The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that it had targeted an Israeli command and control post in southern Gaza, as part of a joint operation with the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. 

According to a statement released Wednesday, the attack was carried out using mortar shells and struck the Israeli site in the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis. It marks one of several coordinated operations launched from Gaza as the Israeli occupation forces continue their incursion into the Strip.

In a separate operation, the al-Qassam fighters shelled a gathering of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles near the al-Muhandis Hall in the al-Satra al-Gharbi area, north of Khan Younis, also using mortars.

The Resistance group further reported targeting an Israeli armored personnel carrier and two D9 military bulldozers with tandem warheads and a Yassin-105 anti-armor projectile near the Islah Roundabout on al-Muntar Street in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, on July 7. 

Al-Quds Brigades pounds Israeli forces

Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades published video footage showing the moment its fighters detonated a powerful explosive device beneath an Israeli military vehicle during an incursion east of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City. The footage appeared on Tuesday and was distributed across social media and affiliated media outlets.

In response, the Israeli occupation military acknowledged that one of its soldiers was seriously wounded in combat operations in the southern Gaza Strip. The soldier reportedly belonged to the Samson Battalion (92nd) of the Kfir Brigade.

Israeli media also reported what they called a "severe security event" affecting occupation forces, east of Khan Younis, but did not provide further details, citing military censorship. Another outlet reported that several wounded soldiers were evacuated by helicopter from Gaza to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Later, Israeli media reported that one soldier was killed and two others were seriously injured when a tank was targeted with an explosive device east of Gaza. 

Resistance intensifies battlefield tactics

Hamas earlier highlighted that its fighters are “engaged in a war of attrition that surprises the enemy daily through innovative field tactics that rob it of initiative and confuse its calculations.” 

Despite the Israeli military's overwhelming firepower and aerial supremacy, Hamas asserted that “the longer the war drags on, the deeper the Israeli army sinks into Gaza’s shifting sands, exposing its forces to increasingly sophisticated resistance strikes.” 

The group described Netanyahu’s actions as reckless, stating he is “dragging his army and the entire Zionist entity into a futile war with no horizon.” Hamas warned that the continuation of the aggression not only endangers the lives of prisoners and captured soldiers but also poses a strategic disaster for "Israel" as a whole. 

Resistance resilience shaping talks

Hani al-Dali, a Resistance affairs analyst for Al Mayadeen, stated that the Palestinian Resistance's unwavering resolve and refusal to accept Israeli frameworks have shaped the negotiation process.

Al-Dali stressed that the Palestinian Resistance’s steadfastness and battlefield persistence have compelled "Israel" to rethink its earlier withdrawal plans, initially presented during negotiations, having sought to maintain Israeli military presence in parts of the Gaza Strip.

He further noted that the high-impact operations carried out on the ground, such as the widely circulated image of a Resistance fighter planting an explosive device inside an Israeli tank, have significantly pressured the Israeli military establishment. These operations deliver an unmistakable message to the political leadership and public that the army cannot accomplish its goals in Gaza, given the relentless attrition and deteriorating troop morale.

Al-Dali also pointed out that the Palestinian Resistance's strong military performance has directly impacted the negotiation process, forcing the occupation, under mediator pressure, to discuss modifying its withdrawal plans.
