Al-Qassam Brigades announced its full responsibility for two bombing attacks in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank on August 30, at exactly 11:00 pm (local time). 

The attacks targeted the Gush Etzion and the Karmei Tzur settlements in northern al-Khalil and injured four Israelis, including the commander of the Etzion Brigade. 

Al-Qassam mourned two of its fighters who executed the attacks, martyr Mohammad Ihsan Marqah and martyr Zahdi Nidal Abu Afifa. 

The Palestinian Resistance faction detailed the two operations, which occurred simultaneously.

The Gush Etzion operation

In the first operation, martyr Marqah set up an explosive-laden car at a gas station. The goal of the operation was to lure Israeli occupation troops to the area of the attack in the hope of ambushing the incoming force. 

As occupation forces arrived at the area, the Resistance fighter opened fire from his automatic weapon at the troops, inflicting casualties, including Gal Rich, the commander of the Etzion Brigade.

The Karmei Tzur operation 

Martyr Afifa, on the other hand, barraged a car through a checkpoint in the Karmei Tzur settlement and ran over a local security member before firing his weapons at a group of Israeli settlers. He then detonated explosives planted in the vehicle.

Al-Qassam will continue to aid, conduct top-tier operations against Israelis

Hamas' military wing revealed the details of the operations to reaffirm "that all governorates in the West Bank, without exception, will continue to conceal within their neighborhoods more painful and major surprises for the treacherous occupier."

Another operation in the al-Khalil governorate saw a Palestinian Resistance fighter execute a drive-by shooting, targeting a police car near the Tarqumiyah military checkpoint. Martry Muhannad Mohammad al-Asoud killed three Israeli police officers present in the car, before being tracked down and killed by occupation forces later on Sunday. 

"The brigades reaffirm their commitment to all the heroes of our people in the West Bank, continuing to supply and support them with equipment and information, and preparing martyrs and operatives for top-tier operations that will soon drive this occupier from our land," al-Qassam stated. 

The West Bank has come under fierce Israeli aggression that has been ongoing for several days and mainly targeted the northern governorates of the occupied territory, including Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas. 

Palestinian Resistance factions called on Palestinians everywhere to mobilize against the aggression. 

Meanwhile, al-Qassam Brigades released a statement in which it explained that Palestine's response to the aggression on the northern West Bank would come from the southern West Bank.
