The Palestinian Resistance persists in the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood saga in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip. It remains engaged in confrontation with occupation forces on the frontlines within the Gaza Strip.

Reports indicate intense confrontations between the Resistance and occupation forces on the outskirts of al-Mughraqa town, situated north of the al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, on Tuesday evening.

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades declared that they had targeted an Israeli D9 military bulldozer with a homemade al-Yassin 105 anti-tank shell, located east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. It reported that Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli force entrenched in a building using an anti-fortified TBG missile, resulting in casualties among its members.

Similarly, the al-Quds Brigades, the military faction of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, affirmed that they had launched mortar shells targeting a gathering of occupation soldiers and vehicles southwest of Gaza City.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades declared that their Resistance fighters had attacked an Israeli military vehicle west of the city of Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip. They confirmed that the vehicle's crew was either killed or injured.

Footage was released documenting the shooting of an Israeli soldier near the vicinity of al-Shifa Medical Complex, situated to the west of Gaza City.

The failure of the occupation

Amidst the ongoing battles by the Palestinian Resistance, Zvi Hauser, former head of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Israeli Knesset, acknowledged that "it is not feasible to dismantle the entire military apparatus of Hamas, comprising 35,000 members," following six months of warfare that failed to achieve its stated objective. This objective, per Israeli officials, was eliminating the Resistance.

In this context, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, outlined several Israeli failures since October 7, 2023, including setbacks and errors in the Gaza war, resulting in numerous fatalities and a significant toll of wounded, disabled, and psychologically affected individuals.

Earlier on Monday, the Israeli occupation withdrew from Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, under the fire of Resistance fighters who conducted several operations simultaneously.

Al-Qassam Brigades fighters conducted the most complicated operation, ambushing occupation forces in Khan Younis. Al-Qassam fighters targeted an Israeli armored personnel carrier (APC) with a locally produced tandem rocket-propelled grenade, dubbed al-Yassin, in Khan Younis' city center. In the same area, Resistance fighters launched another shell toward seven Israeli occupation forces, dealing direct hits to the intended targets.

After evacuation units and rescue teams arrived at the scene to assist the targeted Israeli force, al-Qassam fighters fired heavy machine guns at the forces, killing and injuring them.

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades targeted an Israeli Merkava 4 tank in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, just before Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the hospital.
