On the 91st day of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Resistance continues to carry out joint operations, confronting Israeli occupation forces on several axes.
Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp located to the south of Gaza City in the central Gaza Strip saw an attempted advance by Israeli occupation forces, to which Resistance factions responded with direct fire. Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced that its mortar units targeted a grouping of Israeli soldiers and armored vehicles to the east of the camp.
In the southern district of Khan Younis, al-Qassam fighters conducted a joint operation with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades and targeted three Israeli Merkava tanks with locally produced 64/105 mm tandem charges, dubbed al-Yassin, and an imported tandem charge, near the Maen area.
Further to the east of Khan Younis, near the separation wall between the Gaza Strip and occupied territories, al-Qassam fighters targeted an Israeli military armored bulldozer with an al-Yassin charge, in Khuzaa.

Although the Khuzaa is located on the extremities of the southern district, the Resistance has maintained its positions within the town, conducting key operations, including an ambush on Friday.
Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighter detonated a minefield of three anti-personnel explosive devices, when an Israeli infantry force, consisting of seven troops reached a street in Khuzaa, killing and injuring its members.
In the northern Gaza Strip, salvos of rockets were launched toward the kibbutzim of "Nahal Oz" and "Alumim", al-Quds Brigades announced. The al-Mujahideen Brigades also fired rockets at "Nahal Oz" at 11:00 am (local time).
In terms of direct confrontations, al-Mujahideen Brigades announced that its fighters targeted an Israeli armored personnel carrier (APC) with an anti-armor charge, in the Sheikh al-Radwan neighborhood, which completely destroyed the vehicle.
