Abu Obeida's Devastating Blow to Israeli Families: Admits Al-Qasam Brigades Lost 4 Hostages

Abu Obaida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, announced the loss of communication with a group responsible for safeguarding a set of Israeli captives detained in the Gaza Strip. In a statement shared on his Telegram channel, Abu Obaida attributed the loss of contact to the relentless Israeli bombardment endured over the past ten days. He specifically mentioned the absence of communication with a faction tasked with protecting four Israeli captives, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Notably, the al-Qassam Brigades had recently released a video message from Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, wherein he appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and government officials to secure the release of captives and consider resigning from their positions. #Israel #HamasHostageVideo #HamasHostages #HershGoldbergPolin #HostageVideoReleased #AbuObaida #Hamas #AlQassamBrigades #IsraeliCaptives #GazaStrip #War #Bombardment #Conflict #Hostages #CommunicationLoss #Military #MiddleEast #Prisoners #Security ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

Iraqi Islamic Resistance Pounds Vital Israel’s Eilat Port with New Al-Arfad Drones | Video Out

The Iraqi Resistance has launched another attack in Israel, targeting the Eilat Port with a new kamikaze drone. Claiming responsibility for the strike, the group stated it was in support of Gaza. This marks the first time the resistance group has used the Al-Arfad suicide drones, which bear resemblance to the Yemeni armed forces' Sammad line of attack drone. Previously relying on its own version of the Shahed-101 drone, the resistance released a video capturing the moment the drone struck the target in Eilat. However, details regarding the location of impact and casualties remain undisclosed. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been increasingly staging such attacks on Israeli targets, particularly since the Israeli offensive in Rafah, despite prior warnings. #IraqiResistance #EilatPortAttack #AlArfadDrones #RafahOffensive #Israel #GazaSupport #DroneStrike #MilitaryConflict #MiddleEast #SecurityThreat ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.318~GR.121~
