The Palestinian Resistance intensified Wednesday its operations targeting the so-called Netzarim axis established by the Israeli occupation forces in the northern-central area of the Gaza Strip, utilizing artillery weapons.
Palestinian media reported that several Israeli military aircraft were observed evacuating wounded Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, struck Israeli forces stationed along the Netzarim axis several times with heavy-caliber mortar shells and with the 114mm short-range Rajoom rocket system.
The Brigades also attacked Israeli occupation forces' gatherings near Kibbutz Holit in Gaza Envelope with the 114 mm short-range Rajoom rocket system.

On its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, confirmed that its fighters bombarded an Israeli military command and control center with mortar shells near the Turkish Friendship Hospital along the supply route to the Netzarim axis.
Al-Quds Brigades also engaged Israeli occupation soldiers and their military vehicles with a barrage of mortar shells in the vicinity of the Sheikh Ajleen area, southwest of Gaza City (near the area where US troops are constructing the aid pier).
Moreover, Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), announced that its artillery unit bombarded Israeli military gatherings in the vicinity of Netzarim with mortar shells in response to Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
Touching on the Holit operation carried out by al-Qassam Brigades, Palestinian Resistance affairs expert Hani al-Dali believed that it carries important messages to the Israeli occupation.

Al-Dali told Al Mayadeen that the timing of the Holit operation, coinciding with "Israel's" reported readiness to invade the southern city of Rafah, holds significant implications, foremost among them being the high combat readiness and preparedness of the Palestinian Resistance.
The expert pointed out that al-Qassam using the Rajoom rocket system signals that the Brigades has prepared itself for prolonged fighting across all levels, drawing on all past experiences.
He added that the battlefield may witness top-tier operations by the Resistance in Gaza in the coming days, according to al-Dali, reminiscent of the momentum of operations at the outset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Resistance has enough resources to manage the battle
On Tuesday, al-Dali told Al Mayadeen that the Resistance's operations against Israeli military bases and troops in all axes of Netzarim indicate a clear imbalance in favor of the Resistance.
Al-Dali confirmed that the Resistance has the firepower capability to target Israeli sites and possesses rockets that can reach beyond the occupied city of Asdod, revealing that the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza has a huge number of rockets in its arsenal, as well as tunnels to manage the ongoing battle.
He also pointed out that al-Qassam Brigades in particular is refraining from intensively using medium and long-range rockets against the Israeli occupation at this time, and is instead waiting for the appropriate time to do so.
