On the 95th day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced in a detailed message that the resistance fighters of the movement destroyed 42 military vehicles during the past week.
Abu Obeida said that the resistance movement killed 22 occupation soldiers, leaving dozens dead or wounded, in 52 military operations. He further stated that a house, four tunnel entrances, and a minefield were targeted with occupation soldiers inside, and a surface-to-air missile was launched at a helicopter over the Gaza Strip.

Abu Obeida confirmed that the al-Qassam fighters successfully downed a Hermes 900 reconnaissance plane, seized a Skylark plane and two drones, and decimated the field command headquarters, along with its rooms and military gatherings across all fronts, using mortar shells and short-range missiles. Furthermore, they unleashed a concentrated missile barrage towards 'Tel Aviv' and its surrounding areas.
Before Abu Obeida's speech, the spokesperson of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Abu Hamza, spoke in a broadcast address about the achievements of the resistance in Gaza.
Abu Hamza pointed to the failures of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and their prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, confirming that the brigades shot down an Israeli intelligence plane over Khan Younis, noting that more information would soon follow.

The spokesperson also announced the targeting of an IOF member who barricaded himself in a home in Khan Younis. Following his speech, the military media of the Al-Quds Brigades published footage documenting the encounter.
Abu Hamza called the events happening on the battlefield "far too great" to be documented by resistance fighters' cameras, as the Palestinian resistance continues to confront the IOF in Gaza, causing several losses for the enemy. He stressed that there would be "no return and no stability for Israeli settlers as long as the war continues.”
