Israeli media have reported that several Israeli occupation forces troops were wounded in al-Shujaiya, as Palestinian Resistance factions continue to launch attacks and execute ambushes targeting IOF soldiers in Gaza.
The al-Quds Brigades, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's armed wing, stated that they launched a coordinated artillery and missile attack against Israeli occupation troops fortified in a residential area along the western line north of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The al-Quds Brigades' Military Media released footage showing their fighters striking gatherings of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles in Khan Younis using mortar fire.

On its part, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed targeting an Israeli command and control position in the Morag axis using their short-range Rajoum rocket system in an operation on Wednesday.
Nine Israeli troops wounded
Meanwhile, Israeli news outlets reported that eight Israeli soldiers sustained injuries during operational activities in al-Shujaiya, a district of Gaza City in the northern Strip, with preliminary information indicating the wounds resulted from an explosion, the cause of which authorities are still working to determine.
The Israeli military confirmed on Thursday that a soldier had suffered severe injuries during fighting in southern Gaza the previous day, July 24, without elaborating on the specifics of the engagement or the precise area where the injury took place.
The Israeli occupation army stated in an official release that the wounded soldier serves in the armored corps of Battalion 71 of Brigade 188, while Israeli media sources reported that he sustained shrapnel injuries to the head from a mortar shell impact before being medically evacuated for urgent treatment at a military hospital.
Over 18,500 Israeli troops wounded since beginning of war
In a report earlier this week, the Israeli occupation recorded more than 18,500 injuries among its forces since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip, according to a report published on July 21 by Israeli Channel 12. The figures underscore the growing toll of nearly 10 months of warfare, with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical and psychological trauma.
According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical injuries, while more than 10,000 are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the Israeli occupation forces.
The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.
