Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson of Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance movement, Hamas, issued a new statement. 

The Palestinian commander said that Israel is lying about the actual number of its casualties and promised to make Gaza a ‘curse’ that haunts Israel forever. 

These are excerpts from Abu Obedia’s statement, as provided by the Resistance News Network channel on Telegram. 

Abu Obeida: 

“27 days after the start of Al-Aqsa Flood, our fighters continue to confront the occupation forces in northwest Gaza, the south, and in Beit Hanoun, executing successful attacks against the occupation’s vehicles and soldiers.

“We can hardly count our fighters’ operations… In the last 48 hours, our fighters have destroyed what amounts to a battalion of tanks and killed and injured a large number of the occupation forces’ soldiers, using anti-tank weapons, direct clashes, and drones.

“We carried out a major counterattack this evening on the northwest axis of Gaza City, destroying six tanks, two troop carriers, and a bulldozer.

“The number of the enemy’s dead is much higher than what the enemy command is announcing.

“We managed to encircle behind enemy lines and attack them from point blank.

“The Namer troop carrier, which the occupation army promoted as the most fortified vehicle in the world, failed in its first test against our shells.

“To the occupation leadership: Await more of your soldiers returning in black bags. We will make Gaza a curse upon you as it has always been.

“We feel proud when the enemy forces boast about breaching axes in the Gaza Strip, as if they are breaching the axes of a great power.

“Our pain for the loss and martyrdom of thousands of our people will increase our determination and vigor to make the enemy pay a high price.”
