The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, announced, on Sunday, that it launched a mortar shell barrage targeting the gatherings of Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles that had infiltrated locations in the al-Jeneina neighborhood, east of Rafah.

The brigades had previously announced the detonation of three pre-planted explosive devices targeting Israeli vehicles as they advanced several days ago in the vicinity of the Tunis School and near the Martyr Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi Mosque in southern al-Shujaiya, Gaza City.

It confirmed the destruction of an Israeli military vehicle with a pre-planted Thaqeb-type explosive device during its advance around the al-Nada Towers in the Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza.

For its part, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters managed to snipe at an Israeli occupation soldier in the infiltration, axis east of Jabalia al-Balad, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Additionally, the forces of Martyr Omar al-Qassem, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, targeted Israeli occupation forces stationed in the al-Jeneina neighborhood, east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, also with mortar shells.

Resistance in the heart of Jabalia

The Palestinian Resistance has been relentlessly fighting for over a year across Gaza, recently intensifying their operations and battles in Jabalia and the northern part of Gaza, as Israeli atrocities particularly devastate the area.

Against all odds, highlighting the spirit of resistance, the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip resumed its operations and humanitarian services in Jabalia al-Balad and al-Nazla, prioritizing the urgent needs of citizens in northern Gaza. This effort aims to ensure continued support for those in the area despite the ongoing Israeli genocide.

Raed Dahshan, Director of the Civil Defense in Gaza Governorate, confirmed that a collaborative effort between Gaza and the northern governorates enabled the deployment of a firefighting vehicle, equipped with rescue tools and staffed by personnel who had been displaced from the northern regions to Gaza City. This allowed them to continue assisting local communities in need.

Dahshan emphasized that the Civil Defense took this action despite the substantial risks to its teams, as invading Israeli units have prevented the Civil Defense from operating in the northern governorate for over a month while intensifying attacks on residents.

The number of distress calls from the area has surged, highlighting the increasing humanitarian crisis.
