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.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the announcement by the US administration and the British government to impose sanctions on leading figures and cadres in Hamas movement. We consider this measure to be part of the collusion of the American and British governments with the Zionist entity in its aggression against our people and the demonization of its legitimate resistance.

“This unjust decision, which is based on false claims and incitement by the Zionist entity, will not deter the Hamas movement from continuing its duty to defend the legitimate national rights of our Palestinian people.

“We call on the American administration and the British government to review their aggressive policies towards our Palestinian people and to stop their biased policy towards the criminal Zionist side that is committing the most heinous crimes against our people, our land, and our Islamic and Christian holy sites.”Hamas statement, Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 13, 2023.

“The American administration has not only given the green light to this Zionist aggression and the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people, but has always positioned itself as a loyal advocate for (Israel) in all stages of its aggression and terrorism. Today, it brazenly repeats the Zionist lies, which hold Hamas responsible for resuming the war and not extending the humanitarian truce.”Tom O’Connor, “Hamas Takes Aim at Biden as Truce Gives Way to New Fighting in Gaza,” Newsweek, December 1, 2023, https://www.newsweek.com/hamas-biden-truce-fighting-gaza-1848905.

An editorial endorsing jihad after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7:

“We give nafeer [a call for universal mobilization] for every individual of the Muslim Ummah, every man and every woman to say Labbaik [yes] to the battle cry of jihad. The war against Israel and America will not be waged just in Israel and America, the entire world is the battlefield. And in this world today, no Israeli, no American, no European and non-European Zionist is safe; there is no protection for the embassies of these warring unbelievers; there is no protection for their civilians; wherever you find them, turn them into the fuel of hell.”“Al-Qaeda In The Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) Publishes Special Issue Of Its Urdu-Language Journal ‘Nawa-i-Ghazwa-e-Hind’ On Hamas’s October 7 Attack, Calls For Universal Mobilization Of Muslims: ‘Those Who Can Get Explosives Or Biological Weapons, Use Them – Those Who Can Use Knife Or Kalashnikov, Attack The Unbelievers’; ‘The Entire World Is The Battlefield... No Israeli, No American, No European And Non-European Zionist Is Safe,’” Middle East Media Research Institute, November 15, 2023, https://www.memri.org/jttm/al-qaeda-indian-subcontinent-aqis-publishes-special-issue-its-urdu-language-journal-nawa-i.

In an interview with NBC News about Hezbollah’s month-long rocket campaign against Israel after Hamas’s October 7 massacre:

“Those in the Axis of Resistance have seen that the mastermind is America. So they strike America under the principle of sending a message to stop. Just as Israel should stop. How does America and the rest of the world have the right to stand on the side of Israel that kills civilians and children and destroys homes while we don’t have the right to support our people and our loved ones in Palestine and the region?” Matt Bradley and Natasha Lebedeva, “Iran-backed groups threaten to expand Gaza war as they step up attacks on Israel and U.S.,” NBC News, November 7, 2023, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/hezbollah-iran-attacks-israel-gaza-war-death-toll-rcna123959.

“Since the outbreak of the war, the US has threatened to bomb us in Lebanon from its military ships in the Mediterranean. We are prepared for whatever scenario. If an all-out war breaks out, you Americans will pay with your ships, your aircrafts and your soldiers. Remember your defeats in Lebanon and Iraq, and your humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those who defeated you in Lebanon in the 1980s are still alive and their children and grandchildren are ready to face you.

“Your fleet in the Mediterranean do not scare us… We are ready to face the fleet you threaten us with. Whoever wants to prevent a regional war must quickly stop the aggression on Gaza.”Gianluca Pacchiani, “‘A civilian for a civilian’: Nasrallah threatens attacks against Israelis, US troops in region,” Times of Israel, November 3, 2023, https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/a-civilian-for-a-civilian-nasrallah-threatens-attacks-against-israelis-us-troops-in-region/.

“Center your focus these days on the Jews and the Americans everywhere. Sink their vessels, down their planes, raid their barracks, and eliminate every one of their soldiers. Do not spare any barracks or any event without attacking them. This is your duty. Strike them in their own backyard and everywhere.
