The military media of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released footage showing its fighters targeting Israeli soldiers and vehicles on the frontlines east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The footage documents the Resistance fighters roaming around Israeli tank vehicles and armored personnel carriers near the occupation soldiers.
Two Israeli vehicles were targeted with Shawaz bombs, while a Resistance fighter targeted a third vehicle with an al-Yassin 105 missile before retreating into a tunnel.

Additionally, the footage showed an Israeli helicopter evacuating dead and wounded soldiers. It also depicted Israeli vehicles being directly targeted from among the rubble and inside buildings destroyed by the occupation.
The video also included scenes of an Israeli intelligence robot being controlled by the brigades while it was gathering information in one of Rafah's tunnels. The footage showed the tunnel opening being blown up by al-Qassam Brigades after an Israeli force had placed the robot there.
This comes after the Resistance carried out a complex operation in the east of the Jabalia camp in eastern Gaza, where Israeli occupation forces are stationed. Its fighters were able to engage an Israeli Merkava tank using al-Yassin 105 shells, causing casualties among its operating team.
Al-Qassam fighters then eliminated seven Israeli soldiers found behind the targeted vehicle from point-blank range.
In another complex operation conducted in the School Street of the Jabalia camp, the Brigades targeted a special IOF force stationed inside a house, using an anti-infantry shell. As Israeli soldiers attempted to flee to the lower part of the house, the Resistance fighters used an anti-infantry Raad type of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) against them, causing casualties.
During the same operation, as an armored Israeli force advanced to rescue the injured and retrieve the bodies of the killed soldiers, al-Qassam's Resistance fighters targeted a Merkava tank using an al-Yassin 105 shell and detonated another using a Shawaz armor-piercing explosive device.
The Resistance fighters also sniped an Israeli soldier in another operation in the same area. In northeastern Jabalia, a Merkava tank was targeted using an al-Yassin 105 shell.
