The military spokesperson for  Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, announced that Resistance fighters had carried out several retaliatory operations against Israeli occupation forces in various incursion and mobilization areas in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the Resistance continues to confront the ongoing Israeli aggression for the 76th day.

Abu Obeida confirmed, in a recorded speech on Thursday, that the Resistance fighters of al-Qassam Brigades have so far targeted 740 IOF vehicles since the start of the invasion, proving that the Resistance has been inflicting heavy losses on the invading Israeli forces.

The spokesperson revealed that al-Qassam Brigades carried out, during the last week, more than 15 successful sniping operations across various fronts throughout the Strip.

Abu Obeida stressed that the "lost and troubled enemy" has been in a quest "in search of any image of a victory or achievement," emphasizing that the Israeli occupation "has not learned a single lesson from history."

The occupation continues to commit follies and repeat historical mistakes, attributing this to the fact that the occupation government is "detached from the reality of the Palestinian people and ignorant of their civilization."

Abu Obeida also touched on the occupation’s captives held by the Resistance in the Gaza Strip, saying, "If the enemy wants to return the captured Israelis alive, it [occupation government] has no choice but to stop the aggression," in reference to captives being killed in the Israeli bombing campaign. This statement reaffirmed the Resistances' firm position that no prisoner exchange is to be negotiated before ending the Israeli aggression on the Strip.

Referring to the occupation's declared goals for its ongoing aggression, he stressed that "eliminating the Resistance is doomed to failure," pointing out that this has become an indisputable fact. He added that the failed IOF operations to recover the captured Israelis "proved what we [al-Qassam] declared since day one of the war," once again referring to a condition set by the Resistance, which says that Israeli captives' can only be released in exchange for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners.

The spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades saluted the Resistance fighters on the Yemeni and Lebanese fronts, as well as the Resistance fighters across the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, urging them to continue to confront the Israeli occupation and even escalate operations across occupied Palestine.

Their blood 'on Netanyahu's hands': IOF kill 3 new captives

Just after Abu Obeida's statement, Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, published a new video footage titled "We tried to keep them alive but Netanyahu insisted on killing them," referring to the Israeli occupation’s killing of three Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip.

The video depicted three Israeli captives: Elia Tolidano, Nick Beezer, and Ron Sherman, who were being held inside a room in a tunnel.

Al-Qassam addressed Israeli settlers saying that these three captives "were killed by your army’s weapons," referring to the indiscriminate bombardment that the Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out across the Gaza Strip.
