Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Khan Younis reported that the Resistance is engaged in fierce confrontations in response to the occupation's incursion in the eastern areas of the city, southern Gaza Strip. This comes after an attempted incursion by the occupation forces, who had previously withdrawn from the same area a few days ago. The Palestinian Resistance continues its epic confrontations, carrying out special operations and launching rocket salvos as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which has entered its 304th day.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed that they engaged directly with an Israeli occupation ground force of 9 soldiers from close range, causing casualties among them in the eastern al-Farahin neighborhood of Khan Younis, which is just a few dozen meters away from the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories where the occupation forces are stationed.

In eastern al-Farahin, the al-Qassam Brigades detonated an anti-personnel device against an Israeli occupation force that had fortified itself inside a building, causing definite casualties among its members. Confrontations in the area remain ongoing as the occupation forces have not withdrawn.

In the same region, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli occupation military bulldozer of the D9 type with an al-Yasin 105 missile.

In eastern Rafah, also in the southern part of the Strip, the al-Qassam Brigades detonated two anti-personnel and anti-vehicle devices against an engineering occupation force in the Zalatah area, causing definite casualties.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades bombarded the Israeli occupation soldiers and their advancing vehicles in eastern Rafah with heavy mortar shells.

The forces of martyr Omar al-Qassem, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers and their vehicles around the Rafah crossing with heavy mortar shells.

Joint Operations

In the context of cooperation between various military wings of Palestinian Resistance factions, the Al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Mujahideen Movement, along with the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, targeted the Re'im settlement with a rocket barrage earlier today.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the forces of martyr Omar Al-Qassem shelled the Israeli supply line in the Netzarim axis, southwestern Gaza City, with heavy mortar shells.

In another joint operation, the forces of martyr Omar al-Qassem, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, targeted Israeli occupation positions in Nahal Oz with a rocket barrage.

In a second joint operation between the forces of martyr Omar al-Qassem and the al-Quds Brigades, they shelled the Be'eri settlement, the eastern Gaza Strip, with a rocket barrage.

The three operations achieved confirmed hits.

Rockets still launch toward Gaza Envelope

Earlier, Israeli media reported a severe incident involving Israeli occupation soldiers in Rafah.

According to details provided by Israeli media, 7 soldiers were injured in the incident due to an explosion in Rafah, including 2 soldiers with very serious injuries, 4 others with serious injuries, and 1 soldier with moderate injuries.

Simultaneously, Israeli media reported the launch of 15 rockets toward the Gaza Envelope 304 days into the war on Gaza.

Israeli media noted that two injuries resulted from the recent rocket barrages from Gaza toward the Envelope which landed in Eshkol and the other in Re'im.

In turn, Yedioth Ahronoth pointed out that the Resistance in the Gaza Strip managed to launch about 60 rockets over the past 4 days toward the Gaza Envelope, at medium distances, as occurred yesterday with the rocket attack targeting Ashdod.

The latest barrage of rockets was launched from Khan Younis, which the Israeli occupation forces had withdrawn from just a week ago.
