The al-Qassam Brigades announced the first-ever martyrdom operation targeting Zionist occupation forces during the current and ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, on Friday.
Hamas’ military wing said one of its fighters conducted a “complex security operation,” where the fighter secured a pathway to execute a one-of-a-kind attack on invading troops in the Jabalia refugee camp.
Such attacks have been excluded from the Resistance’s tactics, whereby the majority of confrontations revolved around hit-and-run attacks and improvised explosive device (IED) ambushes. However, seeing that this is the third military campaign launched by occupation forces on Jabalia since the invasion ensued, al-Qassam’s leadership has re-introduced martyrdom operations.
In detail, a fighter eliminated a Zionist sniper team in the camp, consisting of a sniper and a spotter, seizing their equipment and camouflage.
An hour after executing the initial attack, the fighter disguised himself in Zionist military attire before approaching a force, consisting of six troops. He later detonated an explosive belt he was wearing, resulting in casualties among the invading troops.
This operation follows a stabbing operation conducted by the Brigades in the Jabalia refugee camp, where a fighter stabbed and killed an officer and three soldiers, on Thursday.
On Friday, the Brigades also released footage of a one-way attack drone attack on the Magen military site, located to the east of Khan Younis. The attack was conducted via an al-Zawari drone.
Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), announced that it fired Badr-1 and 107 mm rocket artillery shells at the Zionist command and control post in the Netzarim Axis.
It also said its fighters downed a surveillance drone over Gaza City.
On its part, the al-Mujahideen Brigades announced that its mortar units shelled occupation forces located in eastern the al-Bureij refugee, in the central Gaza Strip.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade also fired 107 mm rockets at occupation forces in the Netzarim Axis.
