Abu Obeida sends a stern warning to the occupation
In this context, the al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida stated in a video address on Friday that the Palestinian Resistance’s current strategy focuses on inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy while actively pursuing the capture of Zionist soldiers.
Abu Obeida noted that al-Qassam’s fighters “are surprising the enemy with new tactics and methods, having learned lessons from the longest war and confrontation in the history of the Palestinian people,”
He cautioned the Zionist government that persisting with the conflict would mean resigning itself to a continued stream of fallen soldiers and officers returning in coffins.
