Full statement:
[Click to expand]

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And hold fast to the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided.

To our people, our compatriots, and our brothers in beloved Syria, you who have written in the pages of history the names of revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives for the sake of God and for the great cause of the nation, namely Jerusalem and the environs of Jerusalem.
This land has always been a dream for your heroes to liberate and pray towards the first of the two Qiblahs, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The fifth day has passed, and two of our finest cadres are now in your care.

Brother Leader Engineer Khaled Khaled, responsible for the Syrian arena.

And Brother Leader Engineer Yasser Al-Zafari, responsible for the Organizing Committee.

Without any explanation of the reasons for their arrest, and in a manner we would not have hoped to see from our brothers whose land has always been a haven for loyal and free people, who throughout history have never left an occupier or tyrant without destroying them, out of their zeal for their religion and honor.

We, in Saraya al-Quds, hope that our brothers in the Syrian government will release our brothers held by them. We are hopeful that you are worthy of the Arab chivalry with which guests are honored and the people of truth are supported. We are confident that our brothers in your ranks are among those who have had a significant impact in working for the just cause of Palestine and providing relief to their families through humanitarian work during the lean years that Syria has experienced.

At this time, as we have been fighting the Zionist enemy continuously for more than a year and a half in the Gaza Strip without surrender, we hope to receive a helping hand and appreciation from our Arab brothers, not the other way around.

We, in Saraya al-Quds, emphasize that our rifles have never been aimed except at the enemy's chests since its inception and have never deviated from their primary goal, which is the entirety of Palestinian territory. When Saraya al-Quds offered martyrs from the Syrian arena, they offered them on the borders of occupied Palestine.

"It is a jihad, victory or martyrdom."

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 — Former Israeli defense minister Yoav Galant reveals in an interview that the IDF showed fake trenches and fake tunnels as they're Hamas tunnels.

📝He said:

Do you want me to tell you something about this photo? Let's break it down. I checked it. What the public doesn't see with their own eyes is that this trench isn't 20 or 30 meters underground.

This trench is only one meter underground, is for carrying water, and is covered, like the ones you sometimes pass while driving under a highway.

They covered it with dirt, someone took a picture of it, they made a big deal about it, a lot of headlines, and in the end, no weapons passed through the Philadelphi Corridor.
