Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, issued an official statement on Tuesday lauding Iran's missile strikes on Israeli targets.

Abu Obeida, the spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, described the Iranian response as a powerful blow to the Israeli occupation.

“We congratulate the Iranian response that extended to the entire geography of occupied Palestine and dealt a strong blow to the criminal occupation that thought its rampage in the region and its aggression against its people could pass without punishment," Abu Obeida declared.

He further emphasized the significance of the event, calling it "an exceptional day in the history of the conflict." Obeida pointed to the convergence of resistance movements from across the region, noting that "the fires of the nation’s resistance fighters intersected in the skies of Palestine, and Tel Aviv was exposed to the strikes of the mujahideen from Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran."

Abu Obeida's statement concluded with a rallying call to all supporters of the Palestinian cause, urging "all the free people of the nation to take part in the liberation of Palestine."

The statement comes after Iran launched a retaliatory strike against Israeli targets, an escalation following the rising tensions in the region, with actors across multiple fronts now engaging in the conflict. (ILKHA)
