Joint operations between Resistance groups in Gaza are becoming a regular occurrence where the Resistance seems to have adapted to a long-term battle against Israeli occupation forces.
The Al-Quds Brigades broadcast footage it said was of its fighters, together with the Al-Qassam Brigades, targeting an Israeli tank in the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The group indicated that its fighters and Qassam fighters targeted a tank type “Merkava Paz” at the junction of Abu Ayyash in the neighborhood of Tel Al-Sultan.
The footage showed two fighters preparing to blow up the Israeli tank while seeking each other’s permission to whom will press the button.
“Let me blow up, Habibi .. I ask you by God Almighty,” one of the fighters asked.
The other implores him to be the one who blows up the tanks. In the end, they agree to press the button together.
