Palestinian Resistance factions continue to confront the Israeli occupation forces across multiple battlefronts, particularly in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and Jabalia. They continue to target Israeli soldiers and their vehicles, engaging in intense confrontations and wielding a variety of weapons.

The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, declared that they successfully eliminated 15 Israeli soldiers. Their operation involved storming a house where a significant number of soldiers were fortified, confronting them with machine guns and grenades. The operations peaked with the detonation of an anti-personnel device in the al-Tanour neighborhood, east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

This Resistance operation comes amid ongoing confrontations with the occupation forces storming east of the city of Rafah.

In a related development, the al-Qassam Brigades reported that they successfully targeted an Israeli Merkava 4 tank using an Al-Yassin 105 shell in the al-Tanour neighborhood, located east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip. Additionally, the movement announced in a separate statement that they launched mortar shells targeting Israeli occupation forces at the Rafah land crossing.

Meanwhile, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades declared that they unleashed a barrage of heavy mortar shells, targeting Israeli occupation soldiers and vehicles near the "al-Tabe'in Mosque" east of Rafah, situated in the southern region of the Gaza Strip.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs further declared that they had struck an Israeli military vehicle with an RPG in the forward axis east of Jabalia, confirming a direct hit.

Likewise, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades indicated that it had targeted, with a missile salvo, in cooperation with the Martyr Jihad Jebril Brigades the "Meghan" military site, east of the Central Governorate in the Gaza Strip.

Violent battles in the northern Gaza Strip

In turn, Israeli media confirmed that the Israeli “army” is fighting the “violent” battles to date with the Hamas movement, in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces characterized the confrontations in Jabalia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, as some of the most intense in the ongoing war. Hamas Resistance fighters unleashed a barrage of RPGs at Israeli tanks and armored vehicles, intensifying the hostilities.

In conjunction with the Resistance’s ongoing battles on various fronts, the Israeli occupation forces acknowledged the killing of the sergeant in the Computer Communications Company, Paratroopers Brigade, Ben Avishay, during battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

On Friday, the people of Gaza and their resistance fought an unequal war and fiercely defended themselves against the brutal Israeli occupation for 32 weeks thus far, al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida said.
