Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, mourned on Monday at dawn two of its martyrs "on the road to al-Quds" - Ibrahim Mohammad Othman (23 years old) and Mustafa Ezzedine Hussein (21 years old).

In a statement, the brigades said that the two martyrs who were killed on Sunday evening were martyred while carrying out a heroic operation at the Hanita military site in northern occupied Palestine.

It also indicated that its resistance fighters penetrated the Israeli occupation’s security fence at the Hanita military site in northern occupied Palestine after the two martyrs confronted Israeli forces in support of Gaza in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and in response to the occupation’s massacres against civilians in the besieged Strip.

Earlier on Saturday, the military spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, declared that the era of the collapse of the Israeli occupation entity has begun and the illusion of the "invincible Israeli Army" and the "mighty Merkava tank" was shattered by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

In a televised speech, Abu Obeida said the Israeli aggression and its massacres against civilians in the Strip are clear indicators of the entity's weakening position and warned the Israeli occupation military that it would be defeated if it launched a ground offensive operation in Gaza.

Furthermore, the spokesperson pointed out an incident that took place during the first phase of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, revealing how Resistance fighters were able to inflict heavy damage on an Israeli force in a faceoff confrontation forcing it to retreat.

"We witnessed the exceptional courage of one of our fighters, armed with victory provided by Allah, as he destroyed three enemy vehicles, killing and injuring [Israeli sodliers] inside. The enemy retreated hastily, almost as if fleeing from a full-fledged army."
