On the 30th day of confrontations in the Gaza Strip, the Resistance foils Israeli infiltration attempts on multiple axes in the Gaza Strip, unprecedented Israeli airstrikes and shelling.

Hamas' al-Qassam has released daily footage of its fighters confronting and destroying Israeli armored vehicles, using locally produced al-Yassin 105 rocket-propelled grenades, which have proven their exceptional effectiveness. 

The Resistance has dedicated a substantial portion of its production capabilities to accumulating the game-changing charges, that have destroyed or disabled dozens of Israeli armored vehicles

Gaza's flames scorch occupation soldiers

So far, the occupation has admitted that 348 of its soldiers have been killed since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was launched on October 7.

More recently, the spokesperson for the Israeli military confirmed that an Israeli soldier was killed in the Gaza Strip while Israeli media reports revealed that a First Seargent serving under the 202nd Paratrooper Brigade was critically wounded on the same front on Sunday.

The mounting deaths of Israeli soldiers coincided with an increase in deaths among Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip. Although the former is due to the work of Resistance fighters, the latter comes as a direct result of "Israel's" indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip. So far, Israeli warplanes and artillery batteries have killed at least 60 captives in the Gaza Strip.

Defeated on the battlefield; "Israel" intensifies war crimes

Simultaneously, the number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to a total of 10,022 Palestinians including 4,104 children, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

This comes after Israeli occupation forces deliberately cut off Internet and communication services in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. The number of martyrs and the extent of the destruction inflicted on the Gaza Strip became more apparent later on Monday as reports indicated that at least 200 people were martyred during the attack.

The occupation's shelling and airstrikes targeted several areas in the Gaza Strip, including roads and streets that lead to the southern part of the Strip. The occupation had previously announced that the southern sector of the Strip would be a safe area for Gazans to seek refuge in.

However, quickly after, the occupation targeted a convoy of forcibly displaced people, as it continues to do to this day according to Gaza's governmental media office. Emergency services have also been subject to "Israel's" deliberate bombing, as rescue teams were not allowed to save injured people and retrieve dead bodies on Monday.
