The leader of Hamas resistance movement in the Gaza Strip says the resistance fighters will not surrender to the Israeli occupation forces referring to the heavy losses inflicted on the regime forces in the besieged Gaza.
In a public message on Monday, Yahya Sinwar said that members of the Hamas military wing, known as al-Qassam Brigades, were engaged in a “fierce” fighting with Israeli forces in Gaza and were “smashing” the regime’s occupation army.
"Al-Qassam Brigades are fighting a fierce and unprecedented battle against the Israeli occupation forces," Sinwar said.
Stressing that the brigades are "smashing the Israeli army and will continue to do so," the Hamas leader said they "will not submit to the conditions of the occupation.”
Sinwar outlined the military wing's achievements after two-and-a-half months of Israeli aggression on Gaza, saying 5,000 Israeli soldiers and officers have been killed and wounded since the ground operations began in late October.
The Hamas leader underlined that one-third of Israeli forces, around 1,660, were killed, while the rest had been permanently disabled or seriously wounded.
“Palestinian fighters, who are using ... snipers, anti-tank missiles and explosive devices, have completely destroyed or partially damaged at least 750 Israeli armored vehicles, including tanks,” Sinwar added.
