Abu Ubaida: ‘Only direction we are migrating is back to our homeland’

Abu Ubaida, the Izzideen al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson, addressed Palestinians in a speech on Friday afternoon, urging Palestinians to remain steadfast and not respond to Israeli calls to leave their homes.

“Israel is removing Palestinians from their homes and lands for a second time, and we have responded to the Zionist crimes by targeting them and Ben Gurion,” he said, and that “the only direction we are migrating is back to our rightful lands.”

“Displacement and exile is not for us, Israel is carrying out psychological warfare through the threats and their dark history, which shows they carry out crimes and killings as a form of collective punishment,” he added.

Abu Ubaida also urged Palestinians to “be patient and steadfast, victory will be ours.”
