Gaza Resistance Defeats Israeli Infiltration and Kidnapping Attempt

Palestinian security and resistance forces repelled a Zionist infiltration attempt in Gaza City on September 1.

According to Palestinian news sources and the Gaza municipal government, Zionist special forces entered Gaza city in disguise with the aid of Palestinian collaborator gangs, attempting to kidnap a senior Gaza security official.

Palestinian security forces discovered the ruse as the Zionists entered a heavily-populated area. Resistance forces surrounded and ambushed the criminals, annihilating multiple Zionists according to the Director of the Gaza Government Media Office. Resistance forces also succeeded in capturing three collaborators.

Some Zionists fled on motorbike while Israel committed aerial bombardment massacres to cover their withdrawal in defeat, employing at least 10 aircraft to strike civilian vehicles in the area and suppress emergency personnel from reaching the killed and wounded.

The number of Palestinians killed by the Zionist entity is unclear but includes at least one women and multiple children, with more wounded.

Palestinian security forces say the Zionist infiltrators failed in an attempt to assassinate a senior Gaza security official but did abduct another security officer, Mu’in Muhammad al-Arabid. Al-Arabid was wounded in a gun battle with the Zionists before he was taken. After he fell wounded, his wife Samah al-Khaldi took up his weapon and killed multiple occupation soldiers before they murdered her, according to sources cited by Palestinian outlet QNN.

The thwarted operation continues the US-Zionists’ failed strategy of assassination and abduction of resistance leaders. The swift detection and defeat of the infiltration reveals the opposing military logics of the Palestinian resistance and the US-Zionists: the former lives and fights because it is united with the masses of Gaza, while the latter relies on massacres and traitors for its dirty work.

The Zionists have attempted throughout the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood to dismantle Gaza’s civilian security forces and government. They continue this terror campaign now as the US-Zionists attempt to impose through ceasefire and the US imperialist land-theft and disarmament of the “Board of Peace” what they could not secure on the battlefield through years of genocide against the victorious Palestinian resistance

The attempted assassinations and abductions follow the Zionist assassination of Qassam Brigades leader Qais al-Bitawi in Jenin in the West Bank on August 28. According to Hamas spokesmen, the US-Zionists fear an upsurge of resistance in the West Bank as the Palestinian masses combat and resist increasing settler attacks and Israeli land-grabbing through defensive armed actions.
