ALBAWABA - Al-Qassam Brigades release footage showing sniper attacks on Israeli troops in Gaza, highlighting ongoing ambushes from Beit Hanoun to Rafah. Also Read 61 killed in Israeli raids in 12 hours on Gaza
This clip was published on Saturday by the Al-Qassam Brigades, who are the military branch of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). The movie shows four Israeli troops and officers being shot down with Al-Ghoul rifles on Al-Awda Street, which is located east of Beit Hanoun, which is located east of the Gaza Strip.
The Brigades announced in a video clip that was aired on its official Telegram channel that its fighters carried out four double sniper strikes using Al-Ghoul rifles against Israeli commanders and troops at a freshly built location east of Beit Hanoun. The attacks were carried out at a construction site that had just been completed.
According to the information provided, its fighters attacked military assets using a number of armored personnel carriers (APCs) with a number of armored personnel carriers.
According to the tape, the sniper operations were a continuation of the "Breaking the Sword" ambush, in which Al-Qassam militants targeted Israeli commanders and troops at freshly erected positions east of Beit Hanoun. The ambush was carried out by Al-Qassam fighters. Furthermore, they attacked military equipment by using a number of armored personnel carriers against it.
Within a span of twenty-four hours, two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven others were injured in the Gaza Strip, according to reports that were published in Hebrew media on Friday. — Hanzala (@Hanzpal2) April 26, 2025
An RPG was shot at three troops in the Rafah district of Tel al-Sultan, according to Israeli Army Radio. One of the soldiers had significant injuries as a result of the attack.
The Qassam Brigades, for their part, said on Friday that its fighters were involved in fighting and carrying out well-planned ambushes against Israeli army troops that were advancing into the Gaza Strip. These ambushes were aimed at Israeli soldiers who were moving from the town of Beit Hanoun in the north to the city of Rafah in the south.
In a series of tweets on Telegram, Abu Obeida, a spokesperson for the Qassam Brigades, said that the members of the Brigades were continuing to "fight heroic battles, carry out well-planned ambushes, and lie in wait for enemy forces to inflict a certain massacre on them at the place, time, and method of their choosing."
Abu Obeida saw the bravery of Qassam fighters "on the ground from Beit Hanoun to Rafah as a source of pride, a military miracle, and a testament to all the youth and forces of the nation." He found this to be the case.

France, UK, Germany call for "immediate end" to war in Gaza
France, the United Kingdom, and Germany issued a joint call Friday for an 'immediate end to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,' demanding unrestricted aid access and a ceasefire, as civilian suffering under the ongoing "Israeli" blockade and bombardment intensifies. The statement followed a call between French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It urged "Israel" to allow essential humanitarian assistance into Gaza and condemned the ongoing deprivation of aid to the civilian population as 'unacceptable.' The leaders expressed readiness to 'take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political process that leads to lasting security and peace for "Israelis", Palestinians, and the entire region,' though they did not specify what actions might follow. The announcement came just a day after Macron said France would formally recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September, making it the first major Western power to do so. His move has exposed growing divisions within the European trio, commonly known as the E3, over how to address the humanitarian disaster. While all three countries support a two-state solution in principle, both the UK and Germany have stopped short of following France's lead. Germany reiterated it has no immediate plans to recognize a Palestinian state, while Prime Minister Starmer faces growing domestic pressure to do so. Earlier this week, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned recognition should happen 'while there's still a state of Palestine left to recognize.' By Friday, 221 of the 650 members of the British House of Commons had signed a letter urging Starmer to recognize Palestinian statehood. 'Since 1980, we have backed a two-state solution. Such a recognition would give that position substance,' the letter stated. Following the E3 call, Starmer condemned 'the continued captivity of hostages, the starvation and denial of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, the increasing violence from extremist settler groups, and Israel's disproportionate military escalation in Gaza.' He emphasized that recognizing a Palestinian state should be part of a broader pathway toward lasting peace. More than 140 countries around the world currently recognize a Palestinian state, including several in Europe. France is now set to become the first G7 member to formally take that step. "Israel" and the United States have both condemned France's decision.
