"The military spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, has affirmed that after 27 days of the war on Gaza, the Resistance fighters continue to stand their ground against the invading Israeli forces across the Strip's frontlines.
In a speech recording, Abu Obeida revealed that, in just the past 48 hours, al-Qassam's fighters destroyed almost an entire tank battalion and led to a substantial number of casualties among the Israeli occupation soldiers.
However, he further highlighted a more recent achievement, announcing that, in a counteroffensive in the northwestern region of Gaza City, the Resistance was able in the past few hours to destroy 6 tanks, two armored personnel carriers, and one military bulldozer.
On the Israeli losses, the spokesperson underscored that the occupation's leadership has been misleading Israeli settlers regarding the actual casualty figures, which are considerably higher than the official announcements.
Abu Obeida asserted the Resistance's commitment to making Gaza a perpetual curse upon the Zionist entity, warning that invading forces would not make it out alive.
Moreover, he emphasized that the occupation's brutal massacres will not weaken the Resistance or its morale and will rather only fortify the resolve and strength of the Palestinian Resistance to exact a heavy price from the entity and its invading forces. Abu Obeida also praised the unwavering spirit of the people of Gaza and their resolute defense of their homeland."
Tanks in Gaza. What absolute morons. The IOF are going to learn a costly lesson, this could really cause something like a coup.
Tanks is the only thing they can do, soldiers don't want to be sent to Gaza so they give them the illusion of safety behind armor.
Saw the video that Hamas published recently of one of their fighters ambushing two Merkavas without a single IOF infantryman in sight. It's extremely unlikely that the tanks outran the infantry in a place like Gaza, so it's got to be either incompetence or cowardly infantry refusing to cover the tanks.
Apparently their doctrine is not to send infantry along the tanks
This is what happens when you write doctrine assuming your opponents are children with rocks.
Nowhere better for a tank than a dense urban center with narrow streets, tight corners, and countless spots suitable for close-range ambushes
thats why theyre leveling the whole place with nulldozers. remove all cover, all trees, everything
