According to an US official, Tower 22 American base was attacked by a suicide drone at the same time a US drone was returning from a mission, causing a delayed response.

This is the attack that killed 3 US soldiers. The level of strategy that went into this operation to cause maximal damage with just 1 drone is spectacular. Glory to the resistance

Media advisor to the head of the Hamas political bureau, Taher al-Nunu:

• Firstly, we are talking about a comprehensive and complete ceasefire, not a temporary truce.

• The fundamental point is to halt the aggression on the Gaza Strip, and when that is achieved, other details can be discussed.

So much hate ! Much more than you would expect . Latent hate . Historical hate . Much more than should be expected , for any injustice by Palestinians towards the Israelis in the past eighty years . Hate that the Israelis brought with them from Germany . And some speak of a one state solution , a mixed democratic society . And some speak about a two state solution , two nations living side by side in peace . Neither are possible , given the degree of hate ! And if we rule out a one state solution , either mixed or ethnically pure , Israeli or Palestinian , as being impossible . Hate not allowing it to exist . Nor a two state solution . Hate not allowing it to exist . Then whatever is left , however improbable must be true . And what is left ............NO STATE . A permanent state of hate and war . By Occam's Razer !

Almost 4 months after the start of the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip, Hamas continues to shell central Israel from the Gaza Strip.

80% of the tunnels in the Gaza Strip have not been destroyed and are controlled by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

The areas of Gaza from which the IDF retreated after suffering losses are again occupied by Hamas troops.

With english subs (https://t.me/FotrosResistance/4937)

• We continue to confront the israeli aggression machinery on all battlefronts, and we have executed a series of operations.

• What we declare in terms of operations is not to boost morale but carry military significance that has reached the occupier.

• Netanyahu's threats to continue the war will not be beneficial.

• We say to the enemy and the families of the prisoners, even if you search the sands of Gaza, your prisoners will not return to you except by a decision of the resistance.

• We targeted the supply lines of the occupation army east of Jabalia and in the central region.

Abu Hamza:

• We say to the leaders and peoples of Islamic and Arab countries, "Our disappointment in you is immense. What will you say to God on the Day of Judgment? We used to fast, pray, and neglect supporting Palestine? Indeed, Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."

A Review Of Actions Made By Axis Of Resistance Against US, Israel In Region: US Bases Struck 200 Times!

The missile and drone attacks by resistance groups against the positions of US terrorist forces in the West Asia region, which began after the Israeli regime’s military aggression against the Gaza Strip and aimed at putting pressure on the regime’s forces, continue and the scope of these attacks has also covered the positions of the Israeli regime in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group representing several Iraqi armed factions, immediately began attacks against the forces of the Israeli regime in the region a few days after the onset of the battle between the Israeli regime military forces and the Palestinian resistance fighters. With the intensity of the clashes and the reaction of the United States to the resistance actions, the quality and quantity of the attacks also increased. Over time, the scope of these attacks expanded and spread to the positions of the Israeli-occupied territories.

Up to the time of writing this news story (23:00 Jan 30), resistance groups have carried out 200 missile, rocket, and drone operations against the illegal bases of the US terrorist army in the countries of Iraq and Syria as well as the occupied Palestinian territories.

These attacks by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq continued even after the recent agreement between the incumbent government in Baghdad and Washington’s Biden administration regarding the withdrawal of American military forces from the Arab country. It seems that, despite the announcements about the withdrawal of the United States from Iraq, as long as the departure of the occupiers is not visibly and realistically seen on the ground, the resistance group’s attacks will not cease. Iraqi resistance groups insist on the actual withdrawal of US forces from both Iraq and Syria.

However, it should be added that after the drone attacks on al-Tanf area and al-Rukban base on January 28, which resulted in the death of 3 American soldiers; Kataib Hezbollah of Iraq, one of the powerful subgroups of Islamic Resistance in Iraq, announced the temporary halt of attacks on American bases in Syria and Iraq. However, it seems that the attacks of other groups on American positions are continuing.

| A senior israeli official told Channel 13: “We have not received a response from Hamas yet [regarding the prisoner’s exchange,] and we estimate that it will come from Qatar soon.”

| Hamas leader Osama Hamdan regarding the prisoner’s exchange:

• We have essential concerns regarding the proposed prisoners’ exchange deal, and we continue to discuss them with different resistance factions to formulate a unified response to present to the mediators.

• In our negotiations, we will seek guarantees for the enemy's commitment, and unless the occupation succeeds on the ground, it will not succeed in politics.

• We will not tolerate any undermining of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

• The primary assurance for the enemy’s commitment to any agreement lies in our capability to respond to aggression from diverse arenas.
