In one of their statements today, Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement, Hamas, said that they had blown up a place that was taken over by 15 Israeli soldiers.
“Our fighters confirmed that (the soldiers) had been killed or wounded,” the statement read, adding that the fighters “heard the sounds of (Israeli) soldiers screaming as they were set on fire.”
The operation took place in an area west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, thus once more challenging the Israeli army narrative that it had taken over that part of 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.
