In a video shared by Al-Quds Brigades, the sniper who gunned down the first Israeli soldier, sheltered inside a Palestinian civilian home, was the same fighter who also took down another soldier.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued to add new conditions to any possible ceasefire deal in Gaza, while insisting on maintaining control over the Philadelphi Corridor, the reality on the ground tells a different story.
This different story has become quite redundant, that of Israeli soldiers being gunned down, one after the other, by Palestinian fighters and snipers, a typical scene which is usually followed by military helicopters hauling the dead and the wounded.
The latest of such scenes took place in the Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City on Tuesday. In a video shared by Al-Quds Brigades, the sniper who gunned down the first Israeli soldier, sheltered inside a Palestinian civilian home, was the same fighter who also took down another soldier.
The Israeli political establishment speaks of a permanent occupation of Gaza or at least a permanent Israeli military presence in parts of Gaza. Palestinian resistance, however, continues to demonstrate that neither of these options is practically possible, neither now nor at any time in the future.
Below are the latest statements from the main Palestinian Resistance groups in the West Bank and Gaza.
The statements below also contain the latest announcement by the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which continues to target Israeli occupation forces in occupied south Lebanon and northern Israel.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam fighters were able to ambush a Zionist infantry force in Al-Balawneh neighborhood in Tulkarem camp in the northern West Bank, and they confirm that they inflicted certain casualties on the force.
