Palestinian Resistance destroys IOF vehicles, targets settlements

For the 35th day in a row, the Palestinian Resistance continued to target Israeli occupation military vehicles and forces attempting to infiltrate the Gaza Strip and shelled illegal Israeli settlements with rockets and artillery, causing significant casualties.

On the northwestern front of Gaza City, al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its Resistance fighters destroyed two Israeli tanks using Yassin 105 rockets.

On the same front, the al-Qassam Brigades also confirmed the destruction of an Israeli tank in the Twaim area, as well as another one in the north of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

To the west of Gaza City, the Brigades destroyed three Israeli armored vehicles and an Israeli bulldozer on the outskirts of the al-Shati refugee camp using Yassin 105 rockets.

In the southeast of the city, al-Qassam Brigades reported ambushing an Israeli occupation infantry unit in the Deir al-Balah area and announced that their fighters targeted Israeli soldiers with an anti-personnel rocket and engaged them at point-blank.

Furthermore, the Brigades targeted the Israeli military base of "Re'im" in the Gaza envelope with a salvo of rockets and launched an intensive rocket attack on the occupied city of Asdoud in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), also announced targeting occupied Asdoud with a salvo of rockets.

Al-Quds Brigades shelled Israeli military vehicles advancing to the west of the Ansar government complex to the west of Gaza City with a number of mortar shells. The Resistance fighters also targeted Israeli military vehicles near the Site 17 location northwest of Gaza City with the same type of shells.
