The Palestinian Resistance attacked Israeli occupation forces invading and occupying axes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. 

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades detonated two anti-personnel improvised explosive devices (IEDs) into two Israeli military utility vehicles in Tal al-Hawa, a southern neighborhood in Gaza City. Tal al-Hawa has come under multiple Israeli raids in the past months, as occupation forces struggle to assert operational control over the area to the north of the strategic Netzarim Axis.

After detonating the two IEDs, al-Qassam fighters engaged the occupation soldiers present at the point of the ambush with automatic weapons. The Brigades reported that Israeli military rescue helicopters landed nearby to evacuate the Israeli casualties. 

The Israeli military command announced that a reservist officer and the commander of the administrative support company of the 16th Infantry Brigade's 8119th Batallion were killed, with the officer being killed in the IEDs planted by al-Qassam fighters on Saturday. 

Later on Saturday, the Israeli military command announced that another soldier from the same battalion was killed in the Tal al-Hawa ambush. The soldier was part of a convoy to supply troops to Israeli occupation forces raiding the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City with equipment. 

Israeli occupation forces said that Resistance fighters who opened fire on the convoy were able to safely withdraw after conducting the attack. 

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades launched a rocket attack on the Re'im military site in the Gaza Envelope on Saturday. 

Its fighters also engaged Israeli occupation forces invading the northern neighborhoods of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, and also detonated a previously planted high-explosive IED in eastern Gaza City into an Israeli military vehicle in al-Zaytoun neighborhood.
