The Palestinian Resistance continues to confront invading Israeli occupation forces and launch retaliatory rocket attacks on envelope settlements and military sites, amid a recent invasion of Rafah in the southernmost Gaza Strip, most recently announcing they managed to snipe an IOF member.

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced that it targeted IOF gatherings at the Karem Abu Salem Military Site using a 114 mm short-range Rajum missile system.

Al-Qassam also targeted an Israeli infantry force west of the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City, with mortar shells.

Concurrently, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Martyr Abu Ali Moustapha Brigades fired a large barrage of heavy-caliber mortar shells at Israeli occupation forces positioned on the Netzarim Axis, which splits the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of the besieged territory. 

For its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, published scenes documenting the demolition of soldiers and occupation vehicles penetrating east of Rafah.

The expert in Palestinian Resistance affairs, Hani al-Dali, spoke to Al Mayadeen about the developments in the negotiations regarding a ceasefire agreement after the Israeli incursion into eastern Rafah. 

Al-Dali stressed that Hamas will study its options and will not deal with the current proposal presented before the incursion into Rafah, indicating that things will change according to new developments.

He disclosed that the head of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, has brought things back to the very beginning, in an attempt to implement his deadly plan in Rafah, avoiding the great defeat he suffered in Gaza, stressing that he has yet to achieve his goals in seven months.

As for the Netzarim axis, al-Dali confirmed the presence of the US Forces there alongside the Israeli forces, adding that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had received information about the intention of al-Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian Resistance to target American forces.

Al-Dali also noted that al-Qassam Brigades through their posts, sent a message to families of Israeli captives, alerting them that an Israeli invasion into Rafah ends the chances of their children remaining alive.
