The al-Qassam Brigades and Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades announced carrying out multiple attacks, resulting in the killing and wounding of Israeli Occupation Forces troops in northern and eastern Gaza.
On Tuesday, Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, revealed that they had targeted an Israeli infantry unit consisting of 10 soldiers with a shell in the al-Atatra area of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, on Sunday, leaving them dead or wounded.
Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, announced that on Tuesday afternoon, they detonated a booby-trapped house where a large Zionist force had taken up position in Gaza City’s al-Shujaiya neighborhood.
The al-Quds Brigades stated that the operation site was rigged with explosives, detonated simultaneously, adding, "We confirmed the Zionist unit suffered casualties, with both killed and wounded."
The brigades also announced that their operatives detonated a pre-emplaced barrel bomb, striking an Israeli military transport near logistical routes in northern New Abasan three days prior.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported Tuesday afternoon that two soldiers were critically wounded during clashes in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.
Al-Qassam fighters face the IOF
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, declared on May 25 that they had effectively carried out a high-level military operation against an IOF unit positioned east of the town of al-Qarara in Khan Younis, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
In an official announcement, the brigades disclosed that in the early hours of May 20, their operatives triggered the detonation of a house that had been used as shelter by Israeli soldiers, utilizing several high-powered explosive devices, leading to the complete collapse of the structure and inflicting heavy losses on the Israeli forces, with multiple soldiers reported dead or injured as a result of the operation.
On May 19, the al-Qassam Brigades reported that its fighters executed a meticulously planned ambush operation in the al-Atatra region located to the west of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The al-Qassam Brigades said that its fighters struck three Israeli military vehicles using two "Shawaz" explosives and a "Tandem" shell before clashing with another Israeli force, causing enemy casualties with both killed and wounded, while noting that helicopters landed to evacuate the injured on Friday.
The Palestinian Resistance has been facing off with the Israeli Occupation Army since "Israel" intitated its ground invasion of Gaza, in a bid to intensify the genocide in Gaza.
'Israel' launches ground invasion of Gaza
On May 18, the Israeli military revealed that it had initiated a major ground invasion across both northern and southern Gaza, signaling a significant and intensified escalation in the conflict as part of what it has named "Operation Gideon’s Chariots".
The Israeli occupation forces' (IOF) spokesperson stated that ground troops had launched a widespread invasion across multiple areas of northern and southern Gaza, following intensified airstrikes aimed at weakening the Palestinian Resistance's capabilities.
The IOF claimed its air force had carried out strikes earlier in the week, hitting more than 670 sites throughout the Gaza Strip in what it described as an effort to degrade the operational capabilities of Gaza's resistance factions and pave the way for the ongoing ground offensive.
Earlier on May 19, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that hospitals across the Strip have received 136 martyrs, with 11 of them pulled from under the rubble, along with 364 wounded victims during the past 24 hours.
