An Iraqi anti-terror group has warned Israel of resumption of its operations against strategic positions deep inside the Israeli-occupied territories in case the occupying regime opts to re-launch its military onslaught against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

“We ceased our operations following the Gaza ceasefire agreement. We will, however, return to the battlefield once the [Zionist] enemy recommences its strikes [against Gaza],” Akram al-Kaabi, secretary general of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, stated on Tuesday.

He stressed that his group will never abandon the issue of Palestine as the “foremost and principal issue” of the Muslim world.

The Nujaba chief congratulated all freedom-seeking people of the world, especially forces within the Axis of Resistance, on the victory of the Palestinian resistance front in Operation al-Aqsa Flood.

He also appreciated the sublime guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the support of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Kaabi then paid tribute to the late secretary-general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, Hajj Mushtaq Talib al-Saidi (Abu Taqwa).

“This legendary resistance should be included in textbooks and taught. We have become victorious and stronger. Weakness and retreat have no place in our lexicon, and we won’t allow al-Quds to be wiped off the map of the [West Asia] region.

“We rely on the unity and increasing authority of our axis and have no need for the United Nations, the Arab League, and the like,” he stated.

The Nujaba secretary-general underscored that Muslim nations must know that they must decide their own fate without foreign interference.

“The joy of Palestinian people and the Axis of Resistance, in contrast to Zionists’ disappointment, shows who the real victor is. Although we lost great commanders, we finished this battle mightily and triumphantly.”

He described the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza and explosions of communication devices across Lebanon as a real Holocaust, and much more heinous than the atrocities committed by Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.

“Europeans are fully complicit in Israeli crimes as they settled Zionists in Palestinian lands and have constantly supported them,” Kaabi said.

Syria’s return to Axis of Resistance

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Nujaba chief dismissed allegations about Syria’s departure from the Axis of Resistance, stressing that the Arab nation will soon rejoin the front.

“Those who think that the Axis of Resistance has lost Syria should wait a little while to see that, God willing, both Syria and other regions will join the axis,” he stated.

Kaabi also warned of Israeli security and terror plots, calling upon Iraqi resistance forces to elevate their internal security levels to prevent infiltration and materialization of the enemy’s schemes, adopt more effective intelligence and security measures to deter the Zionist regime, and confront the usurping entity through media campaigns.
