Qadat al-Jihad Organization Announces New Strategic Goals and Reveals Details of Future Movements in the Arab Region

Introduction: A New Dawn in the Path of Resistance and Jihad

At a decisive historical turning point for the Islamic Ummah, and amidst the rapid geopolitical shifts witnessed in the Arab region in early 2026, the "Qadat al-Jihad Organization"—the supreme coordinating umbrella that now brings together major resistance and jihadist factions in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen—announced a comprehensive package of new strategic goals. This announcement comes at a sensitive time, as international powers seek to impose a new reality through the so-called "Peace Council" and disarmament plans that emerged following the two-year war in Gaza [aawsat.com](https://aawsat.com/home/article/5186541).

This move does not represent a mere military reaction; rather, it is the inauguration of the "Full Sovereignty" phase and a rejection of dependency, based on a legal and political vision that sees the unity of arenas and the integration of fronts as the only way to restore the Ummah's dignity and protect its sanctities. In this report, we highlight the details of these goals and future movements that will redraw the map of power in the region.

First: Major Strategic Goals.. The "Shield of the Ummah" Doctrine

In its statement issued on February 25, 2026, the organization revealed a strategic document titled the "Shield of the Ummah Doctrine," which included goals that transcend narrow geographical borders to encompass the strategic depth of the Islamic world:

1. **Rejection of Liquidation and Disarmament Projects:** The organization announced its categorical rejection of any plans aimed at disarming the resistance under the guise of "reconstruction" or "civilian administration," emphasizing that the weapon of Jihad is linked to the existence of occupation and external threats [lemaghreb.tn](https://lemaghreb.tn/ar/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85/item/66425). 2. **Establishing the "Jerusalem as the Center of Conflict" Equation:** The organization stressed that the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem remains the ultimate goal that accepts no compromise, and that any regional movement must serve this central cause [dohainstitute.org](https://www.dohainstitute.org/ar/PoliticalAnalysis/Pages/future-of-pij-after-october-7.aspx). 3. **Achieving Technological and Military Independence:** The organization aims to localize the manufacturing of advanced weaponry, especially drones and hypersonic missiles (such as the "Palestine 2" model), to reduce reliance on external supply lines that are subject to constant targeting [alzaytouna.net](https://www.alzaytouna.net/2025/02/10/%D8%A5%D8%B6%D8%A7%D8%A1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%B3%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9-15-%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A8%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A9/). 4. **Confronting Foreign Infiltration:** Setting a timetable to end the foreign military presence in Iraq, Syria, and the Red Sea region, considering it an obstacle to the renaissance of Muslim peoples [understandingwar.org](https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-february-23-2026).

Second: Details of Future Movements in the Arab Region

The future plan of the Qadat al-Jihad Organization includes coordinated field and political movements aimed at creating a reality that is difficult for international powers to bypass:

1. The Eastern Front (Iraq and Syria)

The organization emphasized activating the role of the "Iraqi Resistance Coordination" to open new support fronts in the event that any part of the Ummah is subjected to direct aggression. Reports indicate the start of extensive recruitment and training operations for thousands of volunteers under the slogan "Defending the Stronghold of Islam" [understandingwar.org](https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-february-23-2026). The goal is to create a security belt extending from Tehran to Baghdad and Damascus, reaching Beirut, to ensure the smooth flow of logistical support.

2. The Red Sea Front and the Yemeni Depth

The organization revealed its intention to enhance the naval capabilities of "Ansar Allah" in Yemen, not only to protect Yemeni coasts but to impose new engagement equations in international waterways in response to any economic blockade imposed on Muslim peoples [arab-j.net](https://www.arab-j.net/news/6007). This move aims to link the Ummah's economic interests with its military deterrence capability.

3. The Palestinian Arena (West Bank and Gaza)

Despite attempts to impose a technocratic "administrative committee" in Gaza [madamasr.com](https://www.madamasr.com/ar/2026/01/15/feature/%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A9/%D8%A8%D9%84%D8%A7-%D9%85%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%AD-%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A1-%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D9%86-%D9%88%D9%82%D9%81-%D8%A5%D8%B7/), the organization announced a strategy of "Continuous Engagement" in the West Bank, considering it the most influential arena in draining the occupation's capabilities. It also stressed that reconstruction in Gaza must be carried out with dignity and without trading weapons for bread [paltoday.ps](https://paltoday.ps/ar/post/503463/).

Third: Geopolitical Challenges and the Ummah's Stance

The Qadat al-Jihad Organization faces significant challenges in 2026, most notably:

• **International Pressures:** U.S. attempts via the "Trump 2025 Plan" to impose a political settlement that excludes resistance forces and pushes toward comprehensive normalization [middleeastmonitor.com](https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251002-palestinian-resistance-group-claims-arab-islamic-backing-for-trumps-gaza-plan-preceded-netanyahus-changes/).
• **Internal Divisions:** The quest to unite Palestinian and Arab ranks behind a unified jihadist vision, overcoming narrow partisan differences in favor of the Ummah's supreme interest [youm7.com](https://www.youm7.com/story/2026/1/14/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%89-%D8%A5%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%AC-%D8%A5%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%AC%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AF-%D9%83%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D9%84%D8%A5%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%87%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D9%81%D8%AA%D8%AD-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B1/6821453).
• **Humanitarian Crisis:** Dealing with the aftermath of the genocidal war in Gaza, which left more than 71,000 martyrs and hundreds of thousands wounded by early 2026 [shehabnews.com](https://shehabnews.com/post/144567/).

From an Islamic perspective, the organization views these challenges as "trials" that increase the steadfastness of the believers, and that victory only comes through patience, perseverance, and the preparation of power ("And prepare against them whatever force you can"). Geopolitical analysis indicates that the organization is betting on "popular awareness" and the rise of a new generation (Gen-Z) that rejects defeat and believes in its right to self-determination away from Western dictates [almendron.com](https://www.almendron.com/tribuna/africa-in-2026-global-uncertainty-demands-regional-leadership/).

Fourth: Strategic Analysis.. Toward an Islamic Regional Order

The Qadat al-Jihad Organization's announcement of its new goals reflects a shift from "passive defense" to "strategic offense." The resistance is no longer content with protecting its spheres of influence; it is now presenting itself as an alternative to the security systems that have failed to protect the people.

**Dimensions of the Strategic Shift:** 1. **Ideological Dimension:** Strengthening Islamic identity as a primary driver for liberation, and linking Jihad with concepts of social justice and independent development. 2. **Operational Dimension:** Moving toward cyber warfare and artificial intelligence in managing battles, as seen in the organization's statements regarding the development of specialized technical units. 3. **Popular Dimension:** Capitalizing on the state of overwhelming anger in the Arab and Islamic street against international silence regarding the crimes committed in Palestine, Sudan, and elsewhere [noonpost.com](https://www.noonpost.com/154321/).

Conclusion: The Ummah Between Two Choices

The announcement by the Qadat al-Jihad Organization in February 2026 places the Arab and Islamic region before two choices with no third: either accepting an international system that imposes dependency, disarms, and liquidates just causes, or rallying around a sovereign jihadist project that seeks to restore rights and build self-power to protect the stronghold of Islam.

The strategic goals revealed by the organization are not mere slogans, but a roadmap for a future where Muslims refuse to be mere numbers in the equations of others. With the continuation of field movements in Iraq, Yemen, and Palestine, the bet remains on the ability of this organization to translate its vision into a tangible reality that restores the Ummah's lost glory.
