The Palestinian Resistance continues to engage Israeli occupation forces across axes of confrontations in the Gaza Strip.

Several Resistance factions announced a series of operations against occupation forces, in Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Rocket attacks were also recorded on Thursday.

Al-Qassam Brigades releases two videos detailing operations

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades' military media released two videos detailing several operations conducted by Resistance fighters against occupation troops.

In the first video, al-Qassam fighters targeted several Israeli armored vehicles, including a military-grade bulldozer with rocket-propelled grenades (RPG). The events taking place to the west of the city of Khan Younis highlight the Resistance's ability to command and control operations in areas that the Israeli military invaded. One of the fighters speaks of the group's utilization of a tunnel system, which "confused the enemies."

In one shot, the fighters patiently wait for an Israeli bulldozer to arrive at their position as it pummels Palestinian shelters. The bulldozer, as documented by the Resistance's cameras, was targeted from point-blank range. The video also reveals the details of an ambush, in which three Israeli officers were killed after a rocket was booby-trapped with explosives. Israeli troops investigating the object were blown up from afar, according to the information presented in the video.

In the second video, the Brigades showcases footage it captured of its sniper units shooting down an Israeli officer who had arrived at the site in Gaza City, where Israeli occupation soldiers had been positioned. The officer who was being updated on field developments by others was shot in the upper left quadrant of his body, via an anti-material sniper rifle.
