The group said it will treat any Israeli movement in the area as a military target and pledged to escalate its military response in step with developments and in coordination with the resistance axis in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine and Yemen. The statement framed the action as retaliation against U.S. and Zionist aggression and as a measure to break what it called an oppressive blockade.
