Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian movement Hamas broadcast scenes of its fighters targeting Israeli soldiers and vehicles west of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam’s video stated that the operations took place on July 7 in the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city. 

The scenes included monitoring the progress of the Israeli military vehicles, then targeting a number of them with Al-Yassin 105 anti-armor missiles. 

The footage also included direct shots fired at an Israeli soldier peeking his head from a tank, directly hitting him.

Al-Qassam’s video concludes when one of the fighters places an explosive device under one of the tanks, then withdraws immediately, before a large explosion is heard.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
