On January 14, 2023, Russia Today aired a report on the Palestinian Al-Mujahideen Brigades' operations in Gaza. The report showcases the group's rocket manufacturing and tunnel operations. "Aba Anas," the group's spokesman, warned that the issues of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons are a "time bomb," and that if the "Zionist enemy continues with its transgressions in these issues, the situation in occupied Palestine will explode."

Reporter: "The display of military force above ground is an everyday thing in Gaza, but what is more important is what is happening underground. 107mm rockets – which can hit all the [Israeli] settlements near the Gaza Strip – are manufactured here.

"In the past few years, the [Palestinian] factions have doubled their efforts to enhance their military capabilities and to develop their rockets, so that their range would cover the Israeli cities.

[...]

"In the past, we descended 60 meters into the attack tunnels of the Al-Quds Brigades. Today, we are touring the attack tunnels of the Al-Mujahideen Brigades, where the military branches are making preparations, as though [the next] war is inevitable. There are many elements that make the factions declare full mobilization, in light of the challenges imposed by the right-wing Israeli government."

Al-Mujahideen Brigades Spokesman: "The issue of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy places, as well as the issue of the prisoners constitute a time-bomb. In case the Zionist enemy continues with its transgressions in these issues the situation in occupied Palestine will explode."

[...]

Reporter: "The defensive and attack tunnels play a role in the structure of power of the Palestinian factions in Gaza. They facilitate the movement of the fighters, and are used as weapons depots and rocket-launching pads."
