Israeli Soldiers Annihilated at Jordan Border and Southern Gaza

A Jordanian man carried out a stabbing and shooting operation on September 18 at the Karameh Crossing connecting Jordan to the Israel-occupied West Bank, annihilating two Israeli soldiers. The 57-year-old Abdul-Muttalib Al-Nuaimi Al-Qaisi, known as Abu Issa, was shot and killed at the scene. One year ago, in September 2024, another Jordanian man annihilated three Israelis at the same crossing.

In his will, Abu Issa wrote: “The crimes committed by the zionist occupation in the Gaza Strip will one day be repeated in our countries, against our homes, women, and children. Our silence cause us to become part of the project of what the enemy calls ‘Greater israel.’”

On the same day, Ansar Allah’s Yemeni Armed Forces reported carrying out successful missile and drone attacks against the Zionist occupiers. According to its statement, the operations “caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, and closed the airspace over occupied Palestine.” One of the drones hit a hotel in Eilat in southern Israel, marking one of the most significant attacks on the occupied city.

Ansar Allah’s military commander delivered a speech denouncing the roles of US and European imperialists in backing Israel as well as the complicity of Arab government in issuing weak statements of condemnation of Israel while simultaneously colluding with it. Condemning the vote of the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year, the commander upheld the principle that the people must never surrender their weapons: “Resistance weapons are a safety valve and fortress that protect peoples and deter genocide.”

Reports continue to emerge of the resistance killing and wounding Israeli soldiers across Gaza. Four Israeli officers were annihilated—including a company commander—and three soldiers wounded in an IED attack in Rafah, southern Gaza, on Thursday (9/18) in an area Israeli forces claimed to have cleared of explosives. The resistance carefully tracks and targets Israeli vehicles containing officers, a practice demonstrated in the IED attack.

Hamas’s military wing the Qassam Brigades released a statement on Thursday warning the Zionist army of its latest invasion and intensified genocide in Gaza City:

“We say to the military and political leadership of the ‘israeli’ enemy: Gaza will not be an easy meal for your cowardly army. We do not fear you and are ready to send the souls of your soldiers to hell. We have prepared for you an army of martyrdom-seekers and thousands of ambushes and engineering devices, and Gaza will be a graveyard for your soldiers.

“You are entering a harsh war of attrition that will cost you additional numbers of dead and prisoners. We have trained our fighters to place explosive devices inside the cabins of your vehicles, and your bulldozers will be prime targets for our fighters and a reason for increasing the number of prisoners we hold.”

This comes in response to Israel’s Operation Gideon’s Chariot 2, which has focused on besieging and occupying Gaza City through its intensified genocide in an attempt to clear northern Gaza of all life, a goal which has so far failed against the resilience of the Palestinian people. At the same time, Israel continues to lash out in all directions across the Greater Middle East, attacking 6 countries in September alone, including assassinating the Yemeni Prime Minister and deliberately targeting and massacring Yemeni journalists in a bombing campaign. Such maneuvers have left the Zionist entity increasingly isolated, drawing in more forces in combat against the Israeli regime amid widespread and increasing international support for the Palestinian people.
