Video released via Sada al-Malahim encouraging attacks against the West:

“You must have realised by now that we cannot lift this injustice except through jihad, so show your sorrow for the suffering of your Muslim brothers and avenge them, and teach them that the ummah [global Muslim community] of Islam is like one body…[be] discreet and not consult anyone in the killing of Jews and Americans.”“Briefing: Al-Qaeda’s ‘Inspire’ video urges attacks in the West to avenge Gaza,” BBC Monitoring, December 30, 2023, https://monitoring.bbc.co.uk/product/c204vobb.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
