The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, confirmed on Wednesday that it had destroyed an Israeli military vehicle by detonating a high-explosive "Thaqib" type explosive device, which had been planted earlier in the eastern part of the town of Aabasan, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a joint operation by the al-Quds Brigades and the al-Qassam Brigades, an Israeli soldier was sniped at and killed instantly in Aabasan al-Kabira, with Resistance fighters observing Israeli helicopter activity as troops attempted to evacuate their forces.
The al-Qassam Brigades announced an operation carried out on Tuesday against the Israeli occupation forces, detailing that they targeted a gathering of occupation troops in Khan Younis' western sector with mortar shells while also launching a rocket barrage at the IOF's Mars outpost, east of Khan Younis.
Troop carriers destroyed
Moreover, the al-Qassam Brigades and al-Quds Brigades also conducted a joint operation yesterday, destroying two Israeli troop carriers with a "Shawaz" explosive device in Abasan, causing them to burst into flames and prompting Israeli helicopter evacuation efforts.
Resistance operations extended on Tuesday to Gaza City's al-Shujaiya neighborhood, where the al-Quds Brigades directly hit Israeli troops stationed at Al-Muntar Hill, east of the district, after shelling them with mortar rounds. The al-Quds Brigades additionally seized an Israeli drone while it was conducting surveillance near the Imam Ali Mosque in al-Shujaiya.
Moreover, the al-Quds Brigades' Military Media released footage documenting the destruction of an Israeli tank with a high-explosive barrel IED during its incursion into Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, showing a fighter preparing the device before the complete annihilation of the tank and its crew in the ensuing explosion.
This comes as "Israel" continues to escalate its genocidal war on Gaza, with dozens of Palestinians being killed on a daily basis across the Strip, and especially around aid distribution points.
More than 80 killed in Gaza, 65 gunned down at aid site
Israeli strikes on Tuesday killed more than 80 Palestinians across Gaza, including a devastating single attack in Khan Younis that claimed 65 lives in the southern Strip, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported over 60 fatalities, with hundreds more wounded, many critically, in Khan Younis after Israeli forces directly targeted starving Palestinians gathered at the Desalination Roundabout, where crowds had assembled in hopes of receiving humanitarian aid.
On Monday, at least 50 Palestinians were killed, including 23 gunned down near a US-sponsored aid distribution site in Rafah, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health. More than 200 others were wounded in the same massacre, one of several deadly attacks in recent days that have targeted starving civilians in search of humanitarian aid.
The shootings occurred near a facility operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial aid mechanism established under US sponsorship and directly coordinated with Israeli occupation forces. The GHF has become a centerpiece of a new, militarized aid model imposed after "Israel" partially eased its three-month siege. However, this model has increasingly been linked to mass killings, sparking outrage from humanitarian organizations and Palestinians alike.
