Israeli media revealed that two occupation soldiers were killed in the Netzarim Axis on Monday, in an "unprecedented incident" that has not occurred in months against the Israeli occupation forces (IOF). 

Under the "permitted to publish" clause, Israeli media reported on Tuesday that the killed soldiers were a first-class reserve sergeant from the 121st Battalion in the 8th Brigade and a reserve major, who was also a commander of a company within the same battalion. 

In the same battle, five other soldiers of the same battalion were wounded, with one sustaining serious injuries. In another battle on Monday, an occupation soldier of the 52nd Battalion in the 401 Brigade was seriously wounded. 

Israeli media noted that IOF soldiers in the Netzarim Axis were blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). 

270 days of Resistance 

For the 270th day of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, the Palestinian Resistance continues incurring heavy losses against the Israeli occupation across all combat axes in Gaza. 

The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, was able to engage a 14-member Israeli force stationed inside a house in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in northeastern Gaza, using a TBG change, and confirming casualties between killed and wounded. 

Al-Qassam fighters also targeted an Israeli Merkava tank and a Namer Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) using al-Yassin 105 shell, in al-Shujaiya neighborhood as well. 

In Rafah, al-Qassam pounded an Israeli gathering of soldiers and military vehicles using mortar shells, near the Tell al-Sultan cemetery. 

Al-Qassam's Military Media also published footage of its fighters sniping an Israeli soldier in al-Shujaiya.

In addition to the abundance of footage released by al-Qassam, showcasing its fighters' operations against invading Israeli forces, one fighter directly addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, threatening him of "shaking the occupation over his head," while simultaneously addressing those who have lost their loved ones in Gaza, vowing to avenge the martyrs. 

Al-Aqsa Brigades

Also in al-Shujaiya, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), targeted an Israeli special force entrenched inside a building with a TBG shell, killing and wounding its members.

It also managed to detonate a Thaqib bomb in an Israeli military vehicle near the al-Salem Mosque in the same neighborhood.

In western Rafah, the al-Quds Brigades pounded occupation soldiers and their vehicles with a barrage of mortar shells.

The brigades also bombed the occupation soldiers' positions and their military vehicles in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, and another position in western Rafah, with a barrage of mortar shells as well.

Meanwhile, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Military Media published footage documenting the bombing of the occupation soldiers and their vehicles in the Israeli Re'im military base and the Mefalsim air base, with a salvo of missiles.

After the al-Aqsa Martyrs fighters returned from the frontlines on Monday, they reported carrying out a missile and artillery fortification operation in Netzarim, where the central Israeli command room was bombarded with a barrage of heavy-caliber mortar shells and 107 mm and 114 mm rockets.

The Resistance movement confirmed direct casualties in Israeli ranks, after spotting an Israeli helicopter landing on site for evacuation. 

Over the past 24 hours, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades carried out 13 operations across several combat axes, including fierce confrontations and a sniping operation against an Israeli occupation soldier in a house in al-Shujaiya. 

On its part, the al-Mujahideen Brigades pounded an Israeli control base in Netzarim, using two 107 mm rockets. 

Joint operations

In a joint operation carried out by the al-Qassam and the al-Quds Brigades in al-Shujaiya neighborhood, the Resistance fighters were able to kill two Israeli soldiers at point-blank.

In another operation, the Resistance movements carried out a complex ambush, also in al-Shujaiya, where they targeted an Israeli force entrenched in a building with a TBG shell. As soon as the rescue forces advanced, they were targeted with an al-Yassin 105 shell, while two Thaqib and Shawaz bombs were detonated in two military vehicles.

The al-Mujahideen Brigades, in cooperation with the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, bombed a gathering of occupation forces in the advancement axis in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, with short-range missiles.
