Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced on Tuesday morning that its fighters targeted an Israeli occupation military force infiltrating the northern Gaza Strip, the Resistance group said in a statement.
The operation reportedly involved the use of “Al-Yassin 105” rockets, resulting in the destruction of an Israeli vehicle east of the "Erez" border crossing, the statement added.
This comes after the Israeli land invasion waged against Gaza along three axes was forced back by the Resistance, which confirmed that the occupation's soldiers suffered casualties in the process.

Additionally, the Resistance managed to inflict casualties among IOF advancing from the direction of the "Kerem Abu Salem" site east of Rafah.
The situation escalated further when Israeli forces were forced to retreat under Resistance fire from Salah al-Din Street, located east of al-Zeitoun neighborhood, which saw the direct targeting of an Israeli tank, one armored personnel carrier, and two military vehicles.
