Al-Qassam Brigades noted that these operations were part of the "Breaking the Sword" ambush.
On Friday, the group announced that its Resistance fighters had, on Thursday, successfully sniped four Israeli soldiers and officers on al-Awda Street, east of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, leaving them killed or wounded.
On the same day, Abu Obeida, the Brigades' spokesperson, affirmed that Palestinian Resistance fighters "continue to engage in heroic battles, carry out well-planned ambushes, and lie in wait for enemy forces" to inflict deadly losses on them.
He stressed that these operations are carried out “at the time, place, and method of the Resistance fighters' choosing,” adding that “their battlefield heroism—from Beit Hanoun to Rafah—is a source of pride, a military miracle, and a call to action for the youth and forces of the entire nation.”
Abu Obeida added that the fighters remain steadfast, fully prepared for confrontation through defensive ambushes and combat tactics, "bound by their oath to fight until victory or martyrdom.”
Details of the ambush
The al-Qassam Brigades carried out the complex "Breaking the Sword" ambush on April 19, 2025.
In detail, al-Qassam stated that its fighters targeted an Israeli military Storm vehicle, used by the Combat Intelligence Battalion of the Gaza Division, with an anti-tank shell, inflicting confirmed casualties.
When Israeli reinforcements arrived for rescue, they were ambushed with an anti-personnel explosive, leaving troops dead and wounded.
