On December 26, the military wing of the Hamas Movement, released several videos showing its fighters ambushing Israeli troops and targeting their vehicles in the northern Gaza Strip.
Two of the videos released by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades were from the Sheikh Zayed area. The videos show a group of Israeli troops being ambushed with an explosive device and several main battle tanks getting hit with rocket-propelled grenades.
A third video showed Hamas fighters luring an Israeli force into a booby-trapped building in the city of Beit Hanoun then blowing it up.
A video from the al-Qasasib neighborhood in the Jabalia refugee camp shows an attack with a rocket-propelled grenade on a house occupied by Israeli troops and a heavily damaged tank being evacuated.
Another video shows an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) jeep being blown up with an explosive device in the area of Abraj al-Nada.
The IDF announced the death of five troops on December 26. The death of three more was reported on the morning of the next day. The last casualties brought the number of Israeli troops killed since the start of ground operations in Gaza to 164. Hundreds others were reportedly wounded.
The first phase of Israeli ground operations, which began on October 27, isolated the northern part of Gaza from the rest of the Strip. IDF troops occupied much of Gaza City, including the beach front, and established a presence in the city of Beit Lahia.
Israel expanded ground operations to include Khan Yunis after the week-long ceasefire in Gaza ended on December 1. A large part of the city is currently occupied by the IDF.
On December 22, the IDF demanded the evacuation of Bureij town in preparations to develop ground operations in central Gaza. IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant general Herzi Halevi confirmed that operations were being expanded in the central and southern parts of the Strip on December 26.
Despite occupying large parts of Gaza, the resistance of Hamas and other Palestinains armed factions are getting more effective. The IDF is sustaining more losses than before. It will be hard for Israel to maintain the current pace of its ground operations in the Strip.
these clips of whacked and stacked baby burning shlomo khazar scum totally make my day. god grant victory to the gallant freedom fighters of palestine. the semitic people of that terrorized land are fighting for all that is decent on this earth against the satanic and wounded anglozionazi empire of filth and all the evil it entails. hamas…hezbollah……. houthis… onward to the destruction of the chosenite demon!
the pathetic zionist child killers despite $1.7 trillion in us deadbeat warmongers weapons and funds can’t even fight against a bunch of brave palestinian kids in track suits and tennis shoes, let alone fight iran or hezbollah. the best option is to bleed the zionist bastards to death.
“the idf announced the death of five troops on december 26.” sure, i believe…🤣
so far the idf has admitted 160 deaths and a good 500 soldiers wounded since the start of the gaza operation. hamas/ hezb claim 10 times this number in idf casualties.
the zionists have all the weapons, land, sea, air and the murderous nations usa, eu, great britain, germany, greece to encircle gaza and lose the war because hamas is fighting for the freedom of its people.
hamas has become the masters of urban warfare. now give them the arsenal of an average russian tank division and then it gets interesting…
give them fpv drones.
the zionist scuim are lying about their number of dead and injured. they far exceed the death toll they’ve announced. death to zionist fascists
il sont maudit pour l’éternité c’est pas des humains
by their own actions, israel has sealed its fate – the drone attacks on israeli potable water & wastewater treatment plants, electricity & transportation grids is a foregone conclusion. there’s no telling where this will all end – armageddon?
