A senior figure in Islamic Jihad (PIJ) told Al-Mayadeen that the ceasefire proposal submitted to Egypt is on behalf of PIJ & Hamas together.

The proposal stipulates in its first clause that a ceasefire requires a complete withdrawal of IOF forces from the Gaza Strip, before any agreement can be reached.

Hamas political leader Haniyeh:

The resistance is fine and its resistance leaders are in good shape. Every day that passes, increases the strength, resilience and confidence of our resistance in victory.

Al-Qassam (Hamas)

Eliminated 5 IOF soldiers from point-blank range, northeast of the Bureij camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

The israeli army admits to the elimination the of an officer in the northern Gaza Strip today:

Staff Sgt. Sufian Dagash, 21, of the Combat Engineering Corps 601st Battalion.

Another officer, soldier, and reservist soldier of the 601st Battalion were seriously wounded in the same incident, the army says.

Footage shows the moment when israel fired 3 missiles from a drone in Beirut, assassinating Hamas leader Arouri & 2 others.

The important aspect here is that the assassination was carried out by air violating Seyyed Nasrallah’s prior warnings. If anything, the situation is about to expand at the northern border.

Hezbullah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in 2023

"Any assassination on Lebanese lands, that targets a Lebanese or a Syrian or an Iranian or a Palestinian, there will be a strong response

We will not allow it to be tolerated and we will not allow Lebanon to become a new field of assassinations for Israel"

Israeli intelligence expert:

“Israel has assassinated many resistance figured in the past, but what has changed? This is not a strategy but a tactic. The resistance will always find a replacement.”

Islamic Jihad (PIJ):

“The assassination of Al-Arouri is an attempt by the enemy to expand the scope of the conflict and drag the region into war to escape their failure in Gaza.

Hamas has informed the mediators of the suspension of ceasefire talks until further notice, in response to the assassination in Beirut.

IOF Spokesman Hagari in first comments since IOF drone assassination in Beirut:

"The israeli army is at high readiness in all areas. The army is prepared for any scenario.”

The IOF still didn’t officially claim responsibility. But doesn’t matter, even the street rat knows it

— AnsarAllah Yemen, Iran, Kata'ib Hezbollah (Iraq), and most Palestinian resistance factions all have condemned the assassination of Arouri in Beirut.

The other senior Hamas leader, killed along with Arouri, is Samir Afandi (aka Abu Aamer), he was in charge of the Hamas movement in Lebanon.

Third important assassinated figure was one of Arouri’s assistants, Azzam Al-Aqra'. Originally from Nablus.

Al-Aqsa TV correspondent in Beirut:

The list of 7 martyrs from Zionist aggression on Beirut:

Martyr Saleh Al-Arouri.
Hamas commander Samir Afandi (Abu Aamer).
Hamas commander Azzam Al-Aqra.
Martyr Mahmoud Zaki Shahin.
Martyr Mohammed Al-Reis.
Martyr Mohammed Bshasha.
Martyr Ahmed Hamoud.

Hezbollah has issued a statement:

We consider the crime of assassinating Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri and his fellow martyrs in the heart of the southern suburb of Beirut to be a serious assault on Lebanon, its people, its security, sovereignty, and resistance, and the highly symbolic and significant political and security messages it contains, and a dangerous development in the course of the war between the enemy and the axis of resistance, and we in Hezbollah, we affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment, and that our resistance to its pledge is steadfast, proud, and faithful to its principles and commitments that it has made to itself, its hand is on the trigger, and its resistors are in the highest levels of readiness and preparedness, and this is a memorable day for what follows. For days, great patience and beautiful patience, and God is the one who helps, and victory, God Almighty willing, is very near.

The army is prepared for any scenario.

amazing footage, it is a bit of a shame tough they do not show the aftermath.
I am curious if Hamas Tandem rockets are sufficient to penetrate the armor of the tanks.

AT school 101, if you can not penetrate the armor. target it's tracks.

I remember an QRF action in Afghanistan where we had to retrieve an APC that was disabled in an urbanised enviroment under taliban assault.
RPG rocket penetrated the engine compartment and crushed the driver's legs, fire broke out in the tank burning the injured driver partially.
It was insane, Taliban knew we tried getting to the trapped driver in the APC and threw everything into their assault.

Having an mobility kill on an armored vehicle can be just as effective as killing the vehicle outright.

That's right , they don't have to completely destroy the tank .

Also using ATGMs with higher penetration will slow down the mobility of Hamas units which could be tracked and targeted easily by drones .

They have the advantage of using the buildings which give them a good angle to target the upside weak part of the tanks , the rubble is an advantage now like what happened in Mosul or Monte Cassino battles .

An Israeli drone strike on Hamas' office in Beirut, Lebanon, has killed four people, including the terror group's deputy political leader,
