On the 177th day of the war, various Palestinian Resistance factions continue to confront Israeli occupation forces and their incursions into the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced that its fighters sniped and injured an Israeli soldier in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in western Gaza City.

Al-Qassam fighters also attacked Israeli soldiers and military vehicles infiltrating the hospital perimeter with heavy-caliber mortar shells and engaged an Israeli Merkava tank with a homemade al-Yassin 105 shell west of Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

The military media of al-Qassam Brigades reposted a video message by Chief of Staff Mohammad Deif on October 7, 2023, urging the Palestinian youths of the West Bank to resist the Israeli occupation with all means available.
