Palestinian affairs researcher Saeed Ziyad said, “The shelling of the 99th Brigade command headquarters with mortars was merely covering fire for a well-planned trap for a heavily armed Zionist force, which fell into a mine ambush prepared by engineering fighters in the Maghraqa battalion in the railway street.”
He added, “Anti-tank explosive devices and ‘F-16’ missiles were used in the ambush, which were launched by the enemy’s air force at civilians but did not explode.”
استهداف مقر قيادة الفرقة 99 بالهاون كان مجرد عملية تغطية بالنار على عملية استدراج محكمة لقوة صهيونية مؤللة، وقعت في كمين ألغام أعدّه مقاتلو الهندسة في كتيبة المغراقة في شارع السكّة.
