Nearly a year after the October 7 surprise attack which sparked the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Movement, continue to inflict losses on the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the Palestinian enclave.
On October 2, the group released video footage showing its fighters targeting two Merkava MK 4M main battle tanks, a Namer armored personnel carrier and a Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer with rocket-propelled grenades in the al-Tanour neighborhood to the east of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
The group released another video on October 3 showing a recent ambush that targeted an armored unit of the IDF in the al-Fakhari area to the east of the city of Khan Yunis city, which is also located in the southern part of the Strip.
During the ambush, Hamas fighters targeted three Merkava MK 4M main battle tanks, two Namer armored personnel carriers, five Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozers and one drill with rocket-propelled grenades. The fighters also blow up a group of Israeli combat engineers with explosive devices.
The last part of the video shows Israeli bulldozers pulling out damaged tanks, military helicopters evacuating casualties, combat gear left behind by wounded troops and the remains of destroyed vehicles.
So far, the IDF has lost 348 troops during ground operations against Hamas and other Palestinian factions in Gaza and along its border. Around 2,280 others have been reportedly wounded in the Strip. In addition, over 500 vehicles were hit there, according to Hebrew media.
Meanwhile on the Palestinian side, the death toll from the Israeli war has exceeded 41,700, with women and children making up most of the casualties.
Despite killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and destroying most of Gaza, Israel is yet to fulfill any of the war’s stated goals.
Hamas is still ruling the Strip, the group’s military wing remains highly capable and it continues to hold around a hundred Israeli hostages who were captured during the October 7 surprise attack.

ok its time for a bit of humor….i am going to ask a question, try not to laugh or cry. does anybody think that israel can continue its current trajecory of subhuman and vile behavior for another 3000 years and survive as long as the persian civilization? :-)))
it won’t be 30 years anymore. many israeli intellectuals see what is happening as the beginning of the end of israel, a situation that they have always warned about
that includes albert einstein in the late 1940s warned about the fascist link between transatlantic zionism
this may be true enough, but consider that the few globalists likely plan on having suppressed the many of the rest of us long before then. we have to get governmental etc. control back into our hands promptly.
when did you have governmental etc. control in your hands?
‘exactly, and the first step to achieve this aim is to stop accepting the so-called “justice system” of these illegitimate scum. they have no right to “govern” us, no right to send their henchmen resp. so-called “police” after us etc. etc.
as soon as we do our own things and start to live by our rules, and give a ratsh*t about their fake rules, laws and justice & education system, we are on the winning road immediately. see the taliban – they never accepted usa held elections or education system in afghanistan – and now their country (afghanistan) is free !
khazars have judaic religion only last 1200 years, not 3000
persia is over 3000 years old. maybe it was not clear
the real question is can the judeo-masonic crime syndicate continue. they also control the us, the uk, and all the globalist puppet regimes. and they have bio warfare as a a last result in case wars aren’t effective in culling the herd. (thus allowing them to keep control.)
last resort*
you are right. problem is that people do not listen what the jews say often directly into their faces. they admit it openly – but the masses do not listen !! see: head of pfizer albert bourla openly declares that with his company(pfizer) he aims to quote” reduce world population by 50 % ” !!!(end of quote). http://alturl.com/8gaod so what the heck is it that people do not understand? jews are the enemy of man! they are – like hitler truely stated -> the most evil world-enemy of all times !!!!
israel is the opposite of civilisation.
the way the zionists are going, i think half a year they destroy themselves.
no need to cry then. keep going.
they’re not crying.
you did when iran retaliated.
+ trembling hands of mister yahoo, that’s why there were no “commentators on duty” this day. when fuhrer is trembling, minions can’t get clear orders, so they prefer to be passive before new instructions.
netanyahu is a us employee. he’s not trembling, and he’s not holed up awaiting the end.
watch his latest video from a bunker where he reads something from a sheet, his hands are trembling.
i can’t bring myself to look at that odious creature.
no he’s not trembling, his just shaking like the harlem dance lol
well, that tank commander won’t be crying… he just got his head blown off
hee he
it’s open season on shlomo.
sure deservedly so!
so then…where are the “good” jews? they are nowhere near the levers of military intelligence power. they have been relegated by their parasitic brethren. time to emigrate. zionism is finished as a practical matter
there are a lot of good jews out on the streets protesting about the gaza genocide. i’ve met them. but like the rest of us, the population at large have zero influence on policy in our wonderful democracy. they have been viciously smeared by the zionist mafia for their trouble.
so shlomos think its a good idea to fight now a 5 front war against hamas, hisbollah, westbank, houthi and iran, all at the same time and they really think they can win? unlikely and if the resistance from syria and irak also stets more in, than they will get a 7 front war that zioland will not survive on the long term.
it could be that the judeo-masonic crime syndicate already decided they want to go forward with a third world war — and israel is just lighting the match in the region.
they just try to get the yanks in there to die for them
the americans have a centuries-old tradition, like most empires, of getting others to die for them. the deal with the jewish supremacists is such an agreement, but they drive a hard bargain. they seem to grasp better than their us patrons that a deal is in the eye of the beholder.
hammas is fake, the footage is doctored bullcrap. they’re just a pretext for israel and the us to purge the area of it’s muslim populace
the guys ought to go to a film school so to allow the viewers the best camerashot!
