Since the start of the Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Resistance has been making the occupation forces suffer heavy losses.

The Palestinian Resistance factions continue to target the military gatherings of the Israeli occupation military while Israeli media express concerns about what awaits "Israel" in the coming days due to the confrontations between the Palestinian Resistance and the occupation forces inside Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, published footage of its fighters successfully targeting an anti-personnel mine on a foot patrol unit east of Beit Hanoun in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, the Al-Qassam Brigades also released footage of their fighters engaging with Israeli military vehicles east of the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza and destroying several of them. The video shows Al-Qassam fighters emerging from a tunnel to launch Yassin 105 rockets at the Israeli vehicles, causing them to catch fire.

The Israeli military has suffered significant casualties, with the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reporting that "we must understand that the feeling that engulfed us all on October 7 will return in the coming days due to the fighting in Gaza."

Additionally, the newspaper Maariv commented on the incident where Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade were killed when their armored personnel carrier (APC), known as Namer, was targeted in Gaza. The newspaper pointed out that this vehicle was supposed to be the advanced armored combat carrier that the Israeli military had been waiting for decades, adding that the substantial investment from the defense budget was supposed to prevent such a disaster.

According to Israeli media, the number of Israeli occupation soldiers killed since the start of the ground incursion into Gaza has risen to 16. The Washington Post mentioned that "Israel on Wednesday began to bury the dead from one of the bloodiest single days for its military in the history of its ground operations in Gaza," with casualties approaching a quarter of the total in the entire 2014 Gaza war that lasted for a month and a half.

Furthermore, Yedioth Ahronoth commented on the previous targeting of Israeli soldiers and their vehicles, stating that the central threat to Israeli forces lies in the anti-tank warfare possessed by the Palestinian Resistance, which is responsible for the casualties.

Israeli occupation Security Minister Yoav Gallant mentioned that the Israeli soldiers killed in the Al-Qassam Brigades' targeting of the APC were attempting to advance north in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier in the day, Palestinian Resistance factions surprised the Israeli occupation forces by bombing the central control and communications tower in the Abu Mteibek site east of central Gaza, marking the 26th day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Al-Qassam fighters said in a statement that its fighters carried out an operation in the Abu Mteibek military site, managing to knock down an Israeli communications tower.

Al-Qassam also revealed that its fighters caught an Israeli infantry force west of the "Erez" crossing in the northern Gaza Strip from behind enemy lines, killing three soldiers point blank.

Moreover, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched several unmanned suicide drones of the al-Zouari model, targeting Israeli military vehicles and gatherings in the western area of al-Nour resort south of Gaza City.
