Al-Quds Brigades’ Heroic Operations: Downing IOF Drone and Striking Al-Tuffah

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, released compelling combat footage on May 25, 2025, showcasing their fighters’ resilience in Gaza.

The video highlights two key operations: the downing of a Zionist spy drone over Gaza and precise mortar strikes targeting Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) positions in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

The drone, IOF reconnaissance quadcopter, was seized, disrupting the Zionist regime’s intelligence-gathering efforts.

Concurrently, the mortar attacks inflicted significant blows on IOF gatherings, demonstrating the resistance’s tactical prowess in countering the occupation’s aggression.

These actions underscore the Al-Quds Brigades’ unwavering commitment to defending Palestine against Zionist oppression.
