Palestinian Resistance fighters executed yet another major ambush in the Jabalia refugee camp, one day after eliminating the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, and seriously wounding the commander of the Brigade’s 52nd Battalion.
Currently, the town of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip is being subject to an Israeli campaign of ethnic cleansing, which the Israeli regime describes as the “Generals’ Plan.”
This plan entails transforming the area into a closed military zone, by forcibly displacing all civilians from the area and subjecting the remaining civilians to starvation.
Armored and combat engineering units of the Israeli occupation forces, such as the 162nd Division’s 401st Brigade, play a crucial in executing the plan.
Al-Qassam destroys an entire Israeli armored force
On Monday, Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters executed a complex ambush, targeting an armored combat engineering Israeli force.
After monitoring the movement of two Israeli military-grade D9 bulldozers, accompanied by an armored personnel carrier and a tank, the al-Qassam fighters planned an ambush aimed at eliminating the force.
The two bulldozers were loaded with high explosive mines, usually used to level entire neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip.
As soon as the force reached the ambush point, one al-Qassam fighter fired an al-Yassin tandem rocket-propelled grenade at one of the D9 bulldozers, while another detonated a Shawaz explosively formed penetrator (EFP) into the other.
The attacks were caused by explosive-laden bulldozers to explode, destroying the entire force and killing and injuring the mobilized Israeli troops.
Moreover, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades detonated its Thaqeb-type EFP, targeting an Israeli military vehicle in western Jabalia.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades – al-A’moudi Brigade snipers were also able to shoot down an Israeli soldier at the eastern end of the Jabalia refugee camp.
On its part, the al-Mujahideen Brigades announced that its fighters fired an anti-armor shell at an Israeli Merkava tank, impacting it directly, in the western part of the Jabalia refugee camp.
In further details of Monday’s operations, sirens sounded in the city settlement of Sderot, located to the northeast of the Gaza Strip, at 5:10 pm (local time). Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said that they shelled an Israeli command and control center, located to the north of Gaza City, with mortar shells, in seperate operations.
As the world fails to stop the genocide of Palestinians in Jabalia, Resistance fighters continue to defend against Israeli plots, foiling plans to ethnically cleanse their people, despite limited capabilities.
