Palestinian Resistance factions continue to confront Israeli occupation forces on multiple fronts, with a particular focus on Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. They have aimed their operations at occupation soldiers, vehicles, and Israeli settlements near the vicinity of the Strip.

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, announced their joint operation with the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. Together, they targeted the headquarters of the occupation's operations command with several mortar shells, east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

In another statement, the al-Quds Brigades reported that they engaged an Israeli ground force armed with machine guns on al-Ternis Street in the Jabalia Camp. As a result, casualties were inflicted upon the Israeli forces, with some reported dead and wounded.

Similarly, the al-Quds Brigades asserted their involvement in detonating an al-Barq explosive device, targeting an Israeli Merkava 4 tank close to the Tamraz station in the Jabalia refugee camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip.

Confrontations east of Rafah

The Brigades released footage on their official Telegram channel depicting the mortar barrage it used to neutralize military targets and vehicles of the Israeli occupation forces situated east of the Jabalia camp.

In the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the al-Quds Brigades announced that they were engaged in fierce confrontations with machine guns and anti-tank missiles with the occupation soldiers and vehicles in the east and southeast of Rafah.

Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades launched mortar shells targeting the occupation army forces stationed within the Rafah land crossing, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Fatah, targeted an Israeli Merkava 4 tank with an Asif-type device east of the city of Rafah.

The forces of Martyr Omar al-Qasim, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced that they had targeted a gathering of occupation vehicles in the al-Salam neighborhood, east of Rafah, with 107mm short-range rockets.

Sirens sound in the settlements surrounding the Strip

The al-Quds Brigades targeted the Sderot settlement in the northern Gaza Strip with a missile attack. They also announced a second attack on 'Sderot', coordinated with the forces of Martyr Omar al-Qasim.

In turn, Israeli media reported that sirens sounded in the settlements of Sderot, Efim, and Nir Am in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, Palestinian Resistance factions continued to confront the Israeli invasion across multiple battlefronts as the genocidal war on the Strip continues. 

Intense confrontations are particularly taking place in Jabalia and eastern Rafah as "Israel" struggles to achieve any of its main war objectives.

Al-Qassam Brigades announced a series of operations in the Jabalia refugee camp and Rafah targeting Israeli occupation forces, including the launch of a Sam 7 anti-air missile toward an Apache helicopter over the northern Jabalia refugee camp.
