00:00Israel has been showing signs of increasing weakness recently.
00:25In the latest development, the Al-Qassam Brigade successfully eliminated a key IDF commander,
00:32specifically Colonel Ahsan Daksa, who led the 401st Brigade.
00:38It wasn't just the commander who met his end.
00:41Several other members of his group were also injured, with three of them losing their lives.
00:47This incident is a major blow to Israel's military operations.
00:52Both Colonel Ahsan and his comrades were killed after an explosive device completely destroyed
00:58the Merkava tank they were riding in near Jabalia, right before they could initiate
01:03yet another round of genocidal attacks in the area.
01:07Ahsan Daksa was one of the most ruthless figures within the ranks of the IDF.
01:13His cruelty was not limited to killing innocent civilians through military force, but extended
01:18to a more insidious form of destruction.
01:22He orchestrated the deliberate targeting of critical infrastructure, such as ordering
01:26the destruction of the Canada Well, which provided 50% of the water supply to the Rafah
01:32Governorate in southern Gaza.
01:35This area, home to many displaced civilians, suffered greatly due to his actions, marking
01:41him as a figure of immense hatred.
01:45His cruelty knew no bounds.
01:47The Al-Qassam Brigades did not stop there.
01:50They continued their guerrilla operations in various defensive positions, demonstrating
01:55their relentless commitment to the cause and their ability to strike back at key targets
02:01despite the odds.
02:02On the one-year anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubaidah delivered
02:09a strong message.
02:11He made it clear that despite the many hardships they have faced, including the deaths of prominent
02:17resistance leaders and the genocidal acts committed against their people, Hamas remains
02:22unwavering.
02:24The core message was that their struggle for Palestinian independence and freedom will
02:28never die, no matter the challenges.
02:32To mark the anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military
02:37wing of Hamas, launched a rocket attack aimed at Tel Aviv.
02:43The rockets, fired from the Khan Yunis area in Gaza, successfully injured two Israeli
02:48settlers and caused widespread panic at Ben Gurion Airport, showing that the resistance
02:54is still capable of striking at the heart of Israel's urban centers.
02:59This rocket attack understandably infuriated Israel, and it didn't take long for them
03:05to respond with significant force.
03:08Israel launched a retaliatory strike on more than 30 Hamas targets, while also ramping
03:13up their ground operations.
03:16These actions led to fierce, intense clashes between the two sides, further worsening the
03:22already catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, making the situation even more desperate
03:29for the people living there.
03:31Amid the escalating tensions following the one-year anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa
03:36Storm, the Al-Qassam Brigades have significantly ramped up their attacks in the Gaza region,
03:43which is currently occupied by Israeli military forces.
03:47In recent days, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched a coordinated assault targeting the Israeli
03:52Defense Forces' military logistics convoys in the Jabalia camp area, located within Gaza.
04:00Their offensive utilized multiple phases of guerrilla warfare tactics, including the use
04:06of improvised explosive devices to destroy Israeli troops and armored vehicles operating
04:12in the region.
04:13Technically, the Al-Qassam Brigades set up IEDs along the roads used by Israeli logistics
04:19convoys and reinforcement routes.
04:22This caused significant disruption to the movement of IDF troops and supplies, hindering
04:28their operations in the area.
04:31In addition to these tactics, Al-Qassam fighters also engaged Israeli forces in open areas
04:37around Jabalia camp.
04:39These attacks specifically targeted Israeli tanks, utilizing their anti-tank rocket launchers
04:46to deal maximum damage.
04:48Furthermore, in the western part of Jabalia camp, near the Saftawi intersection, the Al-Qassam
04:55forces successfully lured Israeli special forces into a location that had been previously
05:02rigged with explosives.
05:04This ambush tactic proved highly effective in drawing the enemy into a vulnerable position.
05:10From the information available, the Al-Qassam Brigades' assault on the IDF forces in Jabalia
05:16camp resulted in Israel's authorities initiating medical evacuations for their injured troops.
05:24This fact highlights that Al-Qassam's attacks were able to inflict considerable harm on
05:29the IDF soldiers stationed there.
05:32In addition to their strikes in Jabalia, the Al-Qassam Brigades carried out complex, well-coordinated
05:38attacks in the eastern area of Rafah city.
05:42Here, they executed a deadly ambush on an Israeli infantry company, using tunnels rigged
05:48with explosives to target Israeli troops stationed east of Rafah.
05:53The ongoing conflict between Israel and the Al-Qassam Brigades in the Gaza Strip continues
05:59to intensify.
06:01The situation has grown so heated that it has led to the death of a key Hamas leader,
06:06Yahya Sinwar, marking a significant escalation in the violence.
06:11Yahya Sinwar was the leader of Hamas' resistance forces, appointed to the role after the death
06:18of Ismail Haniyeh, the former Hamas leader who was killed on July 31 in Tehran, Iran.
