Al-Qassam: We boosted our capabilities during the last four years

After the end of the 2012 Gaza war (Ḥijarat as-Sijeel Battle), the capabilities of the Palestinian resistance at the military level have developed greatly and become much better, al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas said on Monday.

In a statement released on the fourth anniversary of the battle, al-Qassam Brigades affirmed that the resistance in Gaza is able to fight a long battle with the Israeli occupation army with all resolve, courage and competence.

“Two years later after Ḥijarat as-Sijeel, [the Brigades] proved its ability to make unique acts of heroism during el-Asef al-Makul Battle (the 2014 Gaza war), and it is still adherent to its oath without getting weary until the day of victory and liberation,” the Brigades stated.

The Brigades also paid tribute to all the martyrs who died during the 2012 war, especially its deputy commander Ahmed al-Jabari, who was killed at the onset of the war.
