For several days, Palestinian Resistance groups have been issuing statements and sharing videos of precise operations near the Al-Shifa Hospital.

Israel has invaded the Shifa Hospital before, killing, executing, wounding and arresting at will. 

During the first invasion on November 16, however, the degree of Palestinian resistance, which desperately tried to protect the hospital, was not comparable to the toughness of the Resistance in those areas now. 

For several days, Palestinian Resistance groups have been issuing statements and sharing videos of precise operations targeting invading Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of or inside Al-Shifa. 

This includes a sniping operation and the blowing up of several tanks. 

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

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