Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – broadcast scenes of its fighters targeting Israeli occupation soldiers and vehicles in the Yabna camp, south of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
The scenes included targeting a number of Israeli tanks with “Al-Yassin 105” anti-armor shells, and some of them were directly hit.
The clips also included targeting a building containing an Israeli special force with an anti-fortified TBG missile, in conjunction with the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement.
Last Friday, the Israeli army announced the completion of its control over the Philadelphia axis separating the Gaza Strip and Egypt, completely isolating the sector from Egyptian territory, days after it announced operational control over it on May 29.
The Philadelphia Axis, or the Salah al-Din Axis, is a border strip between Egypt and the Gaza Strip that extends within the Strip, hundreds of meters wide and 14.5 kilometers long, from the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Mediterranean Sea.
On May 6, Tel Aviv announced the start of a military operation in Rafah, claiming that it was “limited in scope,” before the Israeli army announced – a short time later – that it had occupied the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, which connects the Gaza Strip to Egypt.
The Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza have been documenting their operations against the occupation army forces and vehicles in various combat axes 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.
