ALBAWABA – The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, released new video footage Sunday showing its fighters launching coordinated attacks on Israeli forces and vehicles positioned in the Netzarim corridor in Gaza. The group also announced it had captured two Israeli drones during the operation.
The video documents targeted strikes on Israeli troop deployment and supply routes in the eastern part of the Netzarim axis, a key corridor dividing northern Gaza from its central and southern areas. The Brigades used short-range 107mm rockets in their assault, claiming direct hits on Israeli forces.
In a symbolic gesture, footage shows the seized drones displayed in front of an image of Brigadier General Mohammad Saeed Izadi, the Iranian Quds Force official for Palestinian affairs, who was assassinated by Israel during the recent escalation.
The fighters also confiscated Israeli military gear, including explosive devices and live ammunition, according to the footage.
The release comes as part of a series of recent video publications by Al-Quds Brigades, documenting intensified resistance operations in both northern and southern Gaza. The group claims to have inflicted heavy losses on Israeli forces through ambushes, homemade explosive devices, and direct engagements since Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18.
Israeli media confirmed continued losses. According to Army Radio, 30 Israeli soldiers and officers have been killed since March, 21 of them by roadside bombs. Haaretz reported that 20 soldiers were killed in Gaza in the past 29 days alone.
Since the launch of Israel's ground offensive in late October 2023, Palestinian factions have focused on guerrilla tactics, including ambushes, tunnel warfare, and rocket barrages. These efforts have not only slowed Israeli advances but have also resulted in the destruction and disabling of numerous military vehicles.
Rocket fire from Gaza into Israeli cities and settlements continues, as resistance groups emphasize their ability to maintain operational pressure across multiple fronts amid the ongoing war.
