Throughout Israel’s longest war on the Gaza Strip, in fact on Palestinians, the Palestinian Resistance capabilities remained largely unchanged.
It has been nearly 100 days since the Israeli military invaded parts of Gaza, with the lofty aims of destroying Hamas, dismantling the Resistance, and managing post-Hamas Gaza.
With time, more objectives were added, while others were rebranded. Israeli officials even spoke of forcibly or ‘voluntarily’ displacing Palestinians out of the Strip.
But throughout Israel’s longest war on the Gaza Strip, in fact on Palestinians, the Palestinian Resistance capabilities remained largely unchanged. To the contrary, as the war carried on, Resistance groups seemed to acquire more knowledge on the nature of the battle, thus scoring even more effective hits against advancing Israeli soldiers.
Below are some of today’s short statements, and videos, by Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance groups as conveyed through their Telegram channels.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam Brigades target 4 Zionist Merkava tanks and a troop carrier with Al-Yassin 105 shells east of the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
