An Israeli occupation soldier was killed and 13 others were injured in a shooting operation, conducted in occupied Beer al-Sabe, in southern occupied Palestine, on Sunday.

Israeli media outlets reported that a Palestinian man, Ahmad Said al-Aaqbi, from the town of Hura, in occupied Beer al-Sabe, conducted the operation using both a knife and pistol.

Al-Aaqbi was martyred after being shot by Israeli occupation forces at a bus station.

Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 pointed to the complexities of the operation, which was conducted at three different points in the central bus station.

Although the Israeli regime has fully mobilized its intelligence agencies to prevent such incidents, Israeli media reported that occupation police forces had not received any prior warning about it.

Palestinian Resistance factions underlined the importance of the operation, saying that it was a natural response to the continued Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.

Al-Mujahideen Movement asserted that the operation was a "blow to the enemy's" security and intelligence apparatus. It said that the Israeli regime should prepare itself and expect further top-tier operations from the Palestinian people and their Resistance.

The Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees said that revolutionaries in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran "do not abandon their sacred vengeance and duty to their martyrs and leaders, foremost among them the martyrs Ismail Haniyeh and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah."

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) echoed the previously mentioned statements, saying that the next stages will be "more painful" for the criminal Israeli regime.

Striking occupiers in Tel Aviv

It is worth noting that on October 1, 2024, two al-Qassam Brigades fighters conducted another complex operation in the heart of the occupying regime, Tel Aviv.

In a statement, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement claimed responsibility for the shooting operation in Tel Aviv, which killed seven Israeli settlers and wounded 16 others, some of whom are in critical condition.

Al-Qassam revealed that the operation was carried out by its fighters, Mohammed Rashid Mesk and Ahmed Abdul Fattah al-Haimouni, both from the city of al-Khalil, in the occupied West Bank.

The operation occurred amid heightened security measures by the Israeli occupation forces due to strikes from the various support fronts backing the Palestinian Resistance against the Israeli aggression on Gaza. This includes the major missile attack conducted by Iran as part of Operation True Promise 2 on Tuesday, which was in response to heightened Israeli criminality and the assassination of Resistance leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, as well as IRGC General Abbas Nilforooshian.

According to the statement, al-Qassam fighters infiltrated the occupied territories, stabbed an Israeli soldier, and seized his automatic rifle. They then carried out the operation in two different locations in the heart of Tel Aviv, one of which was a train station. The statement described how the fighters executed the attack at point-blank range, killing several settlers on-site.

Just after the operation was conducted, at least 200 missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli military targets in occupied Palestine, concluding a day where several factions in the Axis of Resistance struck the largest Israeli metropolitan area.
