If the 287th day of the resistance to the Israeli war on Gaza can be described in a single phrase, it would be, “joint operations”.
It seems that joint operations have become a new tactic that allows Palestinian groups to merge their military capabilities in various parts of Gaza, thus allowing the resistance to continue.
In today’s joint operations, Al-Qassam Brigades cooperated with the socialist Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades.
Al-Qassam also worked with Al-Quds Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Jihad in two separate operations in the Rafah area.
Joint operations also seem to be the modus operandi between other Arab resistance groups throughout the region, for example Yemen’s Ansarallah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
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)
“The Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, in cooperation with the Al-Qassam Brigades, shell the command and control site in the Netzarim axis southwest of Gaza City with 80 mm mortar shells.
“Al-Qassam Brigades target the enemy forces positioned on the Netzarim axis with a number of 114mm Rajoom rockets.
“In a joint operation, the fighters of Saraya Al-Quds and Al-Qassam Brigades were able to target a zionist military vehicle with an Al-Yassin 105 shell on Al-Sikka Street in Al-Shaboura Camp in the city of Rafah.”
Qassam sniper: I keep looking for Yair [Netanyahu] to put a bullet in his head. But Netanyahu won’t send his son to fight, just these morons. (He then shoots an Israeli soldier).
