Press TV – Nov 21, 2023
The military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says its fighters have destroyed as many as 60 Israeli military vehicles over the last three days amid the regime’s unrelenting aggression against the Gaza Strip.
Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, provided the information on Monday, saying the targeted vehicles included at least 10 armored personnel carriers.
“Our fighters targeted an [Israeli] infantry force with an anti-personnel projectile on Saturday, causing significant injuries,” he said, adding that resistance fighters heard the screams of the enemy soldiers who cried for help.
The spokesman, meanwhile, reported that the al-Qassam Brigades inflicted “fatalities and injuries” on Israeli forces in “several qualitative operations,” which were carried out during the same period.
‘Israel eliminating traces of failure’
According to the al-Qassam’s spokesman, “When the [Israeli] enemy is unable to tow its damaged vehicles, it resorts to bombing them from the air to erase the traces of its failure.”
“The enemy may have bombed its own forces on the ground, thinking they were captured in the Rantisi Hospital operation,” Abu Ubaida said, referring to an attack by Palestinian resistance fighters targeting Israeli forces at the hospital.
“A force of elite [resistance] fighters, consisting of 25 members, carried out a composite attack on the enemy forces at Rantisi Hospital, which the enemy [has] turned into a base after evacuating it of patients,” he noted.
According to Palestinian media, soon after Abu Ubaida’s announcement, resistance groups fired a massive volley of rockets towards Israeli targets, including in the coastal city of Tel Aviv and other areas in the center of the occupied territories, describing it as one of the largest rocket barrages against Israel since the beginning of the regime’s war on Gaza.
Following the rocket attack, sirens sounded over a wide area across the occupied territories extending from Ashdod in the south to Herzliya in the north.
Palestinian fighters have been engaged in defensive operations against Israeli forces since October 7. On that day, Israel launched an all-out war against the besieged Gaza Strip in response to an operation carried out by the territory’s resistance groups. At least 13,300 Palestinians have been killed since the onset of the Israeli military aggression, including upwards of 5,600 children.
Netanyahu obviously envisaged another blitzkrieg a la 1967, but times have changed. The IDF were never going to have an easy victory against Hamas fighters, fanatical warriors that they are. Their situation has significantly worsened with the onset of the ‘tunnel wars’. We now see striking similarities with von Paulus’ 6th Army who speedily stormed their hubris-laden way to the Volga and then got a very nasty wake-up call when the Stalingrad ‘kesselschlacht’ got underway. We all know how that ended. I foresee a significant butcher’s bill coming Netty’s way; that in itself will contribute much to his own downfall.
sorry as long there are Likud fanatics I dont
see any downfall of Satanjahu, IDF+ Mossad !
Fanatical Likud…… victims of CPS.*
CPS = Chosen People Syndrome
Just my view : The Oct 7th massacre was allowed to happen ( aided by the 6 to 7 hr. Delay by the full IDF response which should have taken 10 to 15 minutes ) to allow for a sufficient Israeli casualty count to ignite the Israeli population as well as the world to go all out on the Gaza Strip using Hamas as the excuse ……the ultimate aim was to clear out the Gaza from the Palestinians for greater Israel. A cleared Gaza will give the Likud an uninterrupted access to the energy sources. The planned Ben Gurian tunnel would be expected in the works as well as the gas / oil exploration rights already given/ sold to BP and Eni and 4 other companies as outlined in Reuters ( Oct 30 report )
