The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced on Sunday that they had carried out a complex, high-level operation targeting Israeli forces east of the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in Gaza City, resulting in confirmed Israeli casualties.
“We carried out a complex and qualitative operation targeting a group of officers and soldiers east of the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in Gaza City. The operation began by luring enemy forces by targeting an armored vehicle with an anti-tank missile, resulting in injuries among its crew of officers and soldiers,” a field commander in Al-Quds Bridges said in a statement on Sunday.
He added, ” Minutes later, the Zionist enemy targeted a specific area at the scene of the operation with rockets and missiles. A rescue force from the Occupation Reserve Brigade arrived to aid the targeted force, which was also ambushed by a pre-positioned “Thaqib” explosive device, killing and wounding several “Israeli” soldiers.”
“Our fighters engaged and confronted the support forces inside the operation zone using medium and light weapons. During the withdrawal of the fighters, a number of them were martyred.”
This operation stems from our belief in the necessity of fighting the Zionist enemy as long as its aggression continues, he underlined.
The commander also said that this operation dedicated to the spirit of the great martyr commander Nour Abdel-Karim Al-Bitawi, one of the prominent military leaders of Al-Quds Brigades in the West Bank.
