Displaced Palestinians and residents in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah have stressed their support for the resistance movements, in a statement released by Quds Press.

They confirmed in the statement received by Quds Press: “The residents and those displaced in Rafah categorically support the Palestinian resistance.”

They called on: “The Palestinian factions, popular groups, clans, scholars and national components to play their role in the initiative to protect the popular support and backing emergency and protection committees by forming popular protection committees.”

The statement also called on: “The security services to strike with an iron fist anyone who dares attack our people and their capabilities from any direction and to activate the revolutionary law.”

The people of Rafah and those displaced to it called for: “The formation of popular protection committees to strengthen the people and protect them from the infiltration of war merchants, monopolists, outlaws and fleeing spies, and to form a deterrent against them immediately.”

“We, the people of Rafah, residents and displaced, confirm that we will not leave our land, and we will protect the resistance”, read part of the statement by Palestinians in Rafah and added,” We will not migrate, neither by force nor voluntarily. We, along with all those concerned, will protect our land, our resistance, our homes, and our honor, and we will be an impenetrable wall in the face of the occupation and its supporters.”

In more than four months of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, nearly 28,900 people, most of them children and women, have lost their lives and more than 68,600 injured.