06:25Yahya Sinwar's death was confirmed during the heated conflict between the Al-Qassam
06:30Brigades and Israeli defense forces in Gaza on October 16, 2024.
06:36Sinwar, who was widely believed to be the mastermind behind Operation Al-Aqsa Storm,
06:42met his end in a building targeted by Israeli bombing.
06:46His execution has dealt a significant blow to the Hamas leadership.
06:51What was his significance in the Palestinian fight for freedom?
06:56Throughout his life, Yahya Sinwar was deeply involved in the conflict that has plagued
07:00Gaza.
07:02Before rising to the leadership of Hamas, the man born in 1962 had consistently fought
07:08for Palestinian independence.
07:11Born as a refugee in Khan Yunis, Sinwar spent much of his life opposing Israeli rule, which
07:17resulted in numerous imprisonments.
07:20In 1988, he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of planning the murders
07:26of two Israeli soldiers and the deaths of 12 Palestinians who were accused of being
07:32collaborators.
07:33However, after spending 22 years behind bars, he was released as part of a high-profile
07:40prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.
07:44The long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine has claimed countless lives
07:50over the years, especially among the Palestinian population.
07:54The sheer amount of bloodshed, along with the enduring spirit of resistance, continues
08:00to fuel the resolve of the Al-Qassam Brigades to fight back.
08:05Despite their ongoing struggle, the cost of Palestinian independence has remained
08:10tragically high.
08:11Throughout their fight, Palestine has suffered enormous losses, with tens of thousands of
08:17Palestinians, including women and children, killed as casualties of the war.
08:23Israel's relentless and indiscriminate assaults on Gaza have also led to the deaths of many
08:29journalists.
08:30Over the past year, the conflict in Gaza has caused a particularly alarming number of deaths
08:36among media workers, making it one of the deadliest years for journalists in more than
08:4130 years, highlighting the growing dangers faced by those reporting in war zones.
08:48As a result of the mounting civilian casualties in Gaza, particularly after Israel's most
08:54recent attack on the refugee camp at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where numerous innocent
09:00civilians were brutally killed, the international community has begun to react strongly.
09:06This tragic event has sparked outrage globally.
09:10In this instance, both Ireland and Spain have called on European Union countries to suspend
09:16their free trade agreements with Israel in response to what they are calling the genocide
09:21committed by the IDF in Gaza.
09:24By halting free trade agreements and imposing an arms embargo on Israel, these countries
09:29hope to apply political and economic pressure on the Israeli government in the hopes of
09:35prompting a shift in policy or a cessation of the attacks on Gaza.
09:40In fact, during discussions in the Spanish Parliament, lawmakers went as far as to compare
09:45Israel's actions in Gaza to the atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II,
09:52underscoring the severity of the accusations.
09:55Similarly, some members of the U.S. Congress have begun to voice concerns over what they
10:00describe as genocide in Gaza, deeming Israel's actions intolerable.
10:07Congresswoman Cori Bush, for example, took to her ex-account, calling for an immediate
10:12halt to the genocide and urging for a swift imposition of an arms embargo on Israel.
10:26Earlier, Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, carried out an ambush on an Israeli
10:32Defense Forces construction vehicle operating in Rafah.
10:36According to widespread reports, al-Qassam fighters attacked the IDF construction vehicle
10:42using an improvised explosive device.
10:46As a result of the ambush, the IDF personnel operating the vehicle were forced to halt
10:51their operations and retreat from Rafah.
10:56In another recorded incident, the al-Qassam Brigades launched an ambush in the Khan Yunus
11:02area.
11:03According to sources, they used an RPG-7 in combination with Yasen warheads and Tandem-85
11:11explosives.
11:12The attack successfully destroyed an IDF D-9 bulldozer, along with other military vehicles,
11:21further disrupting Israeli military operations in the area.
11:33It must be acknowledged that the military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, has
11:38proven to be highly skilled when it comes to ambush tactics.
11:42Their success is partly due to their use of surveillance cameras.
11:47As shown in this video, in the footage, al-Qassam had been monitoring the movements of the
11:52Israel Defense Forces in Jenin, located in the West Bank.
11:57Once the IDF soldiers entered the trap that had been set for them, the Hamas military
12:02wing launched an attack, resulting in several Israeli soldiers being carried away by their
12:08comrades to be airlifted by a rescue helicopter.
12:12The al-Qassam Brigades also shared footage of their ambush on an IDF Merkava tank and
12:18a D-9 bulldozer.
12:20However, before launching the ambush, al-Qassam's intelligence division first identified the
12:26route the tank and bulldozer would be traveling.
12:29Once the path was confirmed, the al-Qassam Brigades launched an attack on the Hamas
12:35Brigades first identified the route the tank and bulldozer would be traveling.
12:39Once the path was confirmed, al-Qassam forces were deployed to carry out the ambush.
12:45As the vehicles passed through, the forces attacked using RPG-7s.
12:50The attack was successful, significantly disrupting the IDF's ability to continue their operations in Gaza.
