The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ), and al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, announced Saturday a joint operation in which they claimed responsibility for sniper operations on an Israeli soldier in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
In a separate statement, the al-Quds Brigades confirmed their participation, alongside the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, in mortar shelling targeting Israeli soldiers and military vehicles along the Netzarim axis.
The Israeli military later acknowledged that one soldier was severely injured during confrontations in central Gaza.
Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades, in coordination with the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, said they had targeted an Israeli D9 military bulldozer with a tandem warhead near al-Quds Open University in Tel Sultan, west of Rafah.
Additionally, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced that they had fired a salvo of 114 mm caliber K132 rockets at Israeli assembly points at the Fajja military site. They also reported attacking supply lines for the Israeli occupation forces in the Netzarim area with a 122 mm caliber Asif rocket.
The Israeli occupation forces, under the "permitted for publication" designation, confirmed the death of a commander from the 906th Battalion in the Bislmach Brigade and the severe injury of another officer. They reported that another two officers had been wounded during fierce battles with Resistance fighters on Saturday morning in Jenin, the northern occupied West Bank.
A few days ago, six funerals were held for soldiers from the occupation army. Five of the soldiers were killed in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing battles on various fronts, while one was killed in the North while serving on a Dvora warship near Nahariya.
As a result, the number of soldiers killed since the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has risen to 705, with 339 of these casualties occurring since the start of the ground battles in the Gaza Strip, based on data that the occupation army has permitted to be released.
Meanwhile, the occupation army continues to withhold information about the full extent of its losses.
