Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas, said that its fighters confronted an Israeli infantry force, of 15 troops, in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip. Al-Qassam fighters were able to eliminate members of the infantry force in close-quarters battles, on Thursday. 

The Brigades also targeted a Merkava tank, using a tandem charge rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), near the al-Saftawi area, west of the Jabalia camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, in cooperation with the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, reported targeting Israeli occupation soldiers and the Abu Arayban site in the Netzarim axis with mortar shells.

Furthermore, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that "fierce confrontations continue between the Resistance and the occupation army in northern Gaza."

The Israeli occupation army later acknowledged that a soldier from the Givati ​​Brigade was killed during a battle in the northern Gaza Strip.

IOF admit failure, acknowledge no sufficient troops to control Gaza

On a similar note, the Israeli occupation admitted, yesterday, that it lacks the sufficient number of troops needed to control the Gaza Strip. This admission was detailed in an article by Israeli journalist Bini Aschkenasy on the Israeli media website, Walla.

According to the report, last week, Israeli occupation forces submitted their response to the Supreme Court regarding the issue of allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza. The response also highlighted the limited troop numbers, which make controlling the territory challenging.

The Israeli occupation's Attorney General’s office, representing the IOF, according to the report, stated that the current size of the forces and the nature of the occupation army’s activities do not allow for effective control over the Gaza Strip.

The office emphasized that the IOF do not yet have effective control over Gaza and that Hamas' ability to exercise governmental authority has not been fully undermined.
