Several Palestinian Resistance factions released video footage on Sunday documenting coordinated military operations targeting Israeli occupation forces across the Gaza Strip, including attempts to capture soldiers and destroy armored vehicles. 

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, published footage of a combined operation in the Abasan al-Kabira area, east of Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The operation targeted an Israeli armored personnel carrier and, according to the group, was aimed at capturing Israeli soldiers.

In a related operation, the group also struck an Israeli military site near Street 5, north of Khan Younis. The footage shows a helicopter landing in the area under cover of gunfire and smoke grenades, suggesting an Israeli effort to evacuate casualties from the scene.

Separately, al-Mujahideen Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, announced it had successfully targeted an Israeli Merkava tank in Gaza City’s eastern al-Shujaiya neighborhood using a powerful Homeim 2 explosive device planted along a patrol route.

Al-Qassam operations increase against Israelis

Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, shared on Saturday footage of its fighters attacking Israeli forces and vehicles in the northern city of Jabalia. The operation was part of its ongoing campaign titled Daoud’s Stones, which includes ambushes, anti-tank strikes, and close-quarters attacks.

Al-Quds Brigades also showcased footage of a separate operation in which a high-explosive device was used to destroy an Israeli military vehicle east of al-Shujaiya, adding to the string of Resistance attacks launched across the Gaza frontlines.

These operations come amid "Israel's" continued aggression and siege on the Gaza Strip, where occupation forces are facing increasingly sophisticated and coordinated Resistance tactics. Despite overwhelming firepower and air superiority, the Israeli military continues to suffer losses in personnel and equipment due to persistent and targeted ambushes by Gaza-based fighters.

Israeli forces admit to staggering losses

The Israeli military announced that on Saturday in the southern Gaza Strip, two reserve combat engineers were seriously wounded when a roadside bomb exploded.

The Israeli army detailed that the officer is from the Engineering Corps' 710th Battalion, part of the 179th Ram Division, while the wounded soldier serves in the 749th Engineering Battalion under the 828th Bislach Brigade. An IOF investigation revealed that the soldiers were struck by an explosive device during their patrol in a Humvee.

The military stated that both soldiers were evacuated to a hospital for medical care and that their families have been informed.

This comes as Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to carry out operations and ambushes against Israeli forces across multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip, inflicting both human and material losses on the occupation.

Resistance dealing heavy casualties

Meanwhile, in a video statement on Friday, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida emphasized that their current strategy focuses on dealing heavy casualties to the Israeli occupation forces and capturing soldiers.

In a video statement on Friday, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, emphasized that the Palestinian Resistance's strategic priority at this stage is to maximize enemy casualties while simultaneously working to capture Israeli soldiers, as the conflict continues across multiple fronts in Gaza.

Abu Obeida emphasized that al-Qassam's fighters continue to outmaneuver the enemy with innovative tactics, applying lessons learned from what has become the longest and most grueling war in Palestinian history.

He issued a stark warning to the Israeli government, stating that its refusal to end hostilities would only result in more military casualties, with an unrelenting procession of soldiers' and officers' coffins returning home.
