Gaza Ambush Echoes October 7: Al-Qassam Strikes with Precision in Beit Hanoun

Watan-In a high-profile operation described by observers as a “miniature repeat of October 7,” the Al-Qassam Brigades executed a precise ambush in Beit Hanoun, targeting a military jeep belonging to the Israeli army’s combat intelligence-gathering unit. This was part of the ongoing “Operation Breaking the Sword.”

The ambush, carried out amidst rubble, reflected a significant evolution in resistance tactics. The Israeli vehicle had been tracked in advance. As it reached the designated point, an anti-armor missile was launched, striking it directly. Moments later, an Israeli support unit rushed to rescue the crew—only to be hit with a second surprise: an explosive device that completed the ambush.

In a scene reminiscent of carefully coordinated military operation room plans, RPG rounds rained down on the site. The resistance fighters then withdrew with remarkable tactical precision, reportedly without any casualties on their side, according to several sources.

Beit Hanoun Ambush Revives Gaza’s Defiant Pulse

A video documenting the operation spread like wildfire online, with social media platforms flooded with praise for this intelligent tactic. Many users likened it to the events of October 7, expressing widespread popular pride in the resistance’s skill and determination.

According to military analysts, the operation had a clear objective: to increase the cost of war for the occupation, minimize resistance casualties, and preserve both personnel and equipment. The clearest message was this: Gaza will not be defeated, and Beit Hanoun will fight until the very last breath.

In a related development, Israeli journalists acknowledged the scale of the operational failure suffered by the Israeli army in this incident, noting that Palestinian resistance has now taken the initiative and is imposing new rules of engagement based on surprise, precision, and discipline.

As the occupation forces continue their ground push into northern Gaza, operations like this serve as a sharp reminder that Gaza is not merely a destroyed city—but a labyrinth of will and resistance, pulsing with life each time the enemy assumes it has died.
