Preceding the Israeli occupation forces' invasion of Rafah on Monday night, the Palestinian Resistance conducted a multitude of operations.
Amid the invasion, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades targeted the Israeli settlement city of Sderot, Kibbutz Nir Am, and other settlements with several salvos of rockets. The settlements are located to the northeast of the Gaza Strip.
As a result, sirens sounded in Sderot, Nir Am, Mefalsim, and Gevim, at 11:00 pm (local time).
Al-Qassam's Rajoum MLR plague Israeli occupation forces
Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades launched multiple attacks on Israeli occupation forces and worked jointly with several factions to complete a number of operations.
Following Sunday's attack on the Karem Abu Salem border crossing, which was executed using locally-produced Rajoum 114 mm Multiple Rocket Launchers (MRLs), al-Qassam Brigades continued to use the launcher to target the Israeli military on Monday.
Al-Qassam fighters targeted the Netzarim Axis, splitting the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of the besieged territory, with multiple short-rage Rajoum rockets on Monday morning.
Later, the Brigades launched a joint operation with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command's (PFLP-GC) Martyr Jihad Jibril Brigades, targeting Israeli occupation forces in the same area with 107 mm short-range rockets.
In another joint operation, the two factions' mortar units launched an attack on Israeli occupation forces positioned in Netzarim.
Soon after, al-Qassam fighters launched yet another attack on the Axis using 107 mm rockets. Operations on Netzarim did not stop there, as multiple other factions targeted the Axis in their own rocket and mortar attacks.

Occupiers in Netzarim face Monday hell
On Monday morning, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades launched a concentrated rocket attack on occupation forces positioned in the Axis.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades launched two attacks on the Axis. The first came in coordination with al-Mujahideen Brigades fighters, firing multiple rockets toward the area.
Later, Abu Ali Mustapha fighters launched another salvo of rockets toward the Axis, while al-Mujahideen Brigades launched an attack on the Israeli command post in Netzarim.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (DFLP) National Resistance Brigades launched 120 mm mortar shells toward the Israeli Sufa military site to the east of Rafah, which contains a parking lot for Israeli military vehicles.
Al-Quds Brigades execute multi-dimensional operations
On the other hand, al-Quds Brigades fighters continued to execute concentrated and multidimensional attacks against Israeli forces.
In one operation, an al-Quds Brigades' sniper team shot down an Israeli occupation soldier positioned to the east of al-Shujaiya neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Brigades' mortar units also achieved direct hits to Israeli assets in Netzarim on Monday noon.
At 7:00 pm, rocket units launched an attack on Sderot and Mefalsim, as sirens went off in Gevim.
The Brigades then launched a mortar attack from the southwestern side of Gaza City, on the Netzarim Axis.
It is worth noting that the area from which the attack was launched was heavily bombarded and later invaded by Israeli occupation forces for months, showing the Resistance's ability to renew operations from supposedly "cleansed" areas.
