Palestinian Resistance Committees Commemorate 19th Anniversary of Heroic 'Operation Dispelled Illusion'
The Palestinian Resistance Committees commemorated on Wednesday the 19th anniversary of the heroic 'Operation Dispelled Illusion,' carried out jointly by Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, Al-Qassam Brigades (military wing of Hamas), and the Army of Islam. The operation came as a direct response to the assassination of the prominent resistance leader and founder of the committees, martyr Jamal Abu Samhadana (Abu Ataya).
In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the committees said that 'Operation Dispelled Illusion' marked a humiliating defeat for the Zionist enemy and opened the door to a major intelligence and security war, which led to the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit from inside his tank and the killing of several Israeli soldiers at the Kerem Shalom military site east of Rafah.
They added that the blessed 'Al-Aqsa Flood' operation on October 7, which humiliated the Zionist entity, is a natural extension of 'Operation Dispelled Illusion' and the subsequent painful blows dealt to Israeli intelligence agencies—demonstrating the superiority of the Palestinian resistance's strategic capabilities. These efforts culminated in the 'Wafa al-Ahrar' prisoner swap deal, which secured the release of over 1,000 Palestinian male and female prisoners against the will of the occupying Zionist regime.
On this occasion, the committees paid tribute to the souls of the martyred commanders: Mohammed Deif, Ahmed Al-Jaabari, Kamal Al-Nairab, Raed Al-Attar, Imad Hamad, Mohammed Abu Shamala, Marwan Issa, Hisham Abu Nasira, and the great martyr of the nation, Ismail Haniyeh.
They also saluted the heroic martyrs who executed the operation—Hamed Al-Rantisi and Mohammed Farwana—and all the brave martyrs who contributed to its success and the prisoner swap deal that followed. Special recognition was given to the members of the 'Shadow Unit' for safeguarding Shalit for over five years.
The committees reaffirmed that the Palestinian resistance, through its various valiant military wings and factions, remains steadfast in its relentless efforts until the liberation of all Palestinian prisoners who endure the oppression of the Zionist jailers in what they described as 'graves of death' known as Zionist prisons.

Abu Obeida: Al-Aqsa Flood led to end of Zionist deterrence
Gaza – Saba: Spokesman for Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida confirmed on Sunday that al-Aqsa Flood led to the end of Zionist deterrence forever. In a tweet monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) on the anniversary of the martyrdom of former al-Qassam Brigades commander Mohammed al-Deif, Abu Obeida said: 'A year has passed since the passing of the great martyr of the nation, Commander Mohammed Deif, who, along with his brothers, led al-Aqsa Flood, delivering the harshest blow in its history to the Zionist enemy. This led to the end of Zionist deterrence forever, unifying the nation's energies, directing its compass toward Palestine, and restoring the Palestinian cause to the forefront once again.' Abu Obeida added: 'The brothers of Deif (the former commander of al-Qassam Brigades), his sons, and his loved ones around the world continue on his path, inflicting more strategic losses on the occupation every day, and his specter will remain a nightmare that haunts war criminals and thieves.' Those who will not enjoy life in the land of Palestine after al-Daif and his brothers wrote with their blood the final chapter in the book of Palestine's liberation. He added: Decades of jihad, persecution, sacrifice, leadership, and creativity were crowned with martyrdom, so that our great leader may join the ranks of our people's martyrs and great leaders. His blood and that of his fellow leaders will mingle with the blood of our people and our nation, who sacrificed their most precious possessions for Al-Aqsa and Palestine. He continued al-Daif has revived throughout the entire nation the memory of the Companions and the early mujahideen, such as Ali, Khalid, al-Qa'aqa, al-Muthanna, and other conquering leaders. For decades, Abu Obeida has remained an inspiration to generations who did not know his face but who were proud of the deeds of his victorious battalions. He will remain, like other great leaders, a beacon for all the free people of the world. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Democratic Front condemns Netanyahu attempts to foil negotiations
Gaza - Saba: The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) condemned the attempts of the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his partners in fascism and criminality, to push the indirect Doha negotiations to the brink of failure by sowing complications and mines in their path, preventing them from reaching consensus on the points of contention. In a statement issued Sunday and received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the DFLP also condemned "his attempts to push our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip toward starvation and displacement through acts of mass killing, to force our displaced families to flee and become unstable, leaving them in a state of displacement, loss of stability and livelihood, and suffering from hunger. This is all done with the aim of dragging the population south and confining them to a mass detention camp called the "Humanitarian City," as a prelude to their displacement outside the Gaza Strip." The DFLP called on "mediators to exert greater pressure on the Israeli negotiator to comply with solutions that pave the way for the complete withdrawal of enemy forces from the Gaza Strip and to close the way to the project of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the mass displacement of our people from the Gaza Strip." The Democratic Front called on "national forces, social activists, and activists in the Gaza Strip to work diligently to provide everything possible to strengthen the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and lift the heavy burden off their shoulders, enabling them to face the difficult moments of the negotiations. This is in the hope of breaking the enemy's stubbornness and intransigence, reaching a point that guarantees a ceasefire, providing humanitarian aid, and opening the way for an end to the war and the withdrawal of enemy forces."
