The video showed the soldiers being clearly spotted in the window and balcony of the house before being bombarded with an anti-bunker and anti-personnel TPG canister.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, released a video today showing an attack it carried out against Israeli occupation soldiers in the Tel Al-Sultan area, west of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The video showed Qassam fighters destroying two Tiger troop carriers, one from the window of a house and the other on a street in a destroyed residential area.
Both operations were carried out from a very short distance of mere meters away.
The Al-Qassam fighters also targeted a house where an Israeli force was holed up. The video showed the soldiers being clearly spotted in the window and balcony of the house before being bombarded with an anti-bunker and anti-personnel TPG canister.
In the same video, Al-Qassam fighters were shown shelling the occupying forces with mortars from inside a house destroyed by the war.
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)
“After their return from the battle lines, our fighters confirmed detonating the entrance of a tunnel, which was pre-rigged with an explosive device in a Zionist force that advanced to the place, causing them to be killed and wounded west of the Al-Hawuzin area, west of Hamad Town, in the north of the city of Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
“Al-Qassam Brigades target a Zionist Merkvah tank with an Al-Yassin 105 shell east of the city of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.”
