Fighters from various Palestinian Resistance factions launched a series of coordinated attacks on Israeli forces in the northern and central Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties among Israeli soldiers. 

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed a joint operation with al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement. The operation involved engaging an Israeli infantry unit comprising ten soldiers, west of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, using firearms and hand grenades. According to the statement, the Resistance fighters inflicted casualties among the Israeli forces. Additionally, they pursued one fleeing soldier and neutralized him at close range, west of Beit Lahia.

In another operation,  al-Quds Brigades reported an operation that targeted a house in Jabalia refugee camp where several Israeli soldiers had taken position. Before withdrawing, the fighters detonated an explosive device inside the building, causing significant damage. Helicopters were observed evacuating the dead and wounded Israeli troops from the site.

Meanwhile, the Ansar Brigades, the military wing of the Harakat al-Ahrar, and the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced a joint rocket strike on an Israeli command and control site in Juhr al-Dik, south of Gaza City.

The Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, also targeted Israeli troop gatherings in Juhr al-Dik using heavy mortars.

Additionally, the Mujahideen Brigades, the armed wing of the al-Mujahideen Movement, shelled an Israeli command and control center located at the Jabalia Services Club with 60mm mortar shells.

The Resistance groups emphasized the continuation of their operations in response to ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.

Israeli media reported that five Israeli soldiers were transported from Gaza after they were wounded, some in serious and critical condition, in an IED explosion.

Moreover, the Israeli military announced that earlier today, a soldier from the Givati ​​Brigade was seriously injured in battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

Hamas rockets targeting settlements

The Israeli occupation Army Radio reported on Saturday that Hamas had launched approximately 20 rockets from the Gaza Strip over the past nine days. Among these, 14 rockets were fired from the northern part of the territory.

The Israeli army confirmed that sirens were activated in the Netiv HaAsara settlement near Gaza and stated that "the details are under investigation."

Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 12 highlighted that for the ninth consecutive day, sirens were triggered due to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces confirmed that the IOF detected two rockets launched from northern Gaza. According to the statement, one rocket landed near Kibbutz Nir Am, while the other allegedly struck an open area.

Media outlets noted that alarms sounded across Gaza's border areas, marking the eighth consecutive day of rocket fire from the Strip.

Moreover, the military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, announced that it successfully collaborated with the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, in launching a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli Apache helicopter, east of the al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, declared that they had targeted a grouping of Israeli soldiers at the Civil Administration site east of Jabalia camp in northern Gaza with mortar shells.
