The Al-Qassam Brigades has claimed responsibility for the Jaffa operation, carried out by Qassam fighters Muhammad Rashid Misk and Ahmad Abdul Fattah Al-Haimouni, both from Al-Khalil (Hebron) on Wednesday.
Al-Qassam stated that the operation coincided with “painful strikes targeting the heart of the entity on Tuesday, 28th Rabi’ al-Awwal 1446 AH (January 10, 2024), at the height of elevated security alerts across various resistance fronts. The day’s events culminated in a major missile strike during Iran’s Operation ‘True Promise 2’.”
According to Israeli enemy reports, the attack resulted in the deaths of seven Zionists and left 16 others injured, some critically.
In detailing the attack, the statement explained that the fighters successfully infiltrated occupied territories, stabbing an occupation soldier and seizing his automatic weapon. They then launched a coordinated assault in two different locations within Tel Aviv, including a train station, where they engaged and eliminated Zionist forces at close range.
Addressing the occupiers, Al-Qassam warned, “In the coming days, death will come to you from various areas of the West Bank at the hands of our determined Mujahideen, the loyal sons of leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh al-Arouri. These brave fighters are preparing to etch new chapters of heroism in the ongoing Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, bringing joy to our people, God willing.”
“As long as the occupation continues to exterminate our people and children in Gaza, it should prepare to see its dead in the streets of our occupied cities, God willing,” the statement further stressed.
8 Israelis were killed and dozens were wounded in a shooting attack at a light rail station in Jaffa on Tuesday evening.
