ALBAWABA - Moments before an Israeli raid, Al Jazeera has received unique video showing members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military arm, inside a Gaza tunnel. They are seen prepping and detonating the tunnel.
In the video, Israeli troops who were the target of a booby-trapped ambush in Gaza saw Al-Qassam terrorists taking guns and equipment from them. The exclusive photos that Al Jazeera has access to provide a rare window into the strategies that terrorists use to oppose Israeli soldiers.
The video shows Al-Qassam militants using "glove" bombs, a weapon that was originally used during Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa. The information provided by Al Jazeera illuminates the tactics and weapons that Palestinian terrorists have been using throughout the war.
The constructed tunnel seems like it was made with Israeli forces in mind, suggesting that Al-Qassam militants are taking a deliberate risk to harm the enemy. The depth and complexity of the continuing struggle in Gaza are highlighted by Al Jazeera's reportage.
As the Israeli assault on Gaza enters its seventh month, Al-Qassam Brigades are turning more and more to ambush tactics, demonstrating their flexibility in response to shifting conditions on the ground. The tenacity and tactical skill of Hamas militants in opposing Israeli troops are emphasised by Al Jazeera's reportage.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, a senior Al-Qassam Brigades commander underlined the careful preparation and information needed to carry out successful ambushes. The interviews conducted by Al Jazeera provide insightful information about the operational plans and techniques used by Palestinian terrorists to oppose Israeli troops.
The creation of the "glove" bomb, made public a few weeks ago by Al-Qassam Brigades, highlights the continuous creativity and adaptability of terrorist organisations in Gaza. The reportage from Al Jazeera illuminates how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is shaped by the ongoing changes in weapons and strategies in the conflict zone.
