Al-Duwairi: The occupation’s declaration that the Qassams were not defeated in the north is a prelude to a new expanded operation. He expected the occupation army to begin its expanded operation if the decision was taken to end the Battle of Khan Yunis in the south, by directing part of its forces in that region to the north.
The Al-Qassam Brigades in the Zaytoun neighborhood have been in a state of daily clashes for more than 110 days, as confirmed by Israeli occupation sources.
