It seems that Israel learned very little from its previous two invasions of Shejaiya. The ongoing third invasion does not seem to be going very well for the Israeli army.
According to statements made by various Palestinian Resistance groups on Monday, several operations were carried out against Israeli soldiers.
They involved the blowing up of a group of soldiers in a booby-trapped house, the sniping of others, and the destruction of several Merkava tanks.
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 fighters lured a Zionist force into a booby-trapped house that was used in the recent sniping operation east of the city of Rafah. As soon as the soldiers entered the house, it was detonated, resulting in deaths and injuries among the members of the force.
