Yesterday, the Al-Qassam Brigades broadcast the sniping of a Zionist soldier in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, and said it was Sergeant Eyal Shines (19 years old), after the occupation army acknowledged his death on Friday morning, indicating that he was from the 931 Battalion in the Nahal Brigade.
According to military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, Al-Qassam’s announcement of the name of the soldier and his killing by a sniper carries specific messages.
Al-Duwairi said that the Palestinian resistance records the names of Zionist soldiers who committed significant criminal acts in the Gaza Strip through videos published on social media platforms. He pointed out that these Zionist soldiers committed heightened levels of crimes, such as stealing from Palestinian homes or killing children and women, “so the resistance tracks them as individuals when it has complete information.”
He warned that these people are placed under surveillance and follow-up, “and they are sniped when the opportunity comes for retaliation,” concluding that Al-Qassam Brigades announcing the name of the soldier in the sniping operations indicates the bad criminal record of that dead man.
For example, in March, Al-Qassam Brigades hunted and killed the officer responsible for the storming of Al-Shifa Hospital in November 2023.
Sniping operations in general take place after tracking and monitoring, and take hours or days after the resistance sniper chooses a specific place based on Zionist military movements. Most of the sniper operations of the Palestinian resistance have been successful.
