Al-Qassam: We will continue to prepare for the battle of liberation

Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has renewed its vow to continue working tirelessly above and below ground to prepare for the battle of liberation from the occupation.

This came during a memorial ceremony held in Gaza City for two of al-Qassam fighters, Ismail Shammali and Rami al-Arir, who recently died in a tunnel collapse incident.

In a speech, a spokesman for the Brigades affirmed that al-Qassam Brigades found no choice but to continue its training and preparation efforts in order to defend its people.

The spokesman hailed all the martyrs who died on the path of preparation and training as a “badge of honor for the Brigades and the Palestinian people,” calling for honoring them by rallying around their goal which they sacrificed their lives for.

For his part, senior Hamas official Mushir al-Masri applauded those martyrs as the “lions who defeated the impossible despite the blockade and repeated wars.”

“Those fighters are moving forward without rest or retreat, digging beneath earth and preparing above it, and their arms will not stop moving until they achieve the goal of al-Qassam Brigades and liberate Palestine,” Masri stated in a speech during the ceremony.
