On the 28th day of the Palestinian Resistance's defense of the Gaza Strip, fighters eliminated multiple Israeli occupation soldiers from point-blank range and destroyed several armored vehicles on axes of engagement.

Resistance deals consecutive blows to the IOF

Thermobaric rocket-propelled charges have seen more action as Resistance fighters target Israeli occupation forces positions who have taken residential buildings in the northern Gaza Strip as hiding places.

TBG-7 charges are intended to target infantry forces on the battlefield. Thermobaric charges are intended to disperse an amount of fuel in a limited area upon impact, that quickly ignites to form a scorching cloud of extreme heat and pressure. Such charges are much more energetic than other conventional explosives of equal weight.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent confirmed that the commander of the 52nd Battalion, belonging to the 401st Brigade was killed in confrontations north of the Gaza Strip.
