The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), broadcast scenes of the sniping of three Israeli soldiers, including an officer, north of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
The scenes showed the Qassam sniper carefully monitoring a number of Israeli soldiers in an open area before targeting two at once, where they fell to the ground.
The Qassam sniper continued his mission by targeting a third Israeli soldier, directly hitting him, amid chants of “Allahu Akbar.”
Al-Qassam has intensified its sniping operations in recent weeks, especially in the areas north of the Gaza Strip, thanks to the locally made Al-Ghoul Al-Qassam rifle, which was given this name after its developer, the martyr Adnan Al-Ghoul, and its lethal range reaches two thousand metres.
It is not known precisely how many sniping operations have been carried out by the Qassam Brigades since the beginning of the current war, but on February 22, it revealed that its fighters carried out “57 sniping missions, including 34 with the Qassam Ghoul rifle, and led to the killing of dozens of occupation soldiers.” The number is likely to have doubled in the past months.
The Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza have been documenting their operations against the occupation army forces and vehicles on various fronts of combat since the start of the Israeli ground operation on October 27, and many details of the operations carried out against the occupation forces appeared in the video clips.
