Heavy fighting broke out Wednesday between Palestinian Resistance groups and Israeli forces in the eastern part of Gaza City, specifically in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, in what was described as the most intense confrontations in recent days, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters targeted three Israeli Merkava 4 tanks near al-Wafa Hospital in eastern al-Tuffah within the past 24 hours. The tanks were struck with Yassin-105 anti-armor RPGs, the group stated.

Two days earlier, Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, claimed responsibility for sniping an Israeli soldier positioned on a hill in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, also located in eastern Gaza City.

In a separate incident, the al-Qassam Brigades reported launching a rocket barrage at the Israeli settlement of Nir Yitzhak in response to what it described as "massacres" committed against Palestinian civilians.

Palestinian resistance groups continue to confront Israeli military incursions and operations across Gaza. Despite the prolonged siege and bombardments, the resistance maintains active engagement on the ground, signaling its resilience in the face of Israel’s military campaign.

Death toll in Gaza nears 51,000 as medical sector collapses

The Israeli war on Gaza continues to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the Strip, as "Israel" continues to enforce a blockade on humanitarian aid and bombing civilian infrastructure, most recently targeting the Baptist Hospital, inflicting severe damage on several departments.

According to the latest figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, 25 people were confirmed killed and 89 others injured over the past 24 hours. Among the dead were three bodies recovered from the rubble. Many more victims remain trapped under debris or on inaccessible roads, where emergency and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.

Since March 18, 2025, Israeli attacks have claimed the lives of 1,652 people and injured 4,391. The cumulative death toll since the beginning of the military campaign on October 7, 2023, has reached 51,025, with 116,432 wounded.
