Multiple outlets of the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance published identical statements quoting a Quranic verse about believers true to their covenant with Allah, including those who fulfilled their vow by martyrdom, between 12:45 PM and 2:15 PM UTC on February 21, 2026, according to the posts captured in this 90-minute reporting window. The verse states: '{Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow [by death], and some of them are still waiting, and they have not changed [their commitment] in the least...}', preceded by 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' as posted by the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance, War Media of the Islamic Resistance, and The Military Media of the Islamic Resistance over the past hour and a half. These publications follow an IDF announcement earlier on February 21 between 11:45 AM and 12:45 PM UTC that troops killed a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in northern Gaza and approached soldiers in a threatening manner, according to the IDF as reported by @manniefabian on X. The Islamic Resistance media posts occurred amid ongoing regional tensions, including prior unverified social media claims around 11:30 AM UTC by @ElegantiaeArbit of Albanians occupying half of Gaza, and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee's endorsement earlier that morning of a Greater Israel concept from the Nile to the Euphrates.
