The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, announced on Monday that its fighters successfully destroyed an Israeli military vehicle using a pre-planted Thaqib explosive device in the Abu Hudhaf area, northeast of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a brief statement, the brigades declared, "Your vehicles have become ruins," a reference to the ongoing Israeli military operation dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots”, launched months ago with the stated aim of fully occupying the Gaza Strip, dismantling the Resistance, and forcibly displacing the population of Gaza.

The operation has failed to achieve any of its strategic goals, according to Israeli officials themselves.

In a separate operation, the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), said they destroyed an Israeli armored personnel carrier in coordination with the al-Quds Brigades. The operation involved an anti-armor explosive device detonated on al-Montar Street, east of the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in northern Gaza City.

The brigades confirmed that the explosion resulted in casualties among the crew, with members either killed or injured, and emphasized that the operation was part of a continuing response to the crimes committed by the occupation against the Palestinian people.

These operations reflect the ongoing resistance to Israeli incursions into Gaza and serve as a direct response to the prolonged aggression and blockade. The Resistance factions stress that such attacks have led to significant losses among Israeli forces on multiple fronts.
