“The blockade of essential aid, the bombing of hospitals, and the killing of innocent women and children are acts of profound inhumanity. Despite these hardships, the determination and resilience of the Palestinians, coupled with their faith in Allah, provide a fervent reminder of the importance of preparedness, knowledge, and strength. May Allah grant the oppressed triumph over the oppressors, its allies and sponsors.”
