The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has released a provocative video clip featuring the attackers involved in the Gush Etzion and Karmi Tzur operations from August 2024. The footage highlights Jaafar Muna, who is depicted preparing for the Karmi Tzur attack while in Tel Aviv. In a message captured in the video, Muna expresses his commitment to the resistance, stating, 'The flame of resistance will not be extinguished until we drive you away from our land and homes with honor or humiliation.' He warns that the violence initiated by Israeli forces will lead to dire consequences for their families and military.
Additionally, the video showcases a statement from another attacker involved in the Gush Etzion operation, whose identity was concealed. This individual declares his readiness to sacrifice for God and threatens that ongoing aggression against Palestinians will escalate retaliation. He emphasizes the plight of Palestinian prisoners, particularly women, and asserts that the violence in Gaza will lead to further martyrdom operations targeting Israel. The video also references previous attacks on Israel, including notable operations from the 1990s and early 2000s, underscoring a continued narrative of resistance against perceived oppression.
