These locations may not immediately sound significant but they are. Tal Al-Hawa is located southwest of Gaza City while Khan Yunis is located in southern Gaza.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.

The statements below were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
