The injured youth walks amid the rubble, places the explosive device on the side of the Merkava tank and walks away.
The latest video by the Al-Qassam Brigades in northern Gaza must be bewildering for Israeli military analysts. After all, tens of thousands of their soldiers have been fighting in the small town of Jabaliya over the course of many weeks.
The video attests to the mass destruction inflicted by the Israeli army on the area, where civilians have been exterminated in their thousands. But it also speaks of an active battlefield, where Palestinian fighters are able to appear and disappear as they wish, striking Israeli tanks and other military vehicles as they have always done since the start of the war.
The video speaks for itself. The first scene, however, is the most noteworthy. It shows an injured young man, holding an explosive device in one hand.
“Despite my wounds, I carry my explosive and head towards the enemy, by the will of God, towards their tanks,” he said.
Then, he recites a poem (see below), which sums up the foundational discourse of the resistance in Gaza, and explains why the young man did what he did.
The injured youth walks amid the rubble, places the explosive device on the side of the Merkava tank and walks away. The tank explodes and the youth chants ‘God is Great’.
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.
