Resistance blows up IOF tanks, vehicles in southern, central Gaza
The Resistance in Gaza continues to engage in fierce confrontations with the invading Israeli forces in the southern and central parts of the Strip.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the Palestinian Resistance is engaged in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in the Khan Younis area and its surroundings, south of the Gaza Strip.
Our correspondent said the Khuza'a area, east of Khan Younis, is witnessing intense confrontations, adding that the Israeli occupation military continues to fail in advancing toward the vicinity of the Nasser Medical Complex in the western part of the city.
In the central part of the Strip, the Palestinian Resistance fiercely confronted the invading Israeli forces, specifically in the vicinity of the Abu Mideen Mosque, southeast of al-Bureij refugee camp.
Meanwhile, al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed that its fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava tank using a Shawaz armor-piercing explosive device, as well as another Israeli tank using an al-Yassin 105 shell.
The Brigades said its Resistance fighters completely destroyed an Israeli military personnel carrier using an al-Yassin 105 shell north of the al-Bureij camp.
Al-Qassam Brigades posted a video showing their mortar units pounding Israeli forces' positions in the areas of their incursion.

On its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, stated that its Resistance fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation soldiers at the advancing axes north and east of the city of Khan Younis.
In addition, the National Resistance Brigades (martyr Omar al-Qassem forces), the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), confirmed intense confrontations with the raiding forces at the central axis of Khan Younis, where its Resistance fighters detonated an explosive device against Israeli forces, causing casualties and injuries among them.
On Friday, the Israeli occupation military confirmed that one of its reserve captains was killed in ground battles in Gaza, while an officer and a soldier from the military engineering college were seriously injured after being targeted by an anti-tank missile in northern Gaza.
It is noteworthy that the number of Israeli occupation soldiers killed since October 7 stands at 502, while those killed since the start of the Israeli ground invasion into Gaza on October 27 have reached 165.
A couple of days ago, the military spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, confirmed that more than 825 Israeli military vehicles have been targeted since the beginning of "Israel's" aggression on Gaza.
