The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says Palestinians are marking the Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, amid "brutal Zionist aggression, siege, starvation, killing, and destruction."
“On the blessed Eid al-Fitr, we remember the steadfastness of our great people and their heroic resistance, and we ask Allah to accept their acts of devotion, their struggle, their steadfastness, and their sacrifices,” Hamas said in a statement on Sunday.
It added, “This year, Eid al-Fitr arrives as our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and al-Quds face brutal Zionist aggression amidst siege, starvation, killing, and destruction, under a shameful international silence and the unconditional American support for the occupation.”
The Gaza-based group then urged Arab and Muslim nations to “double down on their efforts to support our people in Gaza, shoulder their responsibilities for escalating popular actions, exert pressure to end the aggression and lift the siege, and champion the just Palestinian cause.”
Hamas finally reiterated its pledge to remain firmly committed to Palestinians and tread the path of resistance until final victory is achieved and an independent sovereign Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital is established.
The Israeli military has continued launching airstrikes on various areas of Gaza since the early hours of Gaza, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza performed Eid al-Fitr prayers over the rubble of destroyed mosques, in displacement shelters, and beside the ruins of their homes amid the relentless Israeli bombardment.
The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial attack on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing over 920 people, injuring more than 2,000 others, and shattering the ceasefire agreement with Hamas and the deal on the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian abductees.
According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, more than 50,200 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 114,000 other individuals injured in the brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
