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.

Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)

“After their return from the combat lines, our fighters confirmed that they sniped two Zionist soldiers and clashed with a Zionist infantry force, killing or wounding them in Al-Amal neighborhood, west of the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.

“After their return from the combat lines, our fighters confirmed that they targeted a Zionist infantry force consisting of 15 officers and soldiers who had barricaded themselves inside a house with an anti-armor RPG shell, and an anti-personnel one. Our fighters confirmed that (the soldiers) had been killed or wounded, and they heard the sounds of their soldiers screaming after they were set on fire in the Al-Hawuz area, west of the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.

“The fighters of Al-Qassam Brigades and the Mujahideen Brigades successfully targeted an Hermes 900 reconnaissance plane with a SAM-7 missile southwest of Gaza City.
