Al-Qaeda Joins Hamas in the Jihad Against Israel-And it’s clashing with IDF forces in the Northern Gaza Strip
Frontpagemagazine ^ | May 14, 2024 | Ahmed Anwar

It turns out that a Gaza based al-Qaeda affiliated group known as Jaysh al-Ummah has joined Hamas in the jihad against Israel. On December 8, Jaysh al-Ummah published a statement saying that its fighters had been clashing with the IDF in the north of the Gaza Strip and in Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City:

Al-Qaeda is currently fighting in Gaza as Jaysh al-Ummah on the side of Hamas against the Zionists.

It’s unclear how large this al-Qaeda affiliated group is, and whether it has formed a formal alliance with Hamas. It is most likely a small branch that was operating covertly in Gaza for a long time, but has recently decided to conduct operations more overtly, because the IDF’s military operations in Gaza have given al-Qaeda the opportunity to wage jihad against Israel and assure Muslims that al-Qaeda will not neglect its duty to wage jihad against the Jewish state.

Even if there is no actual formal alliance between al-Qaeda and Hamas, al-Qaeda has clearly been assisting Hamas by virtue of attacking IDF troops in Gaza. This benefits Hamas, because it forces the IDF to divide its attention on multiple different jihad groups, as well as buying time for Hamas.

This would not be the first time that al-Qaeda has tried to attack Israel, but as of this writing, it appears to be the most recent example of al-Qaeda doing so. This should have gotten more media coverage, because it shows that even though twenty-two years have passed since September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda is not only still active, but is participating in the Israel vs. Hamas war, and is one of the many jihad groups that are assisting Hamas.

Many might think al-Qaeda is a washed-up group that has become a spent force, because al-Qaeda doesn’t get anywhere near as much attention and media coverage as it did 20 years ago. Hamas and Hezbollah have been getting most of the media coverage and focus since October 7, but media coverage of a jihad group is not a reliable indication of its strength and activity.

Al-Qaeda is still around; it never disappeared.

If Trump is not elected Israel WILL be destroyed. If Israel is destroyed America will follow. This is a mathematical certainty. We better get off the couch and put our God Fearing shoulders to the wheel. you can start by putting a “I stand with Israel” bumper sticker on your car. Add to that a big TRUMP 2024 sticker as well.NOW!

Are we still at war with Al Qaeda? On Sep 18, 2001 Congress passed the Use of Force against them. Has this been rescinded?

That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

Go for boys.

There are still a significant quantity of intact and repairable buildings and homes in Gaza.

After a structure has been damaged because Hamas used it as a fighting position the structure is often structurally unsafe for IDF troops to enter

In these cases, the IDF levels the building and bulldozes it into the ground .

Problem solved

The Jihadi are literally leveling the Gaza to the ground. By the time they are done fighting Israel, the Gaza will be an empty wasteland

More targets. Kill ‘em all. Too bad they can’t rely on Biden. I would imagine there is a large underground weapons transfers from the Arab states to Israel to deal with the terrorist vermin in Gaza.

Analysis of SloJo’s Rafah policy showed that the US intelligence agencies know where Hamas leadership is, but won’t turn over the information to Israel or send weapons unless the IDF promises not to attack “civilians”.

“I stand with Israel” bumper sticker on your car. Add to that a big TRUMP 2024 sticker as well.”

As much as I’d love to show my support in such a
manner, I’d have 4 flat tires, and key scratches
down the length of both sides of the car.

No war has ever been won without collateral damage. Jobama is on the side of Islam and is against Jews and Christians. Period. He has sold out to the atheist left wing of his party for money and power.

Not that I’m aware of. No one in Dearborn cares about al Qaeda else it might be, at least by executive order. Who needs Congress.

Yes. Either we witheld the information from Israel, prolonging the war since killing the leadership on the ground in Gaza would have a significant impact, or we’re lying about having the information. Since they likely move in the tunnels daily, likely the latter.

“As much as Id like to….” I cant because that’s a price that I’m not willing to pay to save my country or to save Israel: I might get a scratch on my car!

“I might get a scratch on my car!”

Just so happens that what I
described has been reported
to the police, not once,
but twice. With paint
jobs topping $10,000
and $1200 for a new set
tires. Lucky to have full
coverage for vandalism.
I keep my patriotism to
those I associate with,
and no more public display.
