Hamas reports Gaza war toll after three years
Hamas celebrated the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 events, which they named "The Flood of Al-Aqsa," emphasizing that it was a pivotal milestone in their political and military project. They reaffirmed their right to resist the Israeli occupation until achieving the goal of establishing an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. They praised the popular support in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem that prevented plans for displacement, describing the operations as a response to decades of blockade and oppression. They reported that the operations resulted in the martyrdom of more than 74,000 Palestinians and injuries to over 175,000, along with the arrest of thousands and many others lost under the rubble, asserting that these figures are well-documented and will not be forgotten. They criticized Israel for ongoing restrictions and suffering, especially after the ceasefire, noting that roughly 1,500 Palestinians were killed and over 5,000 injured, amidst increasing settler attacks and arrests in the West Bank and Jerusalem. The movement pointed to the decline in international support for Israel and called for a review of global policies, highlighting the responsibility of international parties to pressure Israel to fulfill its commitments, including delivering aid and reconstruction. They also demanded that Israeli leaders be prosecuted judicially for war crimes. On the political front, Hamas confirmed its efforts to unify the Palestinian ranks to confront Israeli policies. They called on the international community to increase solidarity and mentioned their leaders who were martyred during the operations, viewing their path as a continuation of the movement’s activity and denying any slowdown in resistance.
