The military wings of two Palestinian Resistance factions, Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades and Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, have carried out a new wave of attacks in southern Gaza, striking Israeli military positions and vehicles across Khan Younis with heavy mortar fire and "Yassin 105" anti-tank missiles, marking a fresh escalation in the conflict.
Al-Quds Brigades reported that, in cooperation with Al-Qassam Brigades, they shelled a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers and their vehicles in the Jorat al-Lout area south of Khan Younis, using heavy mortar shells as part of a coordinated operation between the two groups.

In a separate statement, Al-Quds Brigades said they had struck Israeli troop concentrations east of the town of Hamad, north of Khan Younis, firing 60mm mortar rounds.
Additionally, Al-Quds Brigades shared footage on its Telegram channel documenting the moment its fighters detonated an Israeli military vehicle that had advanced near the vicinity of the Riyad al-Salihin Mosque east of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, with the high-definition footage clearly showing the targeting and explosion.
Al-Qassam targets Israeli vehicles
Meanwhile, Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades stated that its fighters struck an Israeli military engineering vehicle with a Yassin 105 rocket east of Abasan al-Kabira in southern Gaza's Khan Younis province.
In a related development, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), announced that they had jointly targeted the Israeli military site Nahal Oz east of Gaza City, firing two 107mm rockets in coordination with the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades (the armed faction of the Popular Resistance Committees).
Palestinian Resistance exposes Israeli failure in Gaza: Hamas
Hamas maintained that al-Qassam Brigades' ongoing precision operations with PIJ's al-Quds Brigades show "Israel's" failure to break Palestinian resolve or defeat the Resistance.
In a June 25 statement, the group stated these operations highlight the Resistance’s battlefield dominance, sustained strength, and capacity to inflict heavy costs on "Israel," while holding the Israeli government fully responsible for the stalled negotiations due to deliberately imposed obstacles and prolonged delays that serve Netanyahu’s political interests.
Hamas further condemned the occupation government leader's rhetoric about "absolute victory," rejecting it as an attempt to propagate false narratives and unattainable war goals, particularly what it described as the fantasy of recovering prisoners through military means.
