The al-Qassad Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, shared on October 1 and 2 two videos documenting daring attacks in Gaza City, where the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is currently conducting a major offensive.
The first video shows an Israeli soldier being targeted by sniper fire. The soldier received a direct hit and collapsed. The video also includes footage of clashes with IDF troops from point blank, and mortar attacks on Israeli military positions around Gaza City.
In the other video, Hamas fighters can be seen blowing up a Merkava Mk.4M main battle tank of the IDF after planting an explosive device between its chassis and turret. The attack took place in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, according to the group, which said that armored personnel carriers were also targeted in a similar fashion.
The IDF launched the offensive in Gaza City, codenamed “Operation Gideon’s Chariots B,” on September 15. Three divisions, the 36th, 162nd and 98th, are currently operating there. The offensive has so far displaced some 800,000 Palestinians out of a million who had been taking shelter in the city.
On October 1, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the IDF was close to encircling Gaza City and that residents have a “last opportunity” to flee.
In a press release, the minister said the IDF was seizing the western portion of the Netzarim Corridor, which lies right to the south of Gaza City, up to the coast, “bisecting Gaza between its north and south.”
“This will tighten the encirclement around Gaza City and everyone leaving it to the south will be forced to pass through IDF checkpoints,” said Katz. “This is the last opportunity for Gaza residents who wish to do so to move south and leave Hamas terrorists isolated in Gaza City, in the face of IDF activity that continues with full force.”
Those remaining in Gaza City will be “terrorists and supporters of terror,” Katz declared. “The IDF is preparing for all possibilities and is determined to continue its operations, until the return of all the hostages and the disarmament of Hamas, en route to ending the war.”
Later on the same day, the IDF announced it had achieved “operational control” over the Netzarim Corridor’s western portion, preventing Palestinians from returning to Gaza City.
Palestinian health officials reported the death of 73 people in Gaza City and other parts of the Strip on October 1, and an additional 53 on October 2. The death toll since the start of the offensive in the city remains uncertain, but in general the Israeli war has so far claimed the lives of more than 66,200 Palestinians. The toll includes some 440 people who died of hunger, as Israel continues to restrict aid to the enclave.
Earlier this week, United States President Donald Trump announced a plan to end the war, which requires Hamas to release all hostages, disarm, and hand over control of the enclave to an international security force overseen by a body headed by non-other than former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Arab leaders welcomed the plan, but Hamas is yet to respond.

idf is still crushing gaza!!!
blow those kiddie killers sky high! hamas have been resisting heroically for 2 years. even the russians only defended stalingrad for 299 days. every joo who sets foot in gaza to murder, rape, torture and loot needs to realise they are living under the barrel of a gun and can be blown to hell at any moment. the joo settler scum have no future in gaza or any part of occupied palestine. the apartheid bantustans in south africa were a paradise compared with what
the jooz and their shabbos whores have planned for gaza – an actual concentration camp ruled over by blair, the most vile, corrupt, contemptible, despised, loathsome, degenerate individual ever to have walked god’s earth.
save ben gvir.
save bert33, from slipping into a permanent stupor of boredom and mediocrity, and chronic constipation
hamas keeps losing. lose harder and faster so it can be over and done with already.
no, they are not loosing they’re winning. that is why zio cunts cry for “ceasefire”. tony macarooni? how about werewolf instead to keep sheeps? tony macarooni was the one who definitely destroyed uk.
seig heil! hitler would be proud.
du bist ein primitiver nazi. du wirst sterben. an dummheit
you are invited to visit my favorite goat in gaza
jooz stealing other people’s names as usual. it’s what they always do to conceal their criminality.
rather sad, and a little bit tedious. but jooz will be jooz. it is what it is.
wow! i take my hat off to those brave men… walking up to a tank and planting explosives. congratulations and keep up the fight to expel those genocidal, baby killing invaders.
save the goats of gaza too
jooz are so predictable.
see y footage gay bar amerika swallowing hebrew jizz
50 years ago footage show viet song squirt jizz in my anuz
sound just like what happened to my deares goat in gaza
so did my favorite goat in gaza
freedom fighters of the highest calibre! after all they have been through they are still putting up a fight! whatever the outcome they will go down in history as brave freedom fighters! putting an explosive on a tank like that requires balls of steel! you will never find bravery like that with the israhellis children killers.
will they go down on a goat too, is what i want to know
al qassems can respond to the criminal rabbit blair entering the scene.
when we see a video with a red triangle pointing down at some aged caucasian miscreant and a sniper’s rifle discharging a direct hit, then we can say yes, blair’s contribution, and disappearance, was a complete success. that rat should’ve been taken out years ago.
you cannot compare a rabiit to a goats kunt
hopefully hamas will oblige. the jooz murdered count bernadotte, lord moyne, and tried to murder winston churchill. maybe it’s time to take a leaf out of their book.
jews have no plan. they just walk from one disaster to another
and they don’t love their goats as much as we do
trump is a liar and not one person who ever talked to him would ever trust him. being a liar is bad enough, but he’s also as dumb as a fucking rock. anything he says comes mostly from jarrod, his pos son in law. anything he says is aimed only at killing arabs and kissing israeli ass. but, no matter, after his next attack on iran, he will have far bigger worries, like how to keep from being lynched. anti-israeli feelings are at an all time high in the u.s. and getting worse every day.
as long as they don’t harm my favorite goat kunt in gaza it’s ok by me
they love cats and dogs.
the zionists pretend to negotiate then bomb the hamas negotiators claiming their offers are rejected. bibi has also proposed ending free speech in america. while the real enemy of americans has become israel and their political interference not the other countries in the region.
my goat has a much nicer ending
merkavas trophy aps turned to trophy.
and i turn to my goats kunt every night
