Al-Qassam Brigades released a video entitled ‘Al-Faraheen 2’, an ambush carried out east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. 

What makes the content of the video particularly interesting is the fact that the ambush took place at the furthest point east of Khan Yunis, in a ‘buffer zone’ very close to the fence separating Israel from Gaza. 

The video stated that the ambush dates back to Monday, August 5, when Al-Qassam targeted members of Israeli troops using a Sejjil device, killing and wounding all members of the Israeli unit. 

Addressing the Israeli army, a Palestinian Resistance commander said: “You are not safe in this area from which you have displaced its people, and it is forbidden for you, you are not safe from it or in it.”

Another Palestinian fighter appeared to prepare the al-Sajil device, which he said was locally made by the Khan Yunis Brigade.

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.

The explosive material in the Sijjil explosive was extracted from unexploded IOF missiles and contains 750 pieces of shrapnel.

The source added that soldiers’ remains were scattered at the site and were carried by troop carriers inward and then transported by two helicopters. 

Lasty, he said: ‘After the explosion, our fighters eliminated the remaining soldiers with light machine guns from a close distance’.”
