The Al-Qassam Brigades announce that “the coming days will bring death that will come to you from different areas of the West Bank, at the hands of our fierce fighters, the sons of the leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh Al-Arouri, whom we are preparing and equipping to write with their heroism pages of glory in the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa that will gladden the hearts of our people, God willing. As long as the occupation continues to exterminate our people and children in Gaza.”
