A new tactic seems to be on full display in the way that the Palestinian Resistance is conducting its strategy throughout the Gaza Strip.
Three fighters – one with an RPG or a Yassin-105, another with a Kalashnikov, and a third with a camera.
The first takes aim and fires, the second creates cover or destruction, and the third films the whole encounter.
Another new tactic that has been used with greater frequency in recent days is the detonation of buildings or houses, that Israeli soldiers use as a shelter or as field command centers.
The new tactic seems to be working, as it preserves the life of the fighters and creates a nightmare scenario for invading soldiers, who truly feel as if they are fighting ghosts.
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 bombard gatherings of enemy vehicles and soldiers behind Al-Nujoum Hall in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
“After returning from the combat lines, our fighters confirmed the detonation of two booby-trapped tunnel openings against the enemy forces, causing deaths and injuries among them, south of Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
“After returning from the combat lines, our fighters confirmed the detonation of a previously rigged building against a Zionist infantry force, causing deaths and injuries among its members, south of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
