Al-Quds Brigades Targets Israeli Vehicles in Jabalia
On October 24, 2024, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, released footage showcasing their fighters engaging Israeli forces amid intense clashes in the northern Gaza Strip. The video highlights a successful operation where Al-Quds Brigades targeted a gathering of Israeli military vehicles with anti-tank shells, resulting in visible damage and smoke as the vehicles caught fire.
In the footage, one fighter expressed their readiness to confront the Israeli forces, stating, 'We are waiting for the enemy and, God willing, we will show him what will heal the hearts of a believing people,' while referring to Jabalia camp as a symbol of steadfastness. The video also depicted the sniping of an Israeli soldier, emphasizing the ongoing hostilities in the region.
The Al-Quds Brigades reported prior incidents where they targeted Israeli military vehicles with tandem shells, indicating a strategic escalation in their operations. This follows the Israeli military's announcement on October 6 regarding a new operation aimed at curbing the influence of Hamas in the area. Military analysts suggest that Israel's strategy involves encircling the population in northern Gaza and enforcing a 'closed military zone' to control the situation.
Since the commencement of the Israeli ground operation on October 27, 2023, resistance factions in Gaza have been actively documenting their encounters with Israeli forces, showcasing their tactical ambushes and the significant losses inflicted on the Israeli military.
