TEHRAN- The armed wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, has announced new deadly operations against the Israeli occupation as Tel Aviv acknowledges over a dozen injured troops in Gaza.

More than 300 days after Israel launched its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, there appears to be very little signs that Hamas is anyway near being weakened, let alone, eliminated.

This was the officially stated goal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime on October 7, 2023. 

The al-Qassam Brigades published its latest operations against the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in various fronts across the besieged enclave where the Israeli military is attempting to invade for the umpteenth time. 

Al-Qassam underlined that its fighters in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah in southern Gaza, are engaged in intense battles at close range against the occupying forces and their invading vehicles. 

Among the latest footage published by the armed wing of Hamas, is clear documentation of an Israeli special force unit being ambushed with an explosive device planted underground. 

At least three IOF troops are struck by a large blast, in the al-Farahin area, east of Khan Younis, south of the Strip. 

The footage captures the moment when the troops are carried on stretchers and rushed away for urgent treatment. Their fate is unknown but the video continues, capturing an IOF helicopter evacuating the troops. 

A tank is blown up at close range in the same area of eastern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip that the IOF invaded again on Friday but appears to be facing stiff resistance. 

On Saturday, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted a gathering of the IOF east of Khan Younis city with 107 rockets, igniting fires at the targeted location.

Among the other flashpoint regions in the strip has been the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah in the south. 

In a statement published on Sunday, the al-Qassam Brigades said it had “managed to target a Zionist force that had fortified itself inside the Indonesian hospital in Tel al-Sultan with a TBG anti-fortification missile and an anti-personnel missile, causing casualties among the force. The fighters also observed helicopters landing for evacuation.”

The military media of the Qassam brigades also showed footage documenting the targeting of a building where Israeli forces were fortified, using TBG missiles.

The footage clearly showed the occupying soldiers taking cover in the building, followed by an Israeli helicopter arriving to evacuate the dead and wounded soldiers from the targeted building.

Al-Qassam confirmed that its snipers were able to hit an Israeli soldier in an area, southwest of Tel al-Sultan.

An Israeli military bulldozer, of the D9 type, was targeted with a Yassin 105 missile in the Zallata area, east of Rafah. 

Another ambush, shown by al-Qassam in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, was executed as another building where an Israeli force of nine soldiers were holed up was targeted. 

The al-Qassam Brigades declared in a statement that its fighters targeted the building, which was fortified by Israeli soldiers, with TBG missiles in Tel al-Sultan. 

The statement noted that the operation resulted in casualties among the Israeli forces and that al-Qassam fighters observed the landing of helicopters to evacuate the dead and wounded.

Other videos released by the armed wing of Hamas shows yet another barrage of missiles being launched from the enclave. 

As the U.S.-backed genocidal war waged on Gaza by the Israeli military enters 310 days, reports have surfaced that Hamas has managed to recruit 5,000 more fighters over the past months in defense of the besieged Palestinian territory. 

The Israeli military has admitted at least a dozen soldiers had sustained injuries in the ongoing battles in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.

Since the beginning of the indiscriminate Israeli war in October last year, 4,284 Israeli officers and soldiers have been injured, including 2,190 since the start of the ground operation, according to the Israeli military’s statements. 

Tel Aviv has also allowed the publication of data that reveals 689 officers and soldiers have been killed and 639 have sustained severe injuries since the beginning of the war, with 213 officers and soldiers still undergoing treatment in hospitals, including 29 with serious injuries.

Experts believe the IOF announces low casualty levels to avoid the embarrassing losses it is incurring.  

Despite strict censorship on Israeli news coverage on genocide in Gaza, Israeli news reports have emerged indicating a tally of 10,000 disabled troops as a result of combat in a totally blockaded Palestinian territory. 

Military analysts say if 10,000 Israeli soldiers have been disabled and taken out of service, then the number of serious and moderate injuries would logically be much higher. 

Hamas says it has enough fighters and ammunition to continue what has become a war of attrition for years to come, if needed.
