Al-Quds Brigades Target Israeli Military Headquarters in Jabalia
On December 16, 2024, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, released footage showcasing their recent operation against the Israeli military in Jabalia camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip. The video depicted the precise targeting of an Israeli command and control headquarters using mortar shells, highlighting the ongoing conflict in the region. The operation was described by the brigades as an "artillery fortification," emphasizing their strategic approach to combat.
The footage captured the moment mortar shells struck the area where Israeli forces and vehicles were gathered, with one fighter declaring, "The world is on fire," suggesting significant success in the operation. Israeli media characterized the clashes in Jabalia and nearby Beit Lahia camps as "fierce and difficult," with Channel 13 predicting that the Israeli ground operation in northern Gaza would persist for several more weeks. This escalation follows the Israeli military's announcement on October 6, 2023, of a new operation aimed at curbing the strength of Hamas and other resistance factions in the region.
Since the initiation of the ground operation on October 27, 2023, resistance factions in Gaza have actively documented their engagements with Israeli forces, showcasing various operations that have resulted in heavy casualties and damage to military vehicles.
