Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas, released an image of a captured Israeli soldier in Jabaliya.

“Why do you lie to your people,” the video says, suggesting that the captured soldier might be a mercenary or a member of an Israeli minority. It was not the first time that the captured soldier would appear in the Al-Qassam video. 

A previous video, released on May 25, showed a soldier being pulled under a tunnel somewhere in northern Gaza.

At that time, Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for Al-Qassam, had announced that a number of Israeli soldiers had been killed, wounded, or captured. 

It is believed that the captured soldier in the latest video is the one who was shown in the previous announcement.

Below is the translated text from the Arabic video, which was released by Al-Qassam Brigades on Saturday.

It is followed by the latest Resistance announcements made by Palestinian and Lebanese groups. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form. 

VIDEO: 

0:00 – “The occupation forces sift through piles of rubble searching for the remains of some of their captives whom they deliberately bombed earlier. They deploy thousands of soldiers in the alleys of Jabalia and elsewhere, searching for corpses, sacrificing their soldiers for Netanyahu’s personal plots and the interests of his extremist, fascist government.” – Abu Obeida 

0:25 – Jabaliya Camp – northern Gaza Strip. Saturday, 25 May 2024.

0:28 – After Al-Qassam fighters lured occupation soldiers to one of the tunnels, the enemy sent a drone to the tunnel entrance to investigate it, and was unable to detect the fighters inside it.

0:38 – Once [the drone] exited the tunnel, the fighters advanced to the ambush site according to the plan which was agreed upon previously.

0:43 – Upon the arrival of the enemy soldiers to the ambush site inside the tunnel, our fighters engaged in combat with them from point-blank range, and eliminated two of the soldiers, and detonated the tunnel entrance.

0:53 – After this, the enemy excavated the area around the tunnel down to its path, thinking that our fighters withdrew from inside it.

Al-Qassam Brigades published a subtitled version of the video detailing the specifics of the operation in Jabaliya, which led to the killing, wounding, and capture of Israeli soldiers.

1:00 – Contrary to their expectations, our fighters had prepared an ambush inside the tunnel and planted a number of camouflaged explosives.

1:08 – The enemy entered reinforcements into the tunnel, and after they crossed one of the explosives and entered the crossfire, our fighters opened fire on them from point-blank range and detonated the explosives in them.

1:15 – Then our fighters detonated the tunnel after withdrawing from it.

1:20 – The operation caused the soldiers in the force to be killed, wounded, and captured.

1:25 – Our fighters also seized the equipment of a number of soldiers.

1:38 – What was approved to be published:

1:43 – One of the members of the targeted force, a corpse in our custody.

1:48 – You know his identity well. 

1:52 – Why do you lie to your people? Is he one of the mercenaries who you haven’t announced since October 7? Or is your discrimination present even in distinguishing between your dead?

2:02 – To the families of the dead and prisoners: Do not believe your government or your army.

2:06 – You are invited to get to know this soldier and the rest of the members of this force, who fell between dead, wounded, and captive.

If the attack was indeed a mistake, what explains the other massacres that followed, also in Rafah and in nearby Mawasi, which killed and maimed scores of refugees? And what is the logic behind the killing and wounding of nearly 130,000 Palestinians since the start of the war on… pic.twitter.com/RSIctByQCl
