The Israeli military spokesman also said that the army attacked more than 150 targets in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours.
The occupation aircraft bombed many of what the military spokesman described as “militants” in the Al-Maghazi area and in Khan Yunis. He also announced the discovery of 15 tunnel openings, missile launchers, and combat means.
Harvest resistance
Abu Ubaida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said, “During the past week, Al-Qassam fighters were able to completely or partially destroy 42 Israeli military vehicles, and killed 22 Israeli soldiers from zero distance, in addition to killing dozens.” He was wounded in 52 different military missions.”
Al-Qassam fighters also shot down, according to a statement they issued, an Israeli Hermes 900 reconnaissance plane, and seized an Israeli Skylark reconnaissance plane and two drones.
Abu Ubaida added, “Al-Qassam fighters directed an intense missile barrage towards Tel Aviv and its surroundings, and destroyed the headquarters, field command rooms, and Israeli military crowds with mortar shells and short-range missiles on all fronts of the fighting.”
Bombing military crowds
In turn, the Al-Quds Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement – announced on Wednesday the bombing of Israeli military crowds with a barrage of mortar shells around the station area in Khan Yunis.
It also announced that it bombarded Israeli army soldiers and vehicles with mortar shells in the southern Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
The Al-Quds Brigades had previously broadcast images that it said were of targeting an Israeli force that had barricaded itself in a building in Khan Yunis.
The Al-Quds Brigades also broadcast pictures that it said were of targeting the occupation forces in the Central Governorate of Gaza with mortar shells.
Al-Quds Brigades spokesman Abu Hamza said, “Talk about returning settlers to the Gaza Strip while the aggression continues is an illusion.”
He added, “The occupation’s goal of eliminating the resistance has not and will not be achieved, even if the war continues indefinitely.”
