They commended the Kingdom’s achievements in all fields since the foundation of the Kingdom by the late King Abdul Aziz and his sons, the former kings until the era of King Salman. They stressed that the Kingdom would continue its march toward a comprehensive renaissance in light of Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program.

Culture and Information Minister Adel Al-Toraifi said the ministry is ensuring that Saudi cultural work acquires three elements of powers — creativity, persuasion, expansion — and employment of intellectual exercise to consolidate loyalty to the country, “which must remain rooted in the minds of successive generations.”

Al-Toraifi expressed his thanks to all ministry employees for their efforts, calling for the development of their skills and performance for serving their homeland and spreading its message.

The Council of Senior Scholars stressed that the Kingdom is based on a legacy, foundations, and pillars, making it a distinct country. “It is the country of the Two Holy Mosques and the first house established for the people as Qibla of Muslims.”

Governors highlighted the Kingdom’s achievements in all fields since its foundation, stressing the continuation of the march of a comprehensive renaissance in the light of Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian Airlines on Friday decorated one of its planes with a new slogan in green, inspired by the banner of Tawhid and the flag of Saudi Arabia, to fly around the Kingdom and the world. It took off from Jeddah to Riyadh en route to Dammam, Madinah and Jazan.

A Saudia delegation will deliver cards to the command of the armed forces in Najran and Jazan and will also distribute them among the sons of the soil deployed on the front lines.

A two-day online competition was unveiled on Friday to win 86 tickets.

The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement says its fighters have killed at least 20 Israeli soldiers in northern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip in just two days, in retaliation for the occupying regime’s genocidal war on the Palestinian territory.

In a statement on Monday evening, Hamas said that fighters of its military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, “killed at least five occupation soldiers” in northern parts of the coastal territory earlier in the day.

It added that Hamas fighters also killed 15 Israeli soldiers in the war-ravaged region on Sunday.

The resistance movement’s “qualitative operation … confirms once again the failure of the criminal Zionist entity to suppress and eradicate the Palestinian resistance, which continues to direct qualitative strikes against its terrorist soldiers,” Hamas further said on its Telegram channel.

Palestinians have increased their resistance operations in the face of intensified Israeli aggression in northern Gaza that has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 over the past weeks.

“Our valiant resistance is waging a war of attrition with the criminal enemy, inflicting daily losses on its soldiers and vehicles, and all of [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s bets and dreams of achieving any of his goals are failing,” the Gaza-based resistance movement added.

Hamas also vowed that Israel’s ongoing crimes and aggression against Gaza would be met with increased resistance and painful strikes, which will continue until the aggression against Palestinians ends and the regime fully withdraws from the blockaded territory.

As the war in Gaza enters its 14th month, the Health Ministry reports that Israeli attacks have killed at least 43,603 Palestinians and wounded 102,929 others.
