Al-Qassam use tunnel warfare to destroy Israeli forces: Footage
Hamas' military wing is using its network of tunnels to its advantage as the Israeli occupation goes on the offensive in Gaza.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas Resistance movement, published Wednesday footage showing its forces wreaking havoc against the invading Israeli occupation forces east of the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Qassam's Resistance fighters were seen emerging from tunnels armed with the al-Yassin 105, a tandem anti-tank RPG that is proving to be highly effective against the Israeli occupation's advanced tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV).
The fighters were seen accurately firing at the invading Israeli forces, setting their vehicles ablaze and inflicting major casualties upon the IOF.

The Israeli occupation forces have been greatly suffering since they entered Gaza, with Israeli media announcing that thus far, 16 soldiers have been killed.
Regarding the targeting of soldiers and military vehicles, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth pointed out that the primary threat to the Israeli forces lies in the anti-tank weapons possessed by the Palestinian resistance.
Yossi Yehoshua, the newspaper's military affairs expert, emphasized that the use of anti-tank weapons by the Resistance exacts a high price on the IOF, in addition to other threats, including sniping and the use of IEDs.
The newspaper reported that the names of 9 newly killed soldiers were recorded this morning. They were reportedly killed during attempts to infiltrate the Gaza Strip, where they faced intense resistance.
Seven Israeli soldiers fell due to injuries they had sustained from an anti-tank missile fired at an armored personnel carrier, while two others were killed in an explosion caused by an IED.
Earlier today, an IOF spokesperson reported that they had informed 326 families that their family members who were serving in the army had been killed since the onset of the war. They also announced that they had informed 240 families that their family members were being held captive
Moreover, Al-Qassam Brigades bombed Wednesday the central control and communications tower in the Abu Mteibek site east of central Gaza on the 26th day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Al-Qassam fighters said in a statement that its fighters carried out an operation in the Abu Mteibek military site, managing to knock down an Israeli communications tower.
Al-Qassam also revealed that its fighters caught an Israeli infantry force west of the Erez Crossing in the northern Gaza Strip from behind enemy lines, killing three soldiers point blank.
In the same direction, Al-Qassam's fighters destroyed four Israeli military vehicles using Yassin-105 anti-tank shells while also confronting an infantry force in a building in Beit Hanoun.
