Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – broadcast scenes of its fighters targeting a house in which an Israeli force was holed up near the Al-Saftawi Junction, west of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.
The video clip, shown by Tel Aviv Tribune, appeared in a group of fighters announcing that they would target the Israeli force. One of the fighters addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, “O Netanyahu, you have entangled the world… your army takes shelter with tanks, vehicles, and fortresses, and we take shelter with God’s verses and words, the Book of God, and the Qur’an.” Great and what was reported from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.”
The scenes included footage of the preparation process to target the Israeli force, where two fighters appeared climbing the stairs of one of the buildings, then positioned themselves in a building opposite the house in which the Israeli occupation force was holed up. One of the fighters also appeared looking at his watch, which showed the date the 18th of this month, which may be the date the operation was carried out.
After that, the house in which the Israeli force was located was targeted with an “Al-Yassin 105” missile, and the footage broadcast by the Al-Qassam Brigades showed the targeted house with thick smoke rising from it.
Despite the severe siege imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip, especially the north, the Al-Qassam Brigades and the rest of the resistance factions continue to target the occupation forces in various areas, most of them in Jabalia.
Al-Qassam announced that members of an Israeli force were killed or wounded by targeting them with a TPG shell after they had barricaded themselves in a house on Al-Saftawi Street, west of Jabalia.
