This comes as Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to carry out operations and ambushes against Israeli forces across multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip, inflicting both human and material losses on the occupation.

Meanwhile, in a video statement on Friday, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida emphasized that their current strategy focuses on dealing heavy casualties to the Israeli occupation forces and capturing soldiers.

In a video statement on Friday, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, emphasized that the Palestinian Resistance's strategic priority at this stage is to maximize enemy casualties while simultaneously working to capture Israeli soldiers, as the conflict continues across multiple fronts in Gaza.

Abu Obeida emphasized that al-Qassam's fighters continue to outmaneuver the enemy with innovative tactics, applying lessons learned from what has become the longest and most grueling war in Palestinian history.

He issued a stark warning to the Israeli government, stating that its refusal to end hostilities would only result in more military casualties, with an unrelenting procession of soldiers' and officers' coffins returning home.
