The spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas movement, Abu Ubaida, announced on Sunday that members of the brigades were able to capture Israeli occupation army soldiers during an operation in the Gaza Strip.
Abu Ubaida said, in a televised speech, that Al-Qassam fighters ‘carried out a complex operation yesterday afternoon, Saturday, in the northern Gaza Strip, where they lured a Zionist force into one of the tunnels in the Jabalia camp.’
He added that Al-Qassam fighters “trapped this force in an ambush inside the tunnel and at its entrance, and were able to engage its members from zero distance.”
Abu Ubaida explained that when a support force arrived, Al-Qassam members attacked this force with explosive devices, stressing that they “killed, wounded, and captured all members of the force, and seized its military equipment.”
Abu Ubaida’s speech included video scenes showing the removal of one of the bodies of those killed by the Israeli occupation army, who were detained in the operati
on inside a tunnel, in addition to a number of machine guns, helmets, and military clothing, pointing out that this was ‘what was allowed to be published.’
In his speech, Abu Ubaida said, ‘The enemy government continues its blind and absurd policy of revenge and destruction and moves from failure to failure, the last of which was in the Jabalia camp and the city of Rafah’ in the southern Gaza Strip.
He added that their fighters ‘continue to teach the occupation lessons on the battlefields.’
Abu Ubaida pointed out that they ‘carried out dozens of operations against enemy forces over a period of more than two weeks in Rafah, Jabalia, and the city of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.’
He pointed out that ‘the enemy army is marketing the exhumation of the remains as a military and moral achievement.’ Abu Ubaida considered that ‘the occupation forces are digging up the remains of their captives for the sake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal accounts.’
