The message that the Resistance tried to convey is that the next shell or bullet could arrive from anywhere and at any time.
One of several Al-Qassam videos today was particularly brief. It consisted of three different parts: the blowing up of an Israeli Merkava tank, a D-9 military bulldozer and the shelling of invading Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of Salah al-Din Gate, south of Rafah.
The video represents a microcosm of the Resistance in Gaza today and previous days. What is interesting about the latest video, however, is that each clip starts with a door opening followed by a fighter pointing a tandem or a Yassin-105 shell towards an Israeli military vehicle from a very short distance.
The message that the Resistance tried to convey is that the next shell or bullet could arrive from anywhere and at any time, though always with the same assured outcome: a massive explosion.
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.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam Brigades targeted two Zionist Merkava 4 tanks with two Al-Yassin 105 shells in the vicinity of the Imam Ali Mosque, east of Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam fighters sniped a Zionist soldier with a Qassam Ghoul rifle in the project area northeast of Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam fighters were able to detonate a booby-trapped house in a special Zionist force next to the Habboub building in the Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip, leaving its members dead and wounded.
