While the Israeli military continues to sink deeper into the Gaza war quagmire, with no clear, or consistent objectives in mind, the Palestinian Resistance in the Strip continues to fight on all fronts.
Unlike the Israeli military, Palestinian Resistance is fighting with clear goals, ultimately aimed at thwarting the Israeli attempt at gaining operational control of any part of the Gaza Strip.
Latest statements by the two main Palestinian Resistance groups in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance movement Hezbollah, indicate that little has changed regarding the nature of the war on its 105th day.
The statements below were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam fighters were able to snipe two Zionist soldiers with the Qassam “Al-Ghoul” rifle east of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip.
“After the return of our fighters from the clash areas, they confirmed targeting a Zionist Merkava tank, beside which there were two soldiers, using an Al-Yassin 105 shell which led to its complete destruction and the killing of the two soldiers.
“Al-Qassam Brigades destroyed three Zionist Merkava tanks using Shuath explosive devices east of the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
