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.
