant Zionist invasions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and other shrines, as well as the abuse of Palestinian prisoners.” He stressed that in recent days, thousands of criminal settlers have invaded the first qibla of Muslims, the al-Aqsa Mosque, and held religious ceremonies, and such actions are a prelude to the establishment of Zionist control over this shrine. The head of the Hamas political bureau noted that all Islamic countries, from east to west and from north to south, will defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and called on all Muslims and free people of the world to take part in this “just battle to protect the Islamic shrine.”

Ismail Haniyeh stressed that the Zionist enemy is trying to encircle Gaza, invade the West Bank and build settlements to drive the Palestinian people from their ancestral land. Following the continued crimes of the Zionist regime against Palestinians and Muslim holy sites in the occupied territories, Palestinian resistance fighters today launched a large-scale operation against the Zionist occupiers in the occupied territories by air, land and sea. Palestinian Resistance Rangers also landed in some areas of the occupied territories using paragliders and engaged Zionist forces. During the comprehensive operations of the Palestinian resistance in the occupied territories, several Zionist soldiers were killed or wounded, and 35 were captured.
