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.
