Hamas Military Wing Spokesperson Calls Oct. 7 a 'Military Miracle'

The military spokesperson for Hamas's Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades issued a statement on Wednesday, marking the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks. Addressing the people of Gaza, the spokesperson stated, "Great people of Gaza, the price was high, but your actions were magnificent. Generations will remember you as defenders of the nation." The statement referred to the October 7th events as a "military miracle by the grace of God."

"Three years since the blessed transition, the day our people's hands shattered the occupation's security doctrine once and for all, leaving no deterrence, no decisive action, no warning," the statement continued. It offered "glorious praise to the heroes and martyrs of the great transition, leaders and soldiers alike, and to our great people, the beginning and end of this story."

"Generations will remember you as creators of glory, changing history and the global balance of power, and as steadfast defenders of the honor of the nation and the holy sites in this narrow, besieged strip of land, which awakened the conscience of the free and exposed all conspirators and cowards," the spokesperson added.

The statement further described October 7th as a "military miracle, by the grace and favor of God." It highlighted the enemy's awareness of the "splendor of planning and execution, and the brilliance of the exemplary strategic deception" employed by the resistance fighters, exploiting "the narcissism, arrogance, and contempt of Netanyahu towards his opponents."

"Palestine will not forget those who supported it, especially those who shed their blood for it. The desecration of Al-Aqsa and the bleeding wound of Gaza cry out to everyone without exception," the statement concluded.
