The spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, confirmed that after 42 days since the onset of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, fighters have managed to impair 62 Israeli military vehicles. He stated, "The fighters managed to eliminate 9 Israelis outside their vehicles. A apartment in Beit Hanoun, where soldiers were holed up, was destroyed, resulting in the death and injury of all those who were inside."
He praised "the powerful hands of our nation's fighters and called on them to escalate painful strikes that make the enemy realize it is fighting a united nation. We have prepared ourselves for a long defense, and every moment of occupation in Gaza increases its losses. What Netanyahu is looking for in the Shifa complex is absurd, and storming the hospital with tanks is ridiculous."
Regarding the exchange deal, he said, "We are struggling to preserve the lives of the prisoners, but the brutal bombing is affecting them." He added, "We tell the enemy population that the number of soldiers killed is much higher than what you anticipate and declare."
