Abu Obeida threatens more Israeli losses after Beit Hanoun operation
In a statement published on Telegram on Tuesday, Abu Obeida added that the war of attrition being waged by Resistance fighters across the Gaza Strip, from north to south, continues to inflict daily losses on the Israeli occupation.
"Our fighters launched their attack from the very ruins the occupation believed were devoid of life," Abu Obeida stated, adding, "The war of attrition our fighters are fighting across the entire Gaza Strip, from the North to the South, will continue to cost the enemy more losses by the day."
He also warned that even if the occupation previously managed to extract its soldiers from what he described as "the inferno", it would not succeed again, alluding to the potential for more Israeli soldiers to be captured in future confrontations.
Directly addressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Abu Obeida said the decision to keep occupation forces inside Gaza was "the most foolish," cautioning that such a move would only deepen the occupation's losses and prolong its failure on the battlefield.
He affirmed that it is the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and the valor of the Resistance that determine the present balance of power and chart the path for the next stage of the confrontation.
This comes in light of a deadly ambush targeting Israeli occupation forces in northern Gaza late on Monday, carried out by Palestinian Resistance fighters. The operation killed five soldiers, including two officers, and wounded 14 others.
Some of the soldiers were reportedly burned to death during the assault, which closely resembled a previous ambush on June 24, when seven Israeli troops were killed after Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted an armored combat engineering unit.
The latest operation is believed to have occurred in Beit Hanoun, a town in northern Gaza that has been under relentless Israeli bombardment since October 7, 2023.
Israeli media described the operation as "extremely serious" and one of the most complex confrontations since the war began.

Gaza alarm drives France's Macron to push for Palestine recognition
President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France would become the first Western member of the United Nations Security Council to recognise a Palestinian state in September has caused diplomatic ructions from the Middle East through Europe to Washington. When Macron visited the Egyptian town of Al-Arish on the border with Gaza in April, he was struck by the mounting humanitarian crisis and made clear on his return home that Paris would soon opt for recognition. Working with Saudi Arabia, Macron came up with a plan to have France, plus G7 allies Britain and Canada, recognise Palestinian statehood, while pushing Arab states to adopt a softer stance towards Israel through a United Nations conference. But despite weeks of talks, he failed to get others on board. Three diplomats said London did not want to face the wrath of the United States, and Ottawa took a similar stance, leaving Macron to go it alone. "It became increasingly apparent that we could not wait to get partners on board," said a French diplomat, adding that France will work to get more states on board ahead of the conference on a two-state solution in September.
