51 days after his last appearance, yesterday, Sunday, Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), came out with a video speech 100 days after the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
As usual, in any speech given by Abu Ubaida – or as the audience on social media platforms calls him, “The Masked One” – those following the events in Gaza begin by analyzing his speech, the messages that came in it, and the losses incurred by the Palestinian resistance to the Israeli forces penetrating the Strip.
Bloggers said that Abu Ubaida’s video speech after 100 days of fierce battles against the Israeli forces penetrating the Gaza Strip is a victory in itself, and it also demonstrated the failure of the occupation to silence the voice of the resistance, as well as to stop its missiles and “Yasinha,” according to their expressions in reference to the missiles. Al-Yassin 105, stressing that the command and control system in the Al-Qassam Brigades is effective and works calmly and focused, so the exit of Abu Ubaida can only be under the guidance and decision of the Commander-in-Chief, Muhammad Al-Deif, and the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Al-Sanwar.
Tweeters described “The Masked One’s” speech as strong and his greatest speech since the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, and that it was not similar to the rest of his previous speeches, pointing out that the speech was studied with pen and paper and did not leave a gap without addressing it, according to their description.
I attended Abu Ubaida’s speech more than five times and refuted him word for word. It contains great messages for those who are aware, clarifying the situation on the ground, and that the resistance is steadfast with you or without you, until God permits victory or martyrdom. Stand up to defend your sanctities as long as blood does not affect you, for He who spread the earth and raised the sky. He is the Most Powerful and He is the Manifest, so no one is incapable of Him

But there is something that caught the attention of the audience on social media platforms in Abu Ubaida’s speech, which is the message he addressed to a billion Muslims that the Israeli occupation destroyed most of Gaza’s mosques and stopped the call to prayer. The “masked man” also restored the battle to its original origin, that it came as a result of what is happening in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and an attempt to He demolished it after dividing it and bringing in the red cows, and described it as a religious war, as he put it.
To understand the story of the red cows, the Palestinian writer Sherine Arafa wrote a blog post about the red cows and tweeted: “Last July, via a private plane coming from the American state of Texas, the Israeli government brought in 5 red cows, which were carefully selected according to the conditions stipulated in the books.” Judaism, in order to burn those cows and scatter their ashes in front of Al-Aqsa, marking the beginning of the process of building the Third Temple on top of the ruins of the Dome of the Rock Mosque, in accordance with Biblical teachings.
I couldn’t get past the letter.
This is the greatest speech I have ever heard in my life, a well-thought-out speech with pen and paper that left no loophole without addressing it.But from my point of view, the most important thing in the speech is to return the battle to its original origin. This battle came as a result of what is happening in… #Al-Aqsa Mosque Al-Mubarak and the attempt to demolish it after its division and the accompanying…

You, the wise and intelligent person, noticed in Abu Ubaida’s speech his focus on demolishing mosques, which the occupation took as an approach in this war..
Abu Ubaida wants to draw your attention to the fact that the occupation wanted it to be a religious war from day one, so it destroyed the houses of God and disrupted the call to prayer and prayer.
So the masked man called you to defend the houses of God and save blood… pic.twitter.com/rPLjs1f9K2– Khaled Safi 🇵🇸 Khaled Safi (@KhaledSafi) January 14, 2024
“Most of the weapons with which we fight the occupation are of our own making, but the most important industry that we possess is the manufacturing of human combatants.” This phrase was also one of the most prominent things that those following the speech of the spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades responded to, as Abu Ubaida spoke about the weapons used by al-Qassam fighters as Homemade, but the manufacture of the human being and the Mujahid fighter is the most prominent thing that Al-Qassam focused on.
“The resistance does not have weapons depots.”
Abu Ubaida spoke about Al-Qassam not having weapons depots, not even a single depot, which categorically denies the enemy’s story, in which he tried to show off fictitious achievements that have neither near nor remote basis.
This is part of the philosophy of the resistance’s work, as it is not an army…

It seems that the interest in Abu Ubaida’s speech exceeded that of many football fans, as Palestinian pages circulated a picture of a person listening to Abu Ubaida’s speech while attending the Palestine-Iran match in the stands of the Madinah Al-Talema Stadium as part of the Asian Cup matches held in Qatar.
