The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, has released a new video addressed to Israeli occupation soldiers deployed in the Gaza Strip, bearing the stark title: "To be Nazi occupation soldiers in Gaza... to be imprisoned is better than to die."
The footage includes graphic scenes of dead and captured Israeli soldiers, some of whom are shown being handed over. The video delivers a direct warning to occupation forces, underscoring the high cost of continued aggression in Gaza.

The release comes as Palestinian resistance factions continue to repel Israeli incursions into various areas of the besieged territory, engaging in close-quarters combat and executing ambushes against Israeli troops and military vehicles.
Palestinian Resistance challenges Israeli arrogance
According to Al Mayadeen’s Gaza correspondent, intense clashes and guerrilla operations are ongoing in multiple sectors, with the resistance inflicting casualties and disrupting the occupation’s military advances.
The al-Qassam video is part of a growing psychological warfare campaign targeting the morale of Israeli forces amid mounting losses and operational setbacks in the field.
This latest message reflects the steadfast stance of the Palestinian resistance, as it continues to emphasize that surrender and capture remain preferable to death for those sent into Gaza under what the resistance terms a colonial war of extermination.
Groundbreaking operation targets undercover soldiers
The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Thursday that it had launched a series of rocket attacks targeting Sderot, Mefalsim, and Nir Oz settlements located in the Gaza envelope.
Earlier, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces confirmed the launch of two rockets from the Gaza Strip toward the area, triggering air raid sirens.
In a separate statement, the brigades reported that its fighters targeted a vehicle transporting undercover Israeli forces, known as mista'aravim, with an RPG in the middle of Jala Street in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stated that its fighters shelled an Israeli military position and armored vehicles near 5th Street in northern Khan Younis using mortar rounds.
