Palestinian Resistance fighters attacked the positions occupied by Israeli occupation forces in the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday. 

In an exceptional operation, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters launched a locally-produced one-way attack drone, al-Zouari, at the Israeli field command and control center in the Netzarim Axis, which splits the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of the besieged territory. 

The attack was launched at 7:30 pm (local time), the Brigades' Military Media Unit explained. 

Al-Qassam fighters returning from the frontlines in the southern city of Khan Younis reported on two operations near the Hamad residential area.

The first announced operation saw al-Qassam fighters fire two tandem rocket-propelled grenades at two Israeli Merkava tanks. The second operation saw al-Qaasam sapper units booby-trap and subsequently detonate a tunnel entrance in the same area, targeting an Israeli force that had arrived at the point of the ambush.

In the context of these operations and others conducted on Wednesday, the Israeli military command said that a soldier in the 401st Armored Brigade's 46th Battalion was killed in the southern Gaza Strip after his armored vehicle was targeted with an anti-tank shell. 

The death of the soldier brings the total death toll of soldiers killed in the Gaza Strip since the ground invasion was launched to 336 and the total number of Israeli troops killed since October 7, 2023, to 695.

Palestinian Resistance factions focused their fire on the Netzarim Axis on Thursday, as both the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's, al-Quds Brigades, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades announced attacks on the strategic sector.

The PFLP's military wing and the al-Ansar Brigades launched a joint mortar attack on the command and control center of Israeli occupation forces in the axis. 

Meanwhile, the PIJ's military wing said that its fighters also launched large-caliber mortar shells on the same command and control rooms. 

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (DFLP) National Resistance Brigades fired their own set of mortar shells, this time targeting Israeli occupation forces positioned to the east of Deir al-Balah in the central  Gaza Strip.
