The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement says its fighters have killed at least 20 Israeli soldiers in northern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip in just two days, in retaliation for the occupying regime’s genocide.
In a statement on Monday evening, Hamas said that fighters of its military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, “killed at least five occupation soldiers” in northern parts of the coastal territory earlier in the day, Press TV reported.
Hamas fighters also killed 15 Israeli soldiers in the war-ravaged region on Sunday, it added.
Meanwhile, Times of Israel reported that four soldiers were killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Tuesday, bringing the total toll from the previous day to five.
The soldiers all served with the Kfir Brigade’s Shimshon Battalion.
The resistance movement’s “qualitative operation … confirms once again the failure of the Zionist entity to suppress and eradicate Hamas, which continues to direct qualitative strikes against its terrorist soldiers,” Hamas said on its Telegram channel.
Palestinians have increased their resistance operations in the face of intensified Israeli aggression in northern Gaza that has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 over the past weeks.
Hamas also vowed that Israel’s ongoing crimes and aggression against Gaza would be met with increased resistance and painful strikes, which will continue until the aggression against Palestinians ends and the regime fully withdraws from the blockaded territory.
According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, Israeli attacks have killed at least 43,603 Palestinians and wounded 102,929 others.
