Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Sunday that its fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava 4 tank with a Yassin-105 anti-tank rocket in the eastern al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.

In a separate operation in the same area, al-Qassam fighters detonated an anti-personnel explosive device, resulting in multiple Israeli occupation soldiers being killed or wounded.

Simultaneously, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), confirmed it had launched a guided missile at an Israeli military barracks located in a house occupied by soldiers east of al-Tuffah.

Amid the intensifying battles, Israel Hayom reported that the Israeli occupation was preparing to call up additional reserve forces due to the mounting toll of dead and wounded in its ranks in Gaza.

'Israel' faces troop shortages

Yoav Zeitun, a military analyst for Yedioth Ahronoth, revealed that the Israeli occupation forces face a severe shortage of combat troops, prompting the activation of Order 77, which extends the service of regular soldiers by an additional four months in reserve duty after completing their mandatory service.

Zeitun noted that the army views this as a temporary solution to a shortage of around 10,000 soldiers, including 7,000 combat troops, stating that the order would remain in effect until the security situation improves or new legislation is introduced.

In a related context, "Israel's" Channel 14 reported growing anger among senior officers in the Israeli military, quoting them as saying, "A decision must be made: either destroy Gaza or withdraw from it; the blood of soldiers is not cheap."

In this context, "Israel's" Channel 12 military correspondent stated that "the army has been operating in Gaza without a clear objective since the end of the ceasefire."

He added that "there is neither a large-scale military operation nor genuine political action," noting that "fighters are being put at risk daily without achieving any significant security gains or making progress on the return of captives."

The correspondent stressed that "it is time for decision-makers to make a choice: either a deal or a war."

Footage: Al-Qassam snipers strike 4 Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza

On Saturday, the Military Media of the al-Qassam Brigades published footage documenting its Resistance fighters sniping four Israeli occupation soldiers and officers in the northern Gaza Strip.

The Brigades said the operation was carried out using the locally manufactured "Ghoul" rifle and that it took place on al-Awda Street, east of Beit Hanoun.

The footage also showed al-Qassam fighters targeting Israeli military equipment with anti-armor shells.

Al-Qassam Brigades noted that these operations were part of the "Breaking the Sword" ambush.
