🇮🇱🇵🇸🚨‼️ Qassam released footage of the operation that lead to the demise of 22 IDF soldiers.

Statement:

“At exactly 16:00 yesterday evening, the Al-Qassam were able to carry out a combined operation east of the Maghazi camp, where they targeted a house in which an IDF engineering force was holed up with an anti-personnel shell that led to the explosion of the ammunition and engineering equipment it was in possession of, completely blowing up the house.

And simultaneously the Mujahideen destroyed the "Merkvah" tank that was securing the force with the "Al-Yassin 105" shell.

They also detonated a minefield with another IDF force that was present in the same place, which led to all of them being killed or wounded, and the Qassam fighters withdrew to their bases safely.”

❕🇺🇸 US forced to tap into its stockpile to arm Ukraine - Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder

"And that, of course, does not allow us to meet Ukraine's most pressing needs on the battlefield, including artillery rounds, anti-tank weapons, air defense interceptors."
- Ryder stated at the briefing.

The Pentagon spokesman urged Congress to provide additional funding as soon as possible. According to him, the threat to Ukraine from Russia is serious and "is not going anywhere."

The sooner the U.S. can continue to provide Ukraine with the level of support it needs, "the better not only for Ukraine, but also for the international community," Ryder believes.
