For the 35th day in a row, the Palestinian Resistance continued to target Israeli occupation military vehicles and forces attempting to infiltrate the Gaza Strip and shelled illegal Israeli settlements with rockets and artillery, causing significant casualties.

On the northwestern front of Gaza City, al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its Resistance fighters destroyed two Israeli tanks using Yassin 105 rockets.

On the same front, the al-Qassam Brigades also confirmed the destruction of an Israeli tank in the Twaim area, as well as another one in the north of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

To the west of Gaza City, the Brigades destroyed three Israeli armored vehicles and an Israeli bulldozer on the outskirts of the al-Shati refugee camp using Yassin 105 rockets.

In the southeast of the city, al-Qassam Brigades reported ambushing an Israeli occupation infantry unit in the Deir al-Balah area and announced that their fighters targeted Israeli soldiers with an anti-personnel rocket and engaged them at point-blank.

Furthermore, the Brigades targeted the Israeli military base "Re'im" in the Gaza envelope with a salvo of rockets and launched an intensive rocket attack on the occupied city of Asdoud in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), also announced targeting occupied Asdoud with a salvo of rockets.

Al-Quds Brigades shelled Israeli military vehicles advancing to the west of the Ansar government complex to the west of Gaza City with a number of mortar shells. The Resistance fighters also targeted Israeli military vehicles near the Site 17 location northwest of Gaza City with the same type of shells.

Earlier, the military spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced that a female Israeli soldier was killed and a male soldier sustained moderate injuries in an Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip.

On his part, the military spokesperson for al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, announced in a televised speech on Thursday that the Israeli occupation bears full responsibility for the lives of the captives held by the Resistance group in Gaza amid its savage bombing of the Strip.

Abu Hamza announced the Resistance's readiness to release two Israeli captives on humanitarian and health grounds, Hanna Katsir and Yagil Yaqoub.

He declared that al-Quds Brigades is "an integral part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood," confirming that the group's Resistance fighters are fighting "shoulder to shoulder with our brothers in [Hamas'] al-Qassam Brigades."

It is worth noting that the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military spokesperson confirmed that 354 soldiers and officers have been killed since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7.

This comes as the White House announced on Thursday that the Israeli occupation will begin to implement 4-hour pauses in Gaza to allow people to "flee hostilities".

The pauses, according to White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby, were the fruit of talks between American and Israeli officials in the past several days, including conversations between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to Kirby, the pauses would let people "escape danger", permit the delivery of humanitarian goods, and even serve as a means of freeing captives.

However, Taher el-Nounou, the media advisor to the head of the Hamas politburo, told Al Mayadeen that the declaration of the 4-hour ceasefire was one-sided and that Hamas has no trust in the Israeli occupation due to previous experiences, expressing his belief that the 4-hour ceasefire is nothing but a smokescreen.
