Palestinian fighters are fighting at point-blank and from positions the heavily armored Israeli occupation army did not anticipate, General Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps IRGC, Major General Hossein Salami said on Saturday

Addressing a large rally in support of Gaza in Tehran, the IRGC chief added that the Palestinian youth are engaged in a covert war and are inflicting significant losses on the occupation."

"The recent Al-Aqsa Flood operation, a sudden and unique operation, was a response to a century-long injustice perpetrated by the UK, the United States, and the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people who were displaced from their homes 75 years ago."

Salami also condemned the ongoing massacres and genocide against innocents and civilians for over 40 days but stressed that the Palestinian Resistance would emerge victorias from this battle.

"Victory will be for the Palestinian Resistance, who is fighting day and night against Zionists. The land belongs to the Resistors who are capable of destroying the occupation's tanks," he said.

"The walls behind which the occupation's soldiers hide will not help them, and the Resistors are preparing many surprises for them."

The top General emphasized that the United States and the Israeli entity would not see victory in this war.

"Palestine will triumph in this war, a certainty, and neither Hamas nor Jihad will ever collapse. They are part of the Palestinian people's fabric, and their fighters will turn Gaza into a quagmire for the enemy, and we hope for their decisive victory. The United States and Israel have no hope of victory, and we will witness a clear conquest by the Palestinian Resistance fighters."

Various Iranian provinces and cities witnessed on Saturday massive demonstrations in solidarity with the children of Gaza and the besieged Palestinian people in the Strip.

Hunting down IOF

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported earlier today that intense confrontations ensued between Palestinian Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces in Beit Hanoun, which has become a war zone with Resistance operations carried out from point-blank range.

Resistance fighters were capable of hunting down several IOF soldiers in the city, he added, noting that the occupation forces were surprised to have underestimated the Resistance's firepower, especially along the north-western axis.

Operations against Israeli forces aren't only taking place inside the cities, but also from behind enemy lines along the borders of Gaza, and even from within the invaders' formations.

Tank drain continues

Meanwhile, Abu Obeida revealed on Friday that 62 Israeli military vehicles had been destroyed in four days, including the flagship Israeli Merkava tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and bulldozers, using al-Yassin 105 tandem anti-tank RPGs and IEDs.

The Resistance group used improvised explosive devices, small arms, and sniper rifles to target gatherings of Israeli soldiers or infantry forces shielding themselves in residential buildings.

Moreover, Al-Qassam fighters killed at least nine Israeli soldiers who were outside their IFVs in two separate operations that took place three days ago, the spokesperson revealed.
