“They (Resistance’s forces) also targeted Zionist forces and vehicles entrenched in their positions with anti-armor shells and anti-personnel explosives, clashed with them at point-blank range,” the official said on Friday.
The confrontation, he added, had resulted in “inflicting confirmed deaths and injuries” among the enemy’s ranks.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Abu Ubaida confirmed the complete or partial destruction of as many as 21 Israeli military vehicles across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.
Abu Ubaida went on to say that the Resistance had managed to thwart an attempt by the Israeli military to rescue a captive soldier, which he named Saar Baruch. The enemy operation resulted in Baruch’s death as well as the death and injury of several other captives “due to the barbaric bombing of Gaza areas,” he added.
A day earlier, al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for killing Master Sergeant Gal Meer Eizenkot, son of Gadi Eizenkot, who is a current Israeli war cabinet minister and former chief of staff of the occupying regime.
