ALBAWABA - The official Al-Qassam Brigades page on Telegram today posted a video clip translated into Turkish and Persian only, showcasing the strength of the resistance on the ground and depicting multiple military operations targeting Israeli vehicles and soldiers.

The video began with a statement by Abu Ubaida, saying, "Our resistance in Gaza is as steadfast as the mountains of Palestine, where there are no mountains in Gaza except its heroic mountains and its brave fighters who emerge and will emerge to confront this enemy from beneath every pile of ashes and among every rubble, with the strength of Almighty God."

On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Turkey is treating over 1,000 Hamas members in its hospitals. Erdogan also refused to call Hamas a terrorist organization.

Erdogan told reporters about Hamas losses and denounced Western weapons and ammunition strikes.

Erdogan voiced unhappiness with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' categorization of Hamas as a terrorist organization during talks in Ankara, stating that Hamas is a resistance movement defending its seized areas.

Erdogan also called on the entire community, notably Western countries, to condemn Israel's killing of nearly 35,000 Palestinians.

"We remain committed to diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a ceasefire in Israel and garnering increased recognition for the state of Palestine," he said.

Erdogan also noted the increased collaboration between Turkey and Greece in fighting terrorism and the necessity for a fair and permanent Cyprus solution based on reality.

Erdogan highlighted the expanding relationship with Greece in the battle against terrorism, reiterating their shared stance that terrorist groups had no place in the region's future.

Secret documents link Hamas to Turkey base for coordinated attacks

According to Israeli army papers found in Gaza, Hamas planned to build a hidden base in Turkey and cells in other areas. These attempts were intended to coordinate assaults against Israeli targets in neighboring nations, including NATO members.

According to "The Times" newspaper, the records reveal Israel's decade-long attempts to tighten the Gaza Strip embargo and put Hamas on the defensive.

The plan's unnamed creator considered military centers the only realistic alternative. These centers were intended to support military, diplomatic, and moral opposition via specialized activities.

In "Establishing a Base in Turkey," a three-year strategy is outlined. It involves creating many military cells and safe homes in different countries, training them, and preparing for sabotage and targeted killings.

The assassination targets include "officers and leaders of the Mossad," Israel's spy service, and important Israelis. Sabotaging Israeli naval vessels and abduction are also part of the strategy.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan further claimed that "over a thousand Hamas members" are receiving medical care in Turkish hospitals. Erdogan stressed that Hamas is not a terrorist group in his comments.
