    A screen grab from a video published by the military media of Al-Quds Brigades shows Israeli occupation forces being monitored by Palestinian Resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Resistance continues its operations against Israeli occupation forces in battle zones within the Gaza Strip, with intense confrontations taking place in Gaza City and Khan Younis amid ongoing Israeli attempts to fortify their positions and advance to further locations.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City are witnessing fierce confrontations with heavy machine guns between the Palestinian Resistance fighters and the raiding Israeli forces.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades announced that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation troops and their military vehicles using machine guns and RP-G shells east of Gaza City.

In the past hours, the Brigades' Resistance fighters carried out a series of missions, engaging in fierce confrontations with the occupation forces using machine guns and RP-G shells in Khan Younis and capturing Israeli military equipment from an Israeli force that was holed up in a house west of the city.

In a joint operation, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades targeted a command and control center for the Israeli occupation military in the center of Khan Younis with 120mm mortar shells.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades also shelled Israeli occupation soldiers and their military vehicles north of Gaza with 120mm mortar shells.

In Beit Hanoun, the Brigades' fighters targeted a Quadcopter drone and captured it, and also shelled gatherings of Israeli soldiers and their vehicles with 60mm mortar shells east of the city.

On its part, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, published scenes of its fighters targeting Israeli military positions and supply line east of Khan Younis and northeast of it with mortar shells, achieving accurate hits.

Al-Quds Brigades fighters also targeted the Israeli military gatherings and vehicles in Khan Younis with a barrage of mortar shells.

In the same context, the Al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Al-Mujahideen movement also targeted Israeli military gatherings east of Khan Younis with a number of short-range rockets.

As for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, its spokesperson Abu Obeida pointed out on Friday that for security reasons, the Brigades cut out certain scenes from its broadcasted operations that further demonstrate the Resistance's accomplishments, adding that its fighters are conducting quality and fatal operations, while the nation's resistive powers prevail. 

Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli occupation military confirmed that the number of its troops killed since October 7 has risen to 573, in addition to 2,918 wounded soldiers.

Israeli news sources reported the critical injury of two soldiers from the Maglan special unit in battles in the southern Gaza Strip.

But footage published by the military media of the Palestinian Resistance factions indicates that the losses incurred are much greater than officially declared.
