US behind Wheel in War on Gaza: Hamas Official
Meshaal said the current aggression on the Gaza Strip is being carried out under the command of the United States with the aim of crushing Hamas and the people who support it.
The Zionist enemy and it supporters seek the elimination of Hamas and Gaza but, God willing, they will never achieve it, he stated, Anadolu Agency reported.
Noting that Palestinians remained steadfast and defeated Israel in five consecutive wars with Israel, he underlined that the people and resistance fighters of Palestine will achieve victory this time as well.
Meshaal deplored the Zionist regime’s crimes against the people of Gaza, saying all members of 50 families have been massacred in the Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave.
Given the need to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque and the people of Gaza against the occupation regime, Jihad is Wajib (obligatory) today, he went on to say.
The Zionist regime’s brutal war against the people of Gaza started on October 7 after Hamas carried out a surprise attack against the regime, called Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, by firing thousands of rockets at the occupied territories.
The operation, which was a legitimate response to recurrent acts of violence against Palestinians, touched off an incessant onslaught by the illegal entity on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 4,700 people, mostly civilians, while leaving more than 15,000 others injured.
