Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades revealed a joint operation with Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades on Tuesday, which targeted five Israeli military vehicles with Tandem and al-Yassin 105 projectiles near Jabalia al-Balad in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to al-Qassam, the Resistance fighters used machine guns and TBG shells in a coordinated attack on an Israeli force barricaded in a building in the same area, resulting in Israeli soldiers being killed and wounded.

In a separate operation, the Resistance group successfully lured an Israeli special force into a house in Beit Hanoun, north of Gaza, and demolished it with three anti-personnel IEDs, stun grenades, and a Shawaz armor-piercing explosive, leading to the death of the entire force.

Additionally, the Brigades detonated a boobytrapped tunnel in an Israeli force comprising eight soldiers east of al-Bureij Refugee Camp in central Gaza, killing and injuring its members.

Releasing documentation of some of the operations, al-Qassam provided exclusive footage to Al Mayadeen, showing its Resistance fighters targeting Israeli military vehicles in the Sheikh Zayed area in north Gaza using al-Yassin 105 shells.

On its part, al-Quds Brigades published footage of its fighters firing rocket barrages targeting occupied cities, settlements, and Israeli military sites. The Resistance group also announced that it bombarded Israeli military gatherings in the Absan area, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with a barrage of 60mm mortar shells.

Meanwhile, the National Resistance Brigades, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), announced that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations in the central and northern parts of Khan Younis, targeting an invading Israeli force with RPGs, confirming casualties among the struck units.

A gathering of Israeli military vehicles east of Al-Bureij at the Abu Matibeq gate was also attacked with heavy mortar shells during the battle.

This comes as the Israeli occupation army admitted on Tuesday evening that three officers were killed in the battles in Gaza; one Master Sgt. (res.) and two Captains, including one from the reserve forces, raising the total number of troops killed in the Strip since the start of the invasion to 161.
