The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Resistance, has issued a powerful warning to the Israeli occupation, vowing that Gaza will become the graveyard of its invading forces.

The statement comes amid fierce battles across the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian fighters continue to inflict significant losses on the occupation army.

In a strongly worded declaration, the Brigades said: “We do not fear you. We are prepared to send your soldiers’ souls to hell. We have built an army of martyrs, prepared thousands of ambushes and explosive devices, and Gaza will be the graveyard of your soldiers.”

The resistance movement emphasized that the occupation is now engaged in a drawn-out war of attrition that will inevitably result in more casualties and more captives on the Israeli side. “Our mujahideen have been trained to place explosive devices inside your military vehicles. Your bulldozers will become primary targets, and a path to increasing the number of captives we hold,” the statement warned.

Al-Qassam revealed that Israeli captives are spread across Gaza City neighborhoods, and their fate is directly tied to the decisions of the Israeli political and military leadership. “We will not be concerned for the lives of your prisoners, as long as Netanyahu has chosen to kill them. The continuation and expansion of this criminal operation guarantees that you will receive none of your prisoners, neither alive nor dead. Their fate will be the same as that of Ron Arad,” the Brigades said, referring to the Israeli airman captured by Lebanese resistance forces in 1986 who was never returned.

The statement concluded with a resounding message that has become the motto of the Palestinian struggle: “It is a struggle for victory or martyrdom.”

The warning came just hours after Israeli media reported that four occupation soldiers were killed and eight others wounded when Palestinian fighters detonated an explosive device against their military Humvee. Resistance factions have stepped up attacks on Israeli military convoys, bulldozers, and armored vehicles, forcing the occupation to admit growing losses despite its attempts to suppress casualty figures.

Palestinian fighters have vowed to continue their defense of the besieged Gaza Strip until the aggression is stopped and the ethnic cleansing of the population is brought to an end. Beyond the battlefield, Palestinian groups are also intensifying diplomatic efforts, seeking international pressure to halt the war crimes and collective punishment carried out by the occupation.

The statement by Al-Qassam serves as a clear message to Tel Aviv: Gaza will not surrender. Instead, the resistance is prepared for a prolonged struggle, turning every street and alleyway into a trap for invading forces — until justice and liberation are achieved. (ILKHA)
