The Palestinian Resistance in Gaza continues to confront Israeli occupation forces, inflicting further losses on them, particularly in Beit Lahia and Jabalia in the northern part of the Strip, where the occupation persists in its siege and repeatedly commits massacres against civilians.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed that its fighters destroyed two Israeli Merkava tanks, one with a high-explosive device near the Razan intersection and another with a barrel bomb near the Sakafi intersection in the Beit Lahia project area.

Upon returning from the front lines, the al-Qassam fighters confirmed targeting a third Merkava with an al-Yassin 105 shell in the Beit Lahia project area as well.

In the same area, the al-Qassam fighters detonated an Israeli armored personnel carrier and targeted a Merkava 3 tank with two Shawaz explosive devices. Subsequently, they targeted a maintenance crew as it arrived at the vehicles' locations using an anti-personnel device that left several casualties and injuries among the occupation forces.

In the Jabalia camp, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted two Israeli D9 military bulldozers with two tandem shells and a third with an al-Yassin 105 shell on Trans Street.

In parallel, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades targeted groupings of occupation forces northeast of the Eastern Cemetery, east of Gaza City, with mortar shells.

The Abdel Qader al-Husseini Brigades also targeted occupation groupings east of Jabalia camp with 60mm mortar shells.

Joint op by multiple factions

In coordination with various Palestinian resistance factions, the al-Quds Brigades (the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad), the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades (the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), and the al-Amoudi Brigade of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades renewed their bombardment of Israeli command and control sites in the Netzarim area southwest of Gaza City with a barrage of 107 rockets and heavy-caliber mortar shells.

In addition, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli heavy armored personnel carrier (Achzarit) with an al-Yassin 105 shell, an armored Hummer with an anti-armor shell, and a D9 military bulldozer with a ground-laid explosive device northeast of the Eastern Cemetery, east of Gaza City.

Previously, the al-Quds Brigades had bombarded the occupation's command and control sites across the Netzarim area with a salvo of 107mm rockets and had targeted Israeli gatherings south of Juhr al-Dik with multiple 60mm mortar rounds.
