The Abu Ali Mustafa Martyr Brigades has carried out several operations
against the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza today.

The Brigades announced that its rocket unit targeted Israeli military
gatherings east of the central governorate with a 107-caliber rocket
barrage.

It also targeted the new Israeli military sites in the Philadelphi axis in
the southern Gaza Strip with a rocket barrage.

Additionally, the group targeted the Israeli army command and control
headquarters in the Netzarim axis with another 107-caliber rocket barrage.

But who are the Abu Ali Mustafa Martyr Brigades?

It is the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine.

The Brigades were established in 2000. Initially, the group was named the
Popular Resistance Forces, before its name changed, in 2001, to the Abu Ali
Mustafa Martyr Brigades – following the Israeli assassination of the leader
of the PFLP in his office in Al-Bireh in the West Bank.

The ideology of the group is Marxist, and it operates mostly in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip.

With the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000, the activity of the
Popular Resistance Forces focused mostly on attacking Israeli occupation
forces, detonating IEDs and raiding Israeli military checkpoints.

In 2001, the Secretary-General of the PFLP, known by his nom de guerre Abu
Ali Mustafa, was assassinated. The group retaliated 40 days later,
assassinating extremist Israeli Minister of Tourism Rehavam Ze’evi.

Throughout the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the Brigades became active in confronting
the Israeli occupation and fought several battles against it, the most
famous of which was the battle of Al-Ain camp.

Its activities in Gaza became highlighted during the Israeli war on the
Strip in 2008-2009. Since then, it continued to play an important role in
resisting Israeli military incursion and wars on the besieged Strip.

In the ongoing Israeli war and genocide on Gaza, the Abu Ali Mustafa Martyr
Brigades developed its resistance capabilities further, to the extent that
that its fighters carry out several operations a day, either independently
or jointly with other resistance groups, including Hamas and the Islamic
Jihad.

Below are the latest statements by the main Resistance forces in Gaza.

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are
published here in their original form.
*Al-Qassam Brigades*

“Al-Qassam Brigades destroyed a Zionist troop carrier with a Shawath
explosive device in the Al-Khulafa area in Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza

Be’eri east of the Central Governorate and the Netzarim axis with a barrage

people.

“The missile unit in the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades targeted the
enemy’s command and control headquarters in the Netzarim axis north of the
central governorate with a barrage of 107 caliber missiles at exactly 6:20
pm in response to the occupation’s crimes against our people.
