Palestinian Resistance factions conducted a series of operations on the 310th day of the Israeli war on Gaza, dealing casualties among Israeli occupation forces in the besieged territory. 

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades confronted occupation forces in Rafah, the southernmost city of the Gaza Strip, and executed a series of attacks on Sunday. 

Several Israeli soldiers killed, injured in Rafah

Its fighters fired a locally produced tandem rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), al-Yassin, at an Israeli armored personnel carrier (APC) in the Zalata area in eastern Rafah. 

The fighters also targeted an Israeli force that garrisoned itself in a building in the western neighborhood of Tal al-Sultan, firing a thermobaric RPG shell at the building, killing and injuring those inside it. 

Al-Qassam fighters also monitored the movement of an Israeli military rescue helicopter evacuating the Israeli casualties from the targeted area in western Rafah. 

The Resistance faction also revealed that its fighters detonated a high-explosive improvised explosive device, planted in the ground at a previous time, targeting an Israeli infantry force to the east of Rafah.
