The Military Media of the al-Qassam Brigades published footage documenting its Resistance fighters sniping four Zionist occupation soldiers and officers in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Brigades said the operation was carried out using the locally manufactured “Ghoul” rifle and that it took place on al-Awda Street, east of Beit Hanoun.
The footage also showed al-Qassam fighters targeting Zionist military equipment with anti-armor shells.
Al-Qassam Brigades noted that these operations were part of the “Breaking the Sword” ambush.
On Friday, the group announced that its Resistance fighters had, on Thursday, successfully sniped four soldiers and officers on al-Awda Street, east of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, leaving them killed or wounded.
On the same day, Abu Obeida, the Brigades’ spokesperson, affirmed that Palestinian Resistance fighters “continue to engage in heroic battles, carry out well-planned ambushes, and lie in wait for enemy forces” to inflict deadly losses on them.
He stressed that these operations are carried out “at the time, place, and method of the Resistance fighters’ choosing,” adding that “their battlefield heroism—from Beit Hanoun to Rafah—is a source of pride, a military miracle, and a call to action for the youth and forces of the entire nation.”
Abu Obeida added that the fighters remain steadfast, fully prepared for confrontation through defensive ambushes and combat tactics, “bound by their oath to fight until victory or martyrdom.”
Details of the ambush
The al-Qassam Brigades carried out the complex “Breaking the Sword” ambush on April 19, 2025.
In detail, al-Qassam stated that its fighters targeted a Zionist military Storm vehicle, used by the Combat Intelligence Battalion of the Gaza Division, with an anti-tank shell, inflicting confirmed casualties.
When Zionist reinforcements arrived for rescue, they were ambushed with an anti-personnel explosive, leaving troops dead and wounded.
Al-Qassam also confirmed targeting a newly established Zionist military position in the ambush area with four RPG shells, followed by mortar fire, and the group’s military media released footage showing the attack on invading occupation vehicles near the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.
It is noteworthy that, as of April 25, 849 occupation soldiers have been killed since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, including 412 during the regime’s ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, according to the Zionist military.
Yemen fires missile at Zionist entity
A missile was fired from Yemen at a target in the Zionist-occupied al-Naqab desert early on Saturday, Israeli media outlets reported.
Sirens sounded in several settlements in the region, which hosts a number of key Zionist military installations.
The Zionist military command said that air defences shot down the incoming missile.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced two military operations against vital Zionist targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The YAF’s Missile Force carried out a top-tier military operation targeting a vital Zionist site in the occupied Haifa area using a hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.
He confirmed that the missile successfully reached its target and that the Zionist interception systems failed to stop it, adding that the strike caused widespread fear and panic among settlers, with more than two million occupiers eportedly rushing to shelters.
Meanwhile, the YAF’s UAV Unit carried out another military operation, attacking another vital Zionist site in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa (Tel Aviv) with a drone of the Yafa type, the spokesperson added.
Saree said the operations were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in rejection of the genocide in Gaza being committed by “Israel” with US support.
The YAF spokesperson reiterated that the Yemeni people will neither retreat nor abandon their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties and will continue their path of Resistance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people until the Zionist war on Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the enclave is lifted.
