The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced in a statement that its Resistance fighters have succeeded in destroying 35 military vehicles, either fully or partially, over the past four days.

The Brigades confirmed the killing of 48 Israeli soldiers and the injury of dozens with varying degrees of severity. Additionally, the Resistance fighters executed 24 military operations targeting Israeli forces with shells and fortified explosives, engaging in direct confrontations with the raiding forces at close range while targeting their rescue teams.

The statement mentioned that al-Qassam fighters blew up two tunnels after being boobytrapped taking out soldiers of the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps unit, known as Yahalom, who were in there, in addition to detonating landmines among Israeli troops and military vehicles.

Moreover, the al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for six sniper operations that targeted Israeli soldiers in various areas in the Gaza Strip, adding that Resistance fighters bombarded headquarters, command rooms, and military gatherings of the Israeli occupation forces using short-range rockets across all fighting axes.

The Palestinian Resistance also targeted "Tel Aviv" with a salvo of missiles.

The Brigades also highlighted that its snipers shot three Israeli soldiers, one of whom held the rank of a major, in the al-Kasasib neighborhood of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

The Resistance fighters successfully targeted a special Israeli force of 10 soldiers fortified inside a building in the Juhr al-Dik area in central Gaza with an anti-fortification TBG shell, resulting in deaths and injuries among the raiding forces.

In another operation, al-Qassam fighters detonated an anti-personnel device among infiltrating Israeli infantry soldiers in the Juhr al-Dik area, confirming the killing of six soldiers and injuring others.

The Resistance fighters also targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks with al-Yassin 105 shells on the outskirts of Jabalia and a third tank in the al-Kasasib neighborhood.

In the same context, al-Qassam released footage of intense battles against the invading Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip depicting fierce confrontations and operations against occupation soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip.

The footage showed intensive sniper operations using Dragunov and Ghoul sniper rifles, causing confirmed injuries among Israeli forces.

The al-Qassam Brigades also used guided Cornet missiles, targeting houses that occupation soldiers barricaded in. Additionally, Resistance fighters carried out offensive operations using machine guns and shells against Israeli infantry forces, leading to the raiding forces' withdrawal from the houses they were barricading in, leaving behind traces of blood, weapons, and war gear, all seized by al-Qassam fighters.

Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli occupation military confirmed that one reserve armored officer was killed in battles in northern Gaza. Prior to that, it confirmed that another Israeli soldier was killed during battles in the Gaza Strip, raising the number of soldiers killed in battles with the Palestinian Resistance over the weekend to 15.

Israeli media described the death toll of its army during the past 24 hours as "the biggest tragedy since the Israeli ground incursion" into the Gaza Strip.
