Palestinian media reported on Monday at dawn that Israeli occupation aircraft and artillery launched “the heaviest bombing since the beginning of the war” on Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, amid fierce confrontations with the Palestinian resistance. It also highlighted that gunfire was reported in the eastern areas between the governorates of Khan Younis and Rafah. 

On the other hand, media outlets released footage showing an Israeli Quadcopter drone targeting Palestinian civilians in the al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Khan Younis. Additionally, the National Resistance Brigades reported engaging in intense confrontations with the occupation forces west of Khan Younis and confronting the occupation near al-Aqsa University.

The resistance fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava tank using a Tandem shell east of Khan Younis and engaged in intense confrontations in Khan Younis. The statement mentioned that several occupation soldiers were killed and injured. 

For its part, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced that it had also targeted a Merkava tank.

The al-Qassam Brigades announced their control of an Israeli Skylark drone during an intelligence mission east of Jabalia al-Balad, north of the Gaza Strip. In a separate operation, the Mujahideen Brigades targeted gatherings of occupation vehicles and soldiers with several heavy-caliber mortar shells, east of Gaza City.

Earlier on Sunday, the former head of the Israeli "National Security" Council, Giora Eiland, affirmed that the retrieval of Israeli captives is not feasible within the frame of the unrealistic objectives that "Israel" has set for the ground invasion. 

In an interview with the Israeli radio Reshet Bet, Eiland acknowledged the difficulty of achieving victory in the war, "as long as there are weapons and ammunition in Gaza, as long as Hamas remains, and as long as there are enough young people ready to fight to the death."

He explained that "Israel" now stands before a harsh crossroads: Either the captives do not return, or to announce formally and practically, the decision to abandon the elimination of Hamas, "with all the ensuing repercussions."

Gaza's Health Ministry announced on Sunday, the 107th day of genocide in the Gaza Strip, that the total death toll of Palestinians killed by the deliberate and indiscriminate bombardment of the Israeli occupation of the Strip has risen to 25,105 martyrs, while the number of injured has increased to 62,681.
