FALCON POWERS – The military spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas”, said on Friday evening, 9 Dhul Qi’dah 1445 AH, corresponding to May 17, 2024, “The systematic terror, criminality and destruction is the constant strategy adopted by the enemy in Gaza, in the hope of breaking the will of our people and deterring our resistance from defending and confronting, but far, far from it, as we have threatened the enemy every time that wherever it aspires to record a victory or achievement, it will find us before it, and this is what has happened and is happening every day.”
Abu Obeidah added in a recorded speech, after 224 days since the start of the Sword of Al-Aqsa battle and the Nazi Zionist occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip: “Here is the enemy’s army, and in a continuous series of confusion and failure, it decided about ten days ago to start a new ground offensive on Rafah and the Zeitoun neighborhood south of Gaza City and on Jabalia in the north of the sector, thinking that they have become easy targets and deluding that if it burns the green and the dry for more than seven months, it will not find any significant resistance, but it enters hell again and faces a similar or stronger resistance than what it found on the first day of the ground offensive.”
He continued: “The enemy enters hell again and faces a similar or stronger resistance than what it found on the first day of the ground offensive, and our mujahideen teach it harsh lessons east of Rafah before it enters it and on its outskirts and after it penetrates it, and in the Zeitoun neighborhood, our mujahideen reap the heads of its officers and soldiers and bring down the highest announced military rank since the beginning of the ground war, and in the Jabalia camp and the city of Jabalia, the enemy tasted the might of our mujahideen and still does, with the deaths and injuries of its soldiers in bulk and the destruction and targeting of its vehicles.”
The military spokesman confirmed that the al-Qassam mujahideen were able to target a hundred different Zionist military vehicles, including tanks, carriers and bulldozers, in all battle axes within “ten days”, and that the enemy is counting its dead and wounded by the dozens in all areas of its incursion, and it can hardly stop retrieving its soldiers, declaring part of its losses, while what al-Qassam observes of the enemy’s losses is much greater.
He added: “The criminal enemy and its barbaric army are still trying to patch up their image since that day, but they only get more disgrace, shame and disfigurement, whether in the defeat of their army and its resounding failure before the might of our resistance and our people, or in their filthy, brutal image that has been shattered before the whole world, or in their true image as a foreign functional entity, which calls upon its lords and masters at every station to defend it.”
