“What was permitted to be published.” This is the phrase with which the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, began the video, which shows what it said was the face of a soldier who was killed in the complex operation it announced days ago in Jabalia, and the Qassams took his body, and it appeared in the clip at the time. A Qassami fighter drags the body of the Israeli soldier, and the clip then ends with the phrase, “This is what was allowed to be published.”
When the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, announced the capture of Israeli soldiers, the Israeli army spokesman was quick to deny the news, but Al-Qassam came back and published some details about its complex operation in Jabalia.
Although Al-Qassam revealed the soldier’s face, no party in Israel commented on the clip, unlike the previous time. The occupation army did not even publish the soldier’s picture on the list it publishes of those killed in Gaza on its official website.
This is a great achievement for the resistance if this soldier is a mercenary.
A large number of dead and wounded have not been revealed by Israel to this day. Israel uses them at the forefront and takes risks to search for prisoners and bring them into extremely dangerous sites. It does not care about them.

This matter raised many questions among the audience of social media platforms in the Arab world, regarding Israel’s failure to comment on the video. Tweeters said that every confession by Israelis leads them to a scandal. One of the bloggers explained the scenarios and wrote, “If Israel recognizes that he is an army soldier and acknowledges that he is captured, then this is a scandal.” Official denial.
But if it turns out that he is a mercenary, this will be an even greater scandal that will show their inability, and an implicit admission of the incompetence of their army to fight such a large battle, which prompted them to seek the help of mercenaries!!
After Al-Qassam published a photo of the dead soldier who was captured… and in light of the occupation army’s denial that any capture operations occurred in an ambush #Jabalia All of the occupation’s options in the face of this picture will be a huge scandal!!
– If they admit that he is an army soldier and admit that he was captured, then this is a scandal after the official denial that was made by… pic.twitter.com/FA7500EZPH– Muhammad Al-Madhoun (@mohamed_mdn) June 1, 2024
One of the observers mocked the Israeli media’s neglect of the image of the soldier who appeared in the Qassam video, saying, “We must recognize them and inform them of what is happening around them. We must tell them that there is a new prisoner on the list so that they can at least update the list, and there is the rest of the conversation.”
The Israeli media still ignores the picture of the new prisoner
They are busy with the demonstrations and discussing Biden’s speech and their scandals
We must be aware of them and let them know what is happening around them
We must tell them that there is a new prisoner on the list, so that they can at least update their list
And for the rest of the talk…

As for Al-Qassam’s superiority in the truthfulness of its accounts over the Israeli occupation, one of them commented: “Al-Qassam confirms the truthfulness of its narrative compared to the narrative of the army, which chose to hide the entire operation. It did not announce its dead and wounded on that day, and it treated the event with ignorance, an ignorance that it will not be able to continue.”
Others added that the operation confirms the cowardice of the Israeli elite forces, which throw second- or third-class fighters into the forefront. The massive destruction in the Jabalia camp is only an explanation of the cowardice of the Israeli army in confronting the fighters man-to-man, and the video of the rooftop clash of Al-Qassam fighters proves that.
Quick implications about Al-Qassam’s video #Jabalia_Ambush:
1- Al-Qassam spoke about luring the force into the tunnel twice, as an indication of the field superiority of its field commanders, and a violation of traditional military expectations.2- Al-Qassam showed a picture of the dead Israeli, and left the question open as to whether he was a regular soldier or a mercenary in a reference… pic.twitter.com/mbh7KMezB0

Activists drew attention to the most important implications of the recent Al-Qassam video, which is its clear indication and evidence of the presence of mercenaries in the ranks of the Israeli occupation army fighting on the front lines, and when one of them is killed or wounded, the occupation does not acknowledge or announce it, in addition to its concealment of other matters and details in an attempt to hide His real losses.

The video did not reveal the identity of the dead soldier, but Al-Qassam sent a message to the occupation army in which it said, “You know his identity well… Why are you lying to your audience?”
The brigades asked, “Is he one of the mercenaries you have not announced since last October 7? Or is your racism present in the distinction between your dead?”
