The spokesman for Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades on Friday saluted the bravery and effectiveness of Hezbollah’s fighters, who continue to deliver punishing blows to the Israeli occupation forces in defense of Lebanon.

Abu Obeida praised “the arms of Hezbollah’s fighters who have inflicted heavy losses on the Zionist enemy and continued to do so, as part of their heroic resistance to the aggression against Lebanon, its people, and its sovereignty — a right and a duty guaranteed by all laws.”

He stressed that Israel’s ongoing crimes and occupation are futile attempts to mask its strategic failures across the region. “By continuing its crimes and occupation, the enemy is trying to compensate for its failures on various fronts, and is striving to divide the resistance fronts, but it is trying in vain,” Abu Obeida said. “For more than two and a half years it has reaped nothing but disappointment and defeat.”

Lebanese resistance fighters have stood firm in defense of their homeland, responding to repeated Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty with determination and resilience. Hezbollah’s sustained operations have proven highly effective in deterring further aggression and protecting Lebanon’s right to self-defense.

The statement from Hamas underscores the unbreakable bond between the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements, both of which are confronting the same occupier. Despite Israel’s attempts to sow division, the coordinated fronts continue to expose the limits of Israeli military power and highlight the steadfastness of Lebanon and its people in the face of aggression.

This latest message of solidarity arrives as Lebanon remains vigilant against Israeli incursions, with Hezbollah playing a central role in safeguarding national sovereignty and dignity. (ILKHA)
