    An Israeli military rescue helicopter transport Israeli troops who were either killed or injured as a result of the Resistance's operations in al-Shujaiya, Gaza City, Palestine, as seen in footage released on July 4, 2024 (al-Qassam Brigades/Military Media)

Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to confront Israeli occupation forces in the besieged Gaza Strip, despite the difficult circumstances experienced after 272 days of war. 

The most intense fighting occurred in the eastern neighborhood of al-Shujaiya in Gaza City, where multiple factions engaged Israeli forces, utilizing a variety of weapons to do so. 

Al-Shujaiya ambush leads to casualties among Israeli troops

As Hezbollah executes one of the largest scale rocket barrages and launches a swarm of drones that targeted more than 10 Israeli bases and barracks on the northern front, Israeli occupation forces struggle to maintain a foothold in the small neighborhood of al-Shujaiya. 

Rescue helicopters were seen landing near the neighborhood to transport Israeli casualties on multiple occasions in the past two days, marking the potency of al-Shujaiya fighters' operations. 

At least one Israeli soldier, from the Paratroopers Brigade's 101st Battalion was killed in confrontations in al-Shujiaya. In the central Gaza Strip, a fighter from the 3rd Alexandroni Brigade's 8101st Battalion was seriously injured. 

Direct confrontations

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades said that its fighters cooperated with al-Quds Brigades fighters to detonate an explosively formed penetrator (EFP), of the locally-produced Shawaz-type, into a Merkava 4 tank deployed in the neighborhood. 

Another Merkava 4 tank was struck by an al-Yassin tandem rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in the neighborhood by an al-Qassam fighter. 

Moreover, al-Qassam fighters ambushed an Israeli force in the neighborhood, causing casualties among its members. Rescue helicopters were seen landing nearby to transport those killed or injured in the ambush. 

On its part, al-Quds Brigades' Military Media Unit reported on several operations conducted by Resistance fighters who had returned from the frontlines. 

It said that a group of its fighters detonated a Thaqeb-type barrel-type EFP into an Israeli military vehicle.
