The spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, "Abu Ubaida," announced that "32 weeks since October 7, the people of Gaza and its resistors have been engaged in an unequal war and a legendary defense against the barbarity of the enemy." During a video statement, "Abu Ubaida" pointed out that "the enemy's army boasts of the crimes it has committed in Gaza as military achievements." He stated, "We are ready for a long war of attrition with the enemy." He noted that "the terror and systematic crime is the established strategy employed by the enemy in Gaza," and added, "The enemy believes that it will find no resistance in Rafah, but it has entered hell again and faces fierce resistance." He emphasized, "Despite the war of hunger, destruction, and killing, our resistance, supported by our people, emerges before the enemy from everywhere, and as we have promised the enemy every time it hopes to achieve a victory or accomplishment, it will find us in front of it." He stressed that "the American weapons used to annihilate our people cause massive destruction, which is the only achievement of the beleaguered enemy."
