BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The military wings of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement carried out a series of coordinated strikes on Friday, targeting Israeli occupation forces in multiple locations across the southern Gaza Strip, with both groups confirming direct hits and numerous casualties.

The military media of the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released footage of a complex ambush targeting Israeli military vehicles along a key supply line in the al-Zannah area, east of Khan Younis. The operation was described as part of the ongoing Operation Stones of David, which has focused on disrupting Israeli logistics and mobility.

According to al-Qassam, returning fighters reported shelling gatherings of Israeli troops and military vehicles with mortar fire in the Qizan an-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis. Additionally, resistance fighters targeted the settlements of Nirim and Ein HaShlosha east of the city, using the locally developed Rojoum rocket system.

Separately, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the PIJ, announced a complex operation targeting an Israeli command and control center and a special forces unit in western Khan Younis. The attack utilized both a guided Fagot missile and a Malyutka anti-tank missile and was directed at Israeli forces barricaded in multiple buildings near the Salah Abd al-Ghafoor Mosque, north of Street 5.

Resistance fighters reported direct hits, prompting Israeli helicopters to land at the scene under heavy fire and smoke cover to evacuate casualties. According to field reports, the fighters observed the evacuation of both dead and wounded occupation soldiers.

Resistance operations escalate 

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, confirmed on Wednesday that it had destroyed an Israeli military vehicle by detonating a high-explosive "Thaqib" type explosive device, which had been planted earlier in the eastern part of the town of Aabasan, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a joint operation by the al-Quds Brigades and the al-Qassam Brigades, an Israeli soldier was sniped at and killed instantly in Aabasan al-Kabira, with Resistance fighters observing Israeli helicopter activity as troops attempted to evacuate their forces.

The al-Qassam Brigades announced an operation carried out on Tuesday against the Israeli occupation forces, detailing that they targeted a gathering of occupation troops in Khan Younis' western sector with mortar shells while also launching a rocket barrage at the IOF's Mars outpost, east of Khan Younis.

Troop carriers destroyed

Moreover, the al-Qassam Brigades and al-Quds Brigades also conducted a joint operation yesterday, destroying two Israeli troop carriers with a "Shawaz" explosive device in Abasan, causing them to burst into flames and prompting Israeli helicopter evacuation efforts.

Resistance operations extended on Tuesday to Gaza City's al-Shujaiya neighborhood, where the al-Quds Brigades directly hit Israeli troops stationed at Al-Muntar Hill, east of the district, after shelling them with mortar rounds. The al-Quds Brigades additionally seized an Israeli drone while it was conducting surveillance near the Imam Ali Mosque in al-Shujaiya.

The al-Quds Brigades' Military Media released footage documenting the destruction of an Israeli tank with a high-explosive barrel IED during its incursion into Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, showing a fighter preparing the device before the complete annihilation of the tank and its crew in the ensuing explosion.

This comes as "Israel" continues to escalate its genocidal war on Gaza, with dozens of Palestinians being killed on a daily basis across the Strip, and especially around aid distribution points.
