Each fighter wanted to be the one who planted the device in one of the groups’ many joint operations in recent days.
A heated dialogue in a video released by Al-Qassam Brigades was centered around who would be the fighter that planted an explosive device under an Israeli tank that has invaded the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
One of the fighters was a member of Al-Qassam. The other a member of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad in Palestine movement.
Each fighter wanted to be the one who planted the device in one of the groups’ many joint operations in recent days.
This is their dialogue as conveyed in a video that was shared by Al-Qassam Brigades on their Telegram channel.
“Go forward, go forward. Hit it.”
The fighters in the joint operation debate about who should be the one to plant the explosive directly on the tank. A fighter insists on taking the explosive off the hands of the other fighter who was originally going to plant it.
The conversation goes:
“Let it go, let it go.”
“It’s mine!”
“For God’s sake, let it go!”
“For God’s sake, I beg you (Let me keep it).”
“I swear to God, let it go (Give it to me).”
The matter was eventually solved, and the tank was blown up.
