The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), released footage on Wednesday showing its fighters striking Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles inside Gaza City. Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, announced the execution of a “special operation.”
According to Al-Qassam, the strikes came as part of Operation “Moses’ Staff”, launched in response to Israel’s “Chariots of Gideon 2” campaign to occupy Gaza City.
The footage included a precise sniper shot that directly hit an occupation soldier, causing him to collapse instantly. It also showed anti-armour “Yassin 105” rockets being fired at several Israeli military vehicles, as well as mortar shells launched from multiple positions against Israeli gatherings inside the city.
In parallel, the Al-Quds Brigades announced that its fighters had carried out a “qualitative operation”, detonating a house in Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighbourhood that had been pre-rigged with locally manufactured explosives and repurposed Israeli ordnance engineered in reverse.
Through their Telegram channel, the Brigades confirmed the house was blown up at the moment an Israeli engineering unit entered to prepare it for demolition. A “Hudhud” drone was used to monitor and document the Israeli force’s entry before the detonation.
The statement stressed that the explosion left no survivors: all those inside were either killed or went missing, with no soldiers emerging alive or even wounded. In response, the Israeli army launched unprecedented, heavy airstrikes around the site of the blast.
The Brigades also announced that its fighters shelled two Israeli settlements in the Gaza envelope with a salvo of rockets, in retaliation for ongoing Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
Earlier the same day, Israeli Defence Minister Yisrael Katz claimed that the army had tightened its siege of Gaza City after completing control over the Netzarim corridor, which bisects the Strip north-to-south.
On 21 September, the occupation army declared it was deepening its ground operations in Gaza City as part of a gradual takeover plan launched on 11 August. The campaign has included multiple ground incursions across different axes.
Since Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza on 27 October 2023, resistance factions have consistently documented their attacks on occupation soldiers and vehicles, successfully setting ambushes that inflicted heavy casualties, destroying or disabling hundreds of military vehicles, and striking Israeli cities and settlements with medium- and long-range rockets.
