Field Commander in Al-Quds Brigades reveals details of complex operation targeting Zionist armored vehicle in Absan
Gaza – Saba: A field commander in Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, operating in the Khan Younis Brigade, disclosed details on Wednesday of a complex and high-quality operation targeting a Zionist armored personnel carrier (APC) in the Absan al-Kabira area east of Khan Younis on Tuesday. The operation aimed to capture several soldiers. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the commander explained that the operation began with the detonation of pre-planted explosive devices of the "Barq al-Sadmiya" (Shock Lightning) type, which had been carefully placed along the vehicle's route following precise surveillance and days of preparation. The explosion completely destroyed the APC, setting it ablaze. He added that immediately after the blast, their fighters rushed toward the armored vehicle, engaging its crew at point-blank range and managing to drag one soldier out in an attempt to capture him. However, during the operation, nearby military vehicles intervened, shelling the scene with artillery and heavy machine gun fire, hindering the completion of the capture. This resulted in the death of the targeted soldier and the martyrdom of a group of their heroic fighters, who had carried out the mission with utmost bravery. The commander emphasized that this was not the first operation of its kind, as numerous attempts had been made in other conflict zones. He expressed high confidence in their fighters, stating, "We trust our mujahideen, and God willing, they will achieve success." Since October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance factions have continued their heroic operations against the Zionist enemy as part of the ongoing "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Erbe introduces FiAPC® plus: Advancing control in flexible argon plasma coagulation
TÜBINGEN, Germany, July 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH presents its latest innovation in electrosurgery: the FiAPC® plus probes. They are designed for use in gastrointestinal and pulmonary endoscopy. Building upon decades of experience with argon plasma coagulation (APC), FiAPC® plus probes introduce advancements aimed at enhancing control, workflow efficiency, and procedural reliability. Designed to put control in the physician's hands With the FiAPC® plus probes, Erbe seeks to give physicians greater control over every aspect of the APC application: from energy delivery and beam formation to tip positioning and suction. "Precision in APC begins with control. And that's exactly what FiAPC® plus is built to provide," Mariuccia Zambelli, Vice President Global Marketing, stated. The new probes feature a thermally insulated tip, developed to minimize heat generation at the distal end of the instrument. This reduces tissue sticking and allows for a homogenous and consistent plasma beam, even in complex anatomies. Versatility for GI and pulmonary applications The FiAPC® plus probes are available in various versions with axial, lateral and circumferential openings for the plasma beam, offering physicians options that align with a wide range of clinical applications. The probes are compatible with Erbe's full range of renowned APC modes - preciseAPC®, pulsedAPC® (slow and fast), and forcedAPC® - which can be selected to choose the right tissue effect for the corresponding tissue characteristics. The FiAPC® plus probes unfold their full potential in combination with the APC 3 and the new VIO® 3n Fire electrosurgical generator, specifically dedicated to APC applications. The platform's architecture ensures seamless integration, fast recognition, and preconfigured APC mode settings tailored to the FiAPC® plus probe, resulting in enhanced workflow efficiency, precision, and user confidence. Reliable performance in thermosensitive areas across specialties While the FiAPC® plus probes are designed for a broad range of APC indications, their value becomes especially clear in procedures involving thermosensitive areas, whether in the gastrointestinal tract or the bronchial system. In areas such as the cecum, right colon, or narrow airways, where precision and limited thermal spread are essential, FiAPC® plus offers reliability and control through stable plasma ignition, reduced tissue sticking, and optimized energy delivery at the probe tip. To support GI endoscopists and pulmonologists in applying APC, Erbe complements the launch of FiAPC® plus with a comprehensive offering of clinical education and training. This includes hands-on courses, structured learning modules, and on-site support through the Erbe Team: helping physicians navigate their APC journey from first use to expert application. FiAPC® plus probes are now available in CE and CE-related markets. Additional markets will follow soon. With this latest development, Erbe reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of APC technology through user-centered innovation and clinical partnership.
