Khalil Al-Hayya: "The spirit of Muslim resistance is increasing with every day. The spirit of martyrdom and martyrdom-seeking in our souls and hearts is growing every day. Rest assured, brothers, that you have people in Palestine who are determined to achieve victory.

"The martyrs, leaders, and sons that we sacrifice do not deter or scare us. Martyrdom means elevation and getting closer to Allah. The blood of the martyrs marks the path of victory towards Jerusalem and Palestine.

"Fear of the occupation — and the Americans behind it — has disappeared and will not return, Allah willing. We know full well that we have the Islamic nation behind us — with the Islamic Republic of Iran at its heart — and that it supports us, our resistance, and our people."
