It doesn’t matter if the two videos were coordinated, but certainly the timing of their release is of great significance. One was released by Al-Qassam Brigades in northern Gaza, the other by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“A message to the vile (Israeli Defense Minister Yoav) Gallant,” a Qassam fighter begins at minute 1.57 of a video released today by the Al-Qassam Brigades.
“I remind you of your words at the beginning of the battle when you said, ‘I see the downfall of Hamas.’”
The fighter’s message back to Gallant is that by God’s will, “we indeed see the downfall of Israel, and the world will witness not only your defeat but your complete eradication.”
The context of the message, however, is most important, as it accompanied a relatively long video, over 4 minutes and 17 seconds, showing one of the most complex operations carried out by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza to date.
The ‘complex ambush’ took place east of the Jabaliya refugee camp, in northern Gaza, where the Israeli army has carried out numerous massacres in recent days and is currently imposing a tight siege on the starving population inside.
Hamas’ strong message was paralleled by an equally strong message by the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which released a video entitled ‘Our capabilities are in excellent shape’.

The video demonstrated a few examples of Hezbollah’s capabilities, including a drone that is capable of firing missiles, before the drone itself becomes a weapon, hitting its target with precision.
This particular example is important because some military analysts believe that the drone mentioned in the video is the same one that was employed in the Binyamina military camp south of Haifa on Sunday evening.
The Hezbollah operation yesterday killed and wounded dozens of Israeli soldiers of different ranks, though the exact details of the casualties have been placed under a gag order imposed by the Israeli military.
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.
