Gaza, MINA – The military wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, on Sunday. reaffirmed its full commitment to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement across the Gaza Strip, while denying any involvement in or knowledge of the reported incident in Rafah. “We reaffirm our full commitment to carrying out all agreed-upon points, particularly the ceasefire throughout the entire Gaza Strip,” Al-Qassam said in an official statement, as quoted by Al Mayadeen.
“We have no information regarding any events or clashes in the Rafah area, as that zone is entirely under the control of the Israeli occupation forces. Rafah and its surroundings are a red zone controlled by the occupation forces,” the statement added.
Al-Qassam further noted that all communication with its remaining units in Rafah has been completely cut off since fighting resumed in March 2025. “Contact with our group there has been lost since the war resumed in March this year. We do not know whether they have been martyred or are still alive,” the group said.
The brigades therefore stressed that they have no connection to any events in the area and cannot communicate with their fighters there.
