‘No Victory’: Al-Qassam Rattles Netanyahu in Rafah

Just type Rafah on the X platform and you see videoclips of a tank being blown up by members of the Al Qassam Brigade. The action, being made in the devastation of Rafah by the Israeli army is trending.

Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that scenes of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas military wing, in Rafah, south Gaza Strip, spoiled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “victory speech” on the 7 October anniversary.

Al-Duwairi explained on Al-Jazeera the scenes of Al-Qassam in the Al-Tanour neighborhood, east of Rafah, represent “an answer to Netanyahu’s arrogance and superiority, which he began to lose on Tuesday evening,” referring to the Iranian attack on Israel and the losses of the Israeli army in southern Lebanon.

He pointed out Netanyahu was preparing a “victory speech on the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood,” but the scenes of targeting Israeli vehicles, including two armored personnel carriers, east of Rafah carried several messages.

The military expert said among those messages was that the Al Qassam Rafah Brigade “is still fighting and has not been dismantled as Israel claims.”

Al Jazeera broadcast exclusive footage of the battles between the Qassam Brigades and the occupation army east of the city of Rafah, which included targeting four military vehicles with “Al-Yassin 105” anti-tank shells.

According to Al-Duwairi, the new scenes are a message to the Israelis that “the resistance is still present after a year despite all the massacres and atrocities committed by the occupation army.” He woundered: “If this is the case in besieged Gaza, what will be the situation on the northern front?”

The video, according to the military expert, carried a message to Hezbollah that: “You have eight times more manpower than Qassam, and nine times more military hardware than Qassam, so how long can you hold out after the resistance in Gaza held out for a year?”

The Qassam Brigades in Gaza have been documenting their operations against the occupation army forces and their vehicles on various combat fronts since the start of the Israeli ground operation on 27 October, 2023, and many details about the operations carried out against the occupation forces appeared in the video clips.

It also set up successful ambushes against the occupation army, inflicting heavy human losses on it, in addition to destroying and damaging hundreds of Israeli military vehicles.
