Never-Dying Resistance

Attempts to weaken Palestinian resistance proving fruitless.

TEHRAN- The Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip has trapped the Israeli army in several areas and is attacking the regime's ground forces from zero distance. 

The Israeli military's massacres of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and the destruction of almost the entire coastal enclave have been well documented. 

The power of the Palestinian resistance in attacking the Israeli military's ground forces appears to be steadfast and contrary to the regime's claims it is nowhere near the verge of collapsing. 

It continues to confront the Israeli occupation forces who have penetrated the enclave from various fronts, inflicting heavy losses on the regime's military vehicles and soldiers. 

Furthermore, reports suggest the Palestinian resistance has been able to achieve a level of terror among the Israeli army. 

The regime says its military infantry units have been operating in the heart of Gaza City and are also focusing on Khan Younis in the south, following two months of the war on Gaza. 

Despite claiming to be targeting the Palestinian resistance, the Israeli military has provided no evidence so far of inflicting any major losses on it. 

While much of the Gaza Strip has been reduced to rubble following more than 22,000 airstrikes (according to the Israeli occupation), the resistance remains intact and appears to be unharmed. 

Heavy Israeli airstrikes have accompanied its ground offensives, yet only civilians are paying the price. 

On the contrary, the White House bypassed Congress to immediately transfer nearly 14,000 tank rounds to the regime's military. 

According to reporters and sources on the ground in Gaza, fierce clashes are taking place at various points in the north and south of the enclave, which are preventing the Israeli military from trying to advance. 

This has been backed up by scores of video clips published by the Palestinian resistance over the past few days. 

In the neighborhood of Jabalia city, northern Gaza, the resistance surrounded a number of Israeli tanks and soldiers. 

A similar scenario has taken place in the south and west of al-Faluja village, northern Gaza. 

The resistance has also prevented Israeli ground forces from advancing in the vicinity of the Jabalia camp, the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the north of Gaza, as well as areas in Khan Yunis in the south. 

The military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam brigades, announced that its forces targeted a special Israeli army unit in the al-Qasasib neighborhood in Jabalia with anti-fortification TBG missiles and Al Yassin 105 shells, killing its soldiers and leaving others injured in a bid to prevent the unit from occupying the area. 

Al-Qassam conducted the operation under heavy Israeli artillery shelling. 

The armed wing of Hamas has destroyed two Merkava tanks and an Israeli Caterpillar D9 military bulldozer with Al-Yassin 105 shells in the same neighborhood. 

In the West of Jabalia, the al-Qassam resistance also targeted Israeli special forces, who were stationed in two booby-trapped houses, with anti-personnel weapons. It confirmed that six Israeli troops, including an officer, have been killed in the attack. 

Also, al-Qassam engaged in fierce street-by-street battles from zero distance with an Israeli special force that tried to penetrate west of the Jabalia camp, where they killed and wounded members of the unit. Six Israeli military vehicles and an Israeli army bulldozer have been destroyed with anti-tank missiles. 

In addition, the al-Qassam brigades targeted an Israeli special force holed up inside a building with an improvised explosive device. 

In the al-Faluja area, the armed wing of Hamas threw two hand grenades at Israeli soldiers inside a building and destroyed an Israeli military vehicle. 

The resistance forces killed ten Israeli soldiers in al-Faluja, and destroyed an Israeli Caterpillar D9 bulldozer in the Tal al-Zaatar area, also located in the north of the Gaza Strip, with a direct hit.
Al-Qassam also targeted Israeli forces penetrating into Gaza City areas with heavy-caliber mortar shells. 

East of Gaza City, specifically in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, the al-Qassam brigades targeted five Israeli tanks, a troop carrier, and three military bulldozers with Al Yassin 105 shells, while a troop carrier was targeted in the Zeitoun neighborhood. 

In al-Jalaa Street, the resistance targeted four Israeli Merkava tanks and an Israeli Caterpillar D9 military bulldozer with anti-tank missiles. 

In the northeast of Khan Yunis, the resistance soldiers ambushed 15 Israeli soldiers with an anti-personnel barrel bomb. Following the attack, they advanced to the area and found that 13 Israeli troops had been killed. They killed the remaining two and returned to their bases safely. 
Also, in Khan Younis, the armed wing of Hamas targeted two Israeli tanks while bombing a mobilization of occupation soldiers at the Israeli Sufa military base near Gaza with intense missile barrages. 

For its part, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds brigades, targeted an Israeli military vehicle with a tandem-charge shell in al-Faluja. 

Also, its forces have been able to target three Israeli military vehicles with tandem shells and RPGs, halting an Israeli military offensive in Jabalia and al-Faluja. 

In addition, the al-Quds brigades bombed the Israeli Sufa military base with a missile barrage in what appears to have been close coordination with al-Qassam. 

Heavy-caliber mortar shells also struck a gathering of Israeli military vehicles in the Netzarim settlement, an area that the Israeli army has used to wage its ground offensives. 

Smaller resistance factions in Gaza have issued statements declaring that their forces are engaged in fierce clashes and confronting the regime's military. 

The Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy has said 425 soldiers have been killed since Operation al-Aqsa Storm on October 7. 

Since the start of the ground offensives, nearly 100 Israeli troops have been killed, while nearly 600 others have been injured, 127 of whom are in critical condition. 255 injured soldiers have been classified as being in "serious" condition. 

The regime is known to downplay its military death toll and reveal the true extent of casualties once a war is over. 

"180 ZIONIST VEHICLES DESTROYED" 

The official spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, Abu Ubeida, said on Sunday that the al-Qassam brigades have "completely or partially destroyed more than 180 Zionist military vehicles over the past ten days". 

In an audio speech, he pointed out that the resistance is in fine spirit and is continuing to confront the occupation forces penetrating the strip from various directions, inflicting multiple casualties on the enemy and sustaining very few. 

Abu Ubaida highlighted how the temporary truce proved the credibility of the resistance, stressing that "none of the enemy’s captives will come out except on our terms". 

He went on to say that "the Nazi-Zionist enemy continues its aggression against our people and takes out its revenge on civilians." 

While speaking about the Israeli captives held by the resistance, he said the regime had no chance of getting any of its captives back without exchanging them for Palestinian prisoners. 

"Neither Netanyahu, nor his government, nor the Zionists in the White House can free a single soldier, and the failed operation proved that," referring to the botched Israeli military attempt to free the Israeli captive, Sa’ar Baruch, and how Hamas's armed wing repelled the regime's special operation. 

Abu Ubaida stressed that the occupation failed in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, stressing that it will fail even more as its aggression continues and moves to other areas of the Strip.

"We carried out several specific operations for the invading forces outside these forces, and these operations varied between setting up ambushes and confronting them with machine guns, individual bombs, and booby-trapped tunnel nozzles, and trapping them in pre-prepared traps, in addition to sniping operations," he added. 

The Israeli enemy "is receiving painful strikes .... what is coming is worse and greater." he noted.
