The Palestinian Resistance has been engaged in heavy confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in al-Qarara area to the northeast of the city of Khan Younis, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Friday. 

The Resistance has been intensely confronting occupation forces since 5 am on Friday in the southern Gaza Strip, according to our correspondent. Field sources confirmed that Israeli military rescue helicopters evacuated a number of casualties from al-Qarara. Concurrently, Israeli occupation forces attempted to infiltrate the eastern side of the area, attempting to evacuate a number of killed and wounded soldiers.

According to our sources, Israeli attack helicopters intervened and targeted the area in which Resistance fighters confronted the evacuation team after several of the Israeli troops were injured in the operation.

Israeli media outlets confirmed the evacuation of 22 Israeli soldiers injured in the Gaza Strip to Israeli hospitals via helicopters. The management of Soroka Hospital said that more than 10 helicopter landings occurred in the past few hours, transporting injured individuals from the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Resistance factions made several announcements on Friday, confirming that their fighters conducted a number of joint operations and destroyed at least one Israeli Merkava 4 tank.

Fighters of al-Mujahideen Brigade targeted an Israeli Merkava 4 tank with a locally-produced Saeer rocket, destroying the tank to the east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. 

The group's fighters downed an Israeli drone in the southeast axis of Gaza, near the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, with a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile. Al-Mujahideen fighters also engaged in "fierce battles with the enemy" on several fronts of Israeli advancement in the city of Khan Younis.

Al-Quds Brigades

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades, in coordination with fighters from al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, targeted groupings of Israeli troops around the "Erez" crossing to the north of Gaza, with a barrage of 60mm mortar shells.

At 9:00 pm on Friday, al-Quds Brigades fighters fired a large amount of rockets toward occupied Askalan and "Zikim" to the north of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades

In coordination with al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades successfully targeted a grouping of Israeli occupation soldiers and Israeli armored vehicles to the east of the central Gaza Strip. 

The factions also targeted groupings of enemy soldiers and armored vehicles with concentrated rocket barrages in Khan Younis.

The Palestinian Resistance has been confrontation invading Israeli forces since late October 2023, dealing heavy casualties among its forces and military equipment, despite the huge disparity that exists between the two sides in terms of military advancement and their available arsenals.

Palestinian Resistance factions have underscored one of the greatest epics in modern history, maintaining steadfastness in their principles.
