Palestinian Resistance factions continue to confront the incursions of Israeli occupation forces in various areas in Gaza, from Jabalia in the north of the Strip to the al-Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, and Rafah City in the southern part of the Strip, attacking Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles.

Jabalia

Since Sunday morning, Palestinian Resistance fighters have engaged in fierce confrontations with the occupation forces in eastern Jabalia Camp in northern Gaza.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced engaging and destroying 10 Israeli military vehicles, including nine tanks and one armored personnel carrier after they penetrated eastward into Jabalia. The Brigades also shelled Israeli occupation forces' gatherings and vehicles in the area with heavy mortar fire.

In detail, al-Qassam fighters carried out a complex operation near the al-Mabhouh site, east of Jabalia Camp, targeting a Merkava tank with an al-Yassin 105 rocket. The occupation forces then fled to a house that was already booby-trapped by the Resistance, which resulted in casualties among their ranks.

In another complex operation, al-Qassam fighters engaged an Israeli special force with an explosive device and hit an Israeli armored personnel carrier with a Tandem shell east of Jabalia City, confirming casualties among the force's ranks.

Al-Qassam fighters attacked another Israeli special force entrenched in a house near the Mazaya Hall, east of Jabalia Camp, with TBG shells, causing casualties among the force, and targeted a Merkava 4 tank with an al-Yassin 105 rocket in the same area.

At the al-Mabhouh site, the Brigades engaged an Israeli tank with an al-Yassin 105 rocket, causing it to catch fire, and targeted the advancing Israeli forces there with mortar shells. At the same location, al-Qassam fighters bombarded an assembly of Israeli occupation forces and their military vehicles with heavy mortar shells.

Al-Qassam Brigades announced directly targeting an Israeli Merkava tank with an anti-tank missile, east of Jabalia Camp, with its military media later publishing footage of the operation.
