On Friday, the Al-Qassam Brigades released striking footage of operations carried out using explosive devices and mortar shells against Israeli occupation forces at several locations in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.
The video shows Qassam fighters planting barrel-shaped explosive devices at a site where occupation military vehicles had been stationed in the “Batn al-Samin” area, southwest of Khan Yunis.
Additionally, the Qassam Brigades shelled enemy troop gatherings along various axes of incursion in the city using short-range “Rajoum” missiles and mortars of different calibres.
These operations come as part of the broader response by Palestinian resistance factions to the ongoing genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip—backed militarily and politically by the United States—since October 2023. The war has involved mass killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, all in open defiance of international calls and binding rulings from the International Court of Justice demanding a halt to these crimes.
The occupation state typically imposes strict censorship on reporting casualties in Gaza, deliberately concealing the true extent of its losses in terms of dead and wounded soldiers.
