The Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip persists in repelling Israeli occupation forces, which have so far sustained significant losses in both equipment and lives, with the death toll of Israeli occupation soldiers reaching 590 since the onset of the war, according to the underreported Israeli numbers.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported, on Saturday, that Israeli occupation forces are withdrawing from the northern part of Hamad city in Khan Younis, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, under artillery cover. This withdrawal occurred amidst the intensified confrontations led by the Resistance against the Israeli occupation forces on the 162nd day of aggression.

Additionally, our correspondent highlighted that the Resistance is conducting fierce confrontations with occupation forces in the cities of Zahraa and Maghraqa in central Gaza.
