In a statement, spokesman for the Brigades Abu Obeida said that al-Qassam fighters recently killed dozens of Israeli soldiers during 17 military operations across Gaza, including 15 Israeli soldiers who were killed at point-blank range, adding that another officer and a soldier were taken down by sniper fire.
