Several explosions rocked the area, followed by scenes of fleeing soldiers, and what seemed like dead and wounded troops being removed from the ground of the operation.
A Palestinian fighter was running the operation from a secured room somewhere in Tal Al-Hawa, a small neighborhood located west of Gaza City.
In front of him, were several TV screens connected to cameras that were fastened on top of buildings, which gave him a bird’s-eye view of what was going on in the neighborhood.
On the screens, several Israeli military vehicles and many soldiers, moving about in the area, some leaving buildings, others returning to their tanks and personal carriers.
Then, several explosions rocked the area, followed by scenes of fleeing soldiers, and what seemed like dead and wounded troops being removed from the ground of the operation.
This was the content of one video released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian movement Hamas. The date of the operation, according to Al-Qassam, was July 10, and the outcome, according to the video, was the killing and wounding of many Israeli soldiers, in addition to the blowing up of several tanks.
The video was entitled ‘And if You Return, We Shall Return’.
Indeed, on Friday, the Israeli military left the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood.
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.
