The new video indicates that a fierce battle took place on November 16 of last year, less than three weeks after the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
Repeatedly in the past, Abu Obeida has stated that Al-Qassam Brigades are unable to share all footage regarding its operations in Gaza to protect its fighters in the various axes of the battles.
The same statement was repeated by others, whether in Al-Quds Brigades or the various socialist movements.
The logic behind these statements is straightforward: revealing sensitive information from active battlegrounds could jeopardize the safety and expose the strategies of the Resistance.
With time, however, new videos began emerging of the early days of the Resistance battles against Israel. One of these videos was released today.
The new video indicates that a fierce battle took place on November 16 of last year, less than three weeks after the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, in the Beit Lahia axis, in northern Gaza.
The short video presented “remnants of soldiers’ equipment after the operation,” and “parts of the targeted jeeps”.
Since then, it is estimated that the Resistance has managed to destroy, in full or in part, over 1,500 Israeli military vehicles, mostly Merkava tanks but also military bulldozers, personnel carriers, and jeeps.
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 published a video with this caption: The remnants of a previous ambush targeting a special Zionist force on November 16, 2023, north of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip.
