Abu Obaidah, a spokesperson for Ezzedin Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said some parties are exploiting the state of chaos in the Palestinian territories to harm the resistance by disarming the groups of their weapons. The armed wings of the national and Islamic factions signed a written national covenant of honor to protect the resistance from such plots. In a statement to the press, Abu Obaidah said: âThe covenant states that as long as the Israeli occupation continues, the resistance will remain the peopleâs national and strategic choice as a means of fighting this occupation. The covenant stresses on saving the national constants.â The covenant was signed by the armed wings of Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, PFLP, DFLP and the Popular Resistance Committee. Fatah was represented by three armed wings, and each other faction had one armed wing represented. |
