Israeli media reported that 24 Israeli soldiers have been eliminated in northern Gaza since the beginning of November, five of whom were killed in the Jabalia refugee camp on Monday.
The Palestinian Resistance continues confronting the Israeli invading forces, particularly in north Gaza, destroying their military vehicles and engaging their soldiers at point-blank, achieving direct hits and fatalities among their ranks.
Al-Qassam's operations
The Martyr izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, claimed Tuesday responsibility for the Jabalia operation, announcing that its fighters detonated a highly explosive device inside a home in the al-Qasasib neighborhood, the moment 10 soldiers raided it, killing and wounding them.
Al-Qassam also announced the execution of a complex operation, during which its fighters sniped an Israeli soldier and targeted an infantry force with two anti-personnel charges, confirming casualties among its soldiers.
Another infantry force that had taken refuge inside a house in the al-Qasasib neighborhood in Jabalia camp was targeted with an anti-personnel shell.
The Resistance fighters additionally launched a TBG anti-fortification shell at an infantry force of seven soldiers inside a house in Beit Lahia, north Gaza, then engaged them at point-blank using machine guns and hand grenades, eliminating the force.
The al-Qassam Brigades also targeted an Israeli Merkava tank using an improvised explosive device (IED), in addition to targeting a military D9 bulldozer with a Tandem charge. The attacks took place around the al-Yaseen Mosque in the Tal al-Zaatar neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip.
The military media of the al-Qassam Brigades released footage documenting the engagement of Resistance fighters with Israeli vehicles in the eastern infiltration axis of the Jabalia refugee camp.
The footage showed three fighters targeting the occupation’s vehicles. One of the Al-Qassam fighters threatened the occupation forces, saying, "We will show you the hell of Jabalia camp."

More deadly operations, ambushes
For its part, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, targeted an Israeli military D9 bulldozer with a Tandem rocket on al-Ajarmah Street in central Jabalia camp.
The Brigades, in cooperation with the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, also fired heavy mortar shells at Israeli soldiers stationed at the al-Rashid site on the Netzarim axis.
This comes after Israeli media reported that an occupation force was ambushed east of Jabalia camp, with helicopters being seen landing to evacuate the wounded and killed on Monday.
It is worth noting that the Jabalia area, located in the northern Gaza Strip, is currently witnessing intense resistance operations despite the ongoing Israeli siege, airstrikes, and artillery shelling around the clock.
Four Kfir soldiers eliminated in Jabalia
The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military also confirmed earlier Tuesday the killing of four soldiers from the Shimshon [Samson] Battalion in the Kfir Brigade, during a battle in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Maariv newspaper reported that the four Israeli soldiers were killed inside a building that was targeted by an anti-tank missile in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, which raises the number of IOF fatalities in Gaza to 787, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority.
On November 7, the Israeli military acknowledged that a soldier from the Nehshon Battalion (90), Kfir Brigade, was critically wounded in battles in the northern Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the occupation military announced the killing of an officer who had been serving as a commander of a squad in the Shaked Battalion, Givati Brigade, due to injuries sustained over a month ago in the southern Gaza Strip.
Additionally, the military confirmed the killing of an officer and three soldiers, and the serious wounding of another officer during ongoing battles in Jabalia, northern Gaza.
Israeli occupation forces admitted that four soldiers were killed in battles in the #Gaza Strip.

'Israel' must end the war on Gaza
Given the significant losses "Israel" is suffering in Gaza, an Israeli Reserve General emphasized the need to end the war on the southern front.
The former head of "Israel's" National Security Council, General (Res.) Giora Eiland, stressed on Tuesday that it is in "Israel's" best interest to end the war in Gaza.
In statements made to the Israeli Channel 12, Eiland said, "The Israeli losses in Gaza are significant. In the past month, 24 soldiers have been killed in Gaza, and many others have suffered serious injuries."
He pointed out that the majority of casualties are young and in their early 20s, stressing that some of them sustained injuries that will disable them for the rest of their lives.
He also highlighted the "immense suffering of thousands of families in Israel due to the many economic challenges."
Eiland stressed that it is clear that Hamas will only release Israeli captives through a comprehensive agreement that includes the end of the war, adding, "Anyone who portrays the situation differently is deceiving the families of the hostages."
