“Your goods will be returned to you” is a phrase that was circulated often along with resistance videos several months after the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
In fact, the phrase appeared once more in the latest video by the Al-Qassam Brigades, which showed fighters booby-trapping houses near the Saftawi junction, west of Jabaliya.
The operation led to the destruction of the house with all the soldiers inside.
But what is this phrase referring to?
The phrase, which originated in the Holy Quran, in this specific case references the reuse of unexploded Israeli military ordnances, which are being repurposed and used against invading Israeli forces. The ‘goods’ here are basically Israeli explosives that were meant to kill Palestinians being ‘returned’ in the form of booby traps used to kill Israeli soldiers.
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 (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam Brigades targets a Zionist Merkava tank with a Yassin 105 shell near Shadia School, west of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam Brigades destroys a Zionist Merkava tank with a highly explosive device east of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.
In this video, Al-Qassam fighters are seen luring an Isreali special force to one of the previously booby-trapped houses near the Saftawi junction, west of Jabaliya camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Brave men against the evil Zionist hoards. You are on the right side of the history of civilisation. Great good fortune will follow all of you.
“Your goods will be returned to you” is a common experience among guerrilla fighters – it was common duri9ng the War against the Vietnamese aka the Vietnam War. Their enemy supplies them with arms and ammunition, and it is the task of the good host to return such otherwise unwanted items to their original possessors.
