The Al-Qassam Brigades' official spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, said that over the previous three days, the Al-Qassam Mujahideen had destroyed 60 Zionist military vehicles, including ten troop carriers.

"The fighting is still ongoing," Abu Ubaida said in a recorded statement on successful Qassam Mujahideen operations that resulted in the death of a number of occupation soldiers.

The Al-Qassam Brigades' official spokesperson said in some of these operations, the fighters heard the occupation soldiers' screams before they were killed.

He believed the "occupation aircraft bombed their forces on the ground, thinking that a number of their soldiers had been captured."
