The Palestinian Resistance’s response to Israeli allegations that they have targeted Al-Qassam’s top commander, Mohammed al-Deif, in Khan Yunis, was swift.
Though Hamas’ political leadership said that Israeli reports that al-Deif and others were the main targets of the Al-Mawasi massacre, which willed and wounded over 350 in the Khan Yunis area, the military leadership responded in a different way.
The response included the destruction of three Merkava tanks, and the targeting of a Hummer Jeep with an RPG shell, among others.
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 were able to ambush a convoy of zionist vehicles, destroying 3 Merkava tanks with Al-Yassin 105 shells.
“The clashes are still ongoing near the Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari Mosque east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam fighters were able to detonate a minefield in a Zionist engineering force, causing the force to be killed and wounded in Al-Shouka neighborhood, east of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam Brigades targeted a Zionist D9 bulldozer with an Al-Yassin 105 shell, setting it on fire, near the cemetery east of the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.
