When he finished, he released the small drone, which made its way to a fortified military zone the Israeli army had constructed in central Gaza.
As a Palestinian fighter launched a Zouari attack drone over the Netzarim axis in central Gaza, he recited the following short Arabic poem:
“Write on the margin of time that we
Are people of dignity, the most noble tribe.
Let them burn all the palm trees in our land,
We shall rise above the palms as new palm trees.
Let them demolish all the minarets above us,
We are the minarets, so hear the call to prayer.”
When he finished, he released the small drone, which made its way to a fortified military zone the Israeli army had constructed in central Gaza.
The 322nd day of the Israeli war on Gaza was rife with events: Israeli massacres targeting Palestinian civilians, more military evacuation orders, stiff Palestinian resistance, a major operation in the Zaytoun area in northern Gaza, and newly authored verses of Arabic poetry.
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 fighters engage in fierce clashes with the enemy forces that have infiltrated south of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City, causing killed and wounded among their ranks, and a Yasur helicopter landed to evacuate them.
“Al-Qassam Brigades targeted 4 Zionist Merkava tanks with Al-Yassin 105 shells and a Tandem shell near Abu Al-Daqqa junction in Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.
“Yesterday afternoon, Al-Qassam fighters were able to target a Zionist force stationed inside the Kamal Adwan School with an anti-fortification TBG shell, engaging with them at point-blank range, causing them to suffer casualties between dead and injured in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood in the west of Rafah city.
