Speech HIGHLIGHTS of Al-Qassam spox, Abu Ubaida:

(Watch with english subs (https://t.me/FotrosResistance/4304) here)

• We targeted and disabled 1000 Israeli military vehicles in Gaza over 100 days.

• The Battle of Al-Aqsa Storm was an important battle in the history of the nation and ummah and a cry that was raised for the freedom of all nations.

• The information we receive from various fronts in the resistance nexus indicates that they will expand their strikes in the coming days if the aggression on Gaza continues.

• We have no option but to use all our power to respond to the enemy's killings and crimes against our nation.

• We inflicted severe blows on the enemy and we continue to inflict more severe blows on it than the blow on the 7th of October.

Abu Obeida:

• Most of the ammunition and weapons we used were from domestically produced by the Qassam Brigades. These industries wouldn't have been effective against the dirty American arsenal if it weren't for the more significant industry—the Palestinian mujahid fighter whose will and determination, no force on earth, can withstand.

• What will technology and deadly weapons do against the power of faith in a mujahid who spends two months or more in his defensive position, awaiting victory over his enemy, counting it all for Allah, believing in his cause? The testimonies of our heroic mujahideen returning from the front lines confirm their faith and greatness.

• Our fighters return with shocking testimonies about the lack of faith among IOF soldiers and how they flee despite carrying weapons and equipment.

• The illusion of heroism displayed by the occupation army is a subject of mockery even for the youngest Palestinian child.

• The enemy’s announcements of imaginary achievements regarding rockets and tunnels are a subject of ridicule for us, and the day will come when we prove their falsehood.

• Any talk other than stopping the aggression against our people has no value

• Neither displacement nor indiscriminate destruction achieved anything for them but shame, and they haven’t recovered any prisoners, just as the mask has fallen from this aggressive terrorist entity.

• The fate of many prisoners has become unknown during the past weeks.

• Most likely many prisoners were killed and the enemy bears responsibility for their fate.

• We believe that it is our jihad duty to inform 2 billion Muslims that within 100 days the enemy has desecrated dozens of mosques in Gaza and stopped the call to prayer and its performance in a clear religious war.

@FotrosResistance

Videos like this clearly show that the Israelis don't give a shit, they are beyond approach, no-one can touch them.

Perhaps this is a warning to Lebanon as it appears that the IAF have decided that they can't fight on two fronts and have seriously reduced their manpower in and around Gaza, moving much of it north.

It really is starting to look like a suicide mission to keep Netty out of jail.

Videos like this clearly show that the Israelis don't give a shit, they are beyond approach, no-one can touch them.

Yeah, making the German nazis look good... what a bunch of heros...

They go on about how bad other religions are, yet their religion seems to have no room for tolerance or forgiveness or cooperation...

They are reaping what they have sowed.

Al-Qassam published a video showing launches of mortars & 107mm rockets targeting military concentrations penetrating the outskirts of Gaza City.

BREAKING: Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces:

In defense of the sovereignty of Iraq and its airspace violated by the aircraft of the US forces, yesterday, they targeted an American MQ-9 drone in Diyala Governorate, with the appropriate weapons.

The drone was coming from Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait.

https://t.me/FotrosResistance/4545

A security source:

The targeting of the building in Damascus, which killed an IRGCGF advisor, came in an israeli response to the targeting & killing of MOSSAD agents in Erbil, along with a number of others (locals most likely)

PIJ denies losing any of its members.

Dropping bombs on defenseless areas and placing charges to make a show on camera just proves they are dumb .

Actually Hamas videos show smart tactics and high experience , they just don't have weapons like IDF .

Overall IDF has failed till now on it's strategic goals there , so such videos shows how desperate they are .

The martyred IRGC members are General Haj Sadegh Omidzadeh, deputy intelligence officer of IRGC's Quds Force, along with his deputy Haj Gholam (Muharram)

WATCH: Al-Qassam (Hamas) published a video showing its forces target military vehicles penetrating into the Al-Jabari site, east of Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, with Yassin-105s.

