Instead of dismantling the Al-Qassam Brigades in northern and southern Gaza, the opposite seems to be true: the various Palestinian movements are pairing up to fight jointly together against invading Israeli troops.
While Al-Qassam and Al-Quds Brigades have carried out many joint operations since the start of the war, today Al-Qassam and the Mujahideen Brigades carried out a joint operation west of Gaza City.
The joint operation also included the socialist PFLP among other smaller fighting units.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements below were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam Brigades destroy a Zionist D9 bulldozer using a Shuath explosive device west of the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
“The fighters of Al-Qassam Brigades and the Mujahideen Brigades were able to target an Apache helicopter with a Sam-7 missile west of Gaza City.
