The Palestinian Resistance engaged Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip for the 136th day, since the latter launched their aggression on the Palestinian territory.

Resistance fighters from multiple Resistance factions launched individual and joint operations in the northern Gaza Strip and Khan Younis in the south. 

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Monday that its sniper units shot down two Israeli occupation soldiers while others targeted an Israeli infantry unit with assault rifles, killing and injuring members of the force positioned to the west of the city of Khan Younis.

Al-Qassam fighters also successfully targeted an Israeli infantry force consisting of 15 troops, positioned in a building in the Hawwas area to the west of Khan Younis. Resistance fighters fired one rocket-propelled grenade and an anti-personnel shell at the force, confirming that the attack resulted in several casualties, while some wounded soldiers could be heard screaming in agony.

In a joint operation, al-Qassam Brigades and al-Mujahideen Brigades fighters targeted a multirole Israeli Hermes 900 drone with a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile to the southwest of Gaza City.

Al-Mujahideen Brigades fighters also launched a joint operation with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades, targeting a convoy of Israeli military vehicles to the east of Jabalia.

Meanwhile, al-Mujahideen Brigades published scenes of its fighters targeting a gathering of occupation soldiers and vehicles east of Jabalia city, northern Gaza Strip, in collaboration with al-Quds Brigades, using a heavy machine gun to do so.

On the other hand, al-Quds Brigades fighters launched several 107 mm-type rockets toward groupings of Israeli soldiers, positioned to the east of the central Gaza Strip, in "Nitzanim".

The Palestinian Resistance continues to directly confront Israeli occupation forces that invaded the Gaza Strip in late October 2023. Despite far-inferior weapons and equipment, these fighters have continued to launch ground operations across several axes in the Gaza Strip, dealing heavy casualties to occupation forces.

Late on Monday, Israeli media outlets said that a soldier serving under the Paratroopers Brigades was killed after he succumbed to his wounds in a hospital. The soldier was wounded at an earlier time in the southern Gaza Strip. His death brings the total number of killed Israeli troops to 575 since October 7.