The names of the 4 IRGC martyrs:

Hojjatollah Omidvar

Interestingly, the names are different than what was initially reported.

@FotrosResistance

The IRGC announced in an announcement an hour ago that Guardsman Rashid Islam Mohammad Amin Samadi, was martyred due to the severity of his injury.

According to this announcement, 5 military advisers have been martyred in this crime.

Reuters confirms casualties among the American army, as a result of the bombing.

BIG SUMMARY of all resistance operations today, January 20 (2024), against US-israeli forces:


— Al-Qassam Brigades:

Clashed fierce battles at point-blank range with IOF forces, east of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

— Islamic Resistance in Iraq:

Attacked the US Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq with a massive salvo of both rockets and ballistic missiles, causing for damages and injuries among US forces.

This list did not include rockets fired from Gaza towards settlements.

The enemy suffered a fatal blow on October 7 and has been unable to achieve any of its objectives in Gaza to date.

- No living prisoner has been recovered.
- Hamas military wing leaders have not been killed.
- The resistance's capabilities have not been destroyed.
- Global support is diminishing, leading to international isolation.
- There is no post-war plan in place.

Therefore, until now,

- Zionist settlers lack confidence in the army's ability to protect them (both at the Lebanon border and in Gaza).
- The enemy cannot sustain a prolonged high-intensity confrontation in Gaza, as their army is exhausted and resistance is slowly depleting their ground forces.
- Expanding the conflict with Hezbollah comes with a high cost, making it a risky venture without guaranteed success.

The current enemy is a wounded wolf, aware that its wounds won't heal, and the axis of resistance sees its demise with hopeful eyes.

As Sayyed Nasrollah said, victory doesn't come with a decisive blow. The right strategy is understanding the enemy's weaknesses and precisely targeting them in a strategic battle.

This overall context is highly positive, offering hope for liberation and defeating the American project in the region. We sacrifice much blood because we are an ethical resistance force, and the battle lacks material equality.

The enemy's assassination operations aim to score points against the resistance axis. While wounded, the enemy tries to show strength, but our battle relies on strategic planning, not impulsive reactions.

We don't ask Iran for military strikes on Tel Aviv. It may not be the optimal response in the context of the systemic war with America. Decision-making requires understanding the broader context and the wide picture of the battle's consequences for the future.

We want Iran to remain strong and cohesive, capable of supplying the resistance with necessary weapons and expertise. It's the axis's lifeline, and if damaged internally, it affects the entire axis. The response lies in strategic patience and calculated, precise strikes.

Lt.Col Eli Dekel (ret.), former head of the field research branch in the IDF, on a recent interview on 103FM, had some interesting things to state, explaining the Egyptian interest in the current Gaza war and where it conflicts with Israeli interests.

Here are the following interesting bits he had to state.

1) The Arab Republic of Egypt has a great interest in preserving the capabilities of Hamas in the Gaza Strip - this is contrary to all diplomatic reports published by Israel and the U.S in where it states that Egypt wishes for the PLO to take over.

2) Egypt, in a strategy of attritional warfare, is willing to support any organization that is against Israel, including the PLO and Hamas and various other organizations, which has been taking place since 1956, and has never really ceased.

3) Egypt has no interest in developing the Gaza Strip beyond the capabilities of basic survival necessity without solving the Palestinian question - even the former president of Egypt, Morsi, had no such intentions

4) In the Lieutenant Colonel’s opinion, and based on his service as the head of an entire branch of the IDF which specialized in the studies of the capabilities of enemy forces and their culture, Egypt is seriously considering the possibility of open conflict with Israel.

5) Eli states that the Armed Forces of Egypt have started, over the last year, has dug over 60 bunkers, strategic reserves, ammunition dumps, fuel depots, and the likes, in Sinai and the west bank of the Suez Canal, the disposition of these installations and the closeness they have towards the Israeli border would insure a swift deployment of field armies, and for their resupply - Lt.Col Eli also states that Egypt has practically violated the remaining articles of Camp David by building the bunkers, fortresses, tunnels, and so on, and that the diplomatic wish-wash reports were simply made not to panic the Israeli population.
