Palestinian Resistance factions announced a number of operations targeting Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the central Gaza Strip, Gaza City, and Khan Younis, on Tuesday morning.

Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades announced a series of operations, all of which took place to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip, to the south of Gaza City. 

Al-Qassam fighters targeted two Israeli Mekrava tanks with al-Yassin tandem rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), confirming direct hits in two distinct operations.

Later, the Resistance faction's fighters targeted an Israeli armored personnel carrier (APC) in the same axis of confrontation. The Brigades confirmed that the Israeli occupation soldiers were on board the APC and that a direct hit to the vehicle killed and injured its crewmembers.

Al-Qassam fighters also monitored that an Israeli military rescue helicopter arrive at the scene to transport the casualties.

IOF struggle in Khan Younis

Moving down south, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades confirmed that its fighters are engaged in fierce confrontations against Israeli occupation forces.

Although the Brigades did not delve into the details of its operations, it did reveal that it had deployed anti-armor units, mortar units, and infantry forces to push back against occupation soldiers attempting to advance into the city of Khan Younis since the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Up north, Al-Quds Brigades fighters targeted two Israeli military vehicles in the neighborhood of al-Sheikh Radwan, near Gaza City, with two RPGs.

The aforementioned Brigades hold the widest military arsenals among Resistance factions in Gaza, as well as the largest number of fighters. However, the armed wings of every Resistance faction in the Gaza Strip have participated in grueling military action, dealing blows to the Israeli occupation. Resistance fighters from different factions often find themselves jointly confronting a much more advanced enemy force within the Gaza Strip's neighborhoods, and succeed in dealing blows against it.

In this context, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (DFLP) National Resistance Brigades, announced that its fighters are engaged in fierce confrontations in several axes in Khan Younis, confirming that one of its units targeted an Israeli force with an RPG, killing and injuring its members.

DFLP fighters have heavily engaged occupation forces in Khan Younis since "Israel" expanded its invasion to southern regions of the Gaza Strip on December 1.

Mortar fire strikes with precision

Another contributor to the fight against invading forces is the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and its armed wing the Abu Ali Moustapha Brigades. 

As Tuesday noon approached, the Brigades' mortar units shelled Israeli positions to the east of the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip, Rafah.

The announcement coincided with a statement made by al-Quds Brigades, which revealed that its mortar units fired a large amount of shells at Israeli occupation forces in Juhr al-Dik.

It is worth noting that Israeli occupation forces set up camp in the agricultural area of Juhr al-Dik, located to the southeast of Gaza City; however, they have come under constant attacks from Resistance fighters, who have even infiltrated the site on at least two occasions.

Moreover, the DFLP's mortar units supplemented Resistance fighters in al-Bureij by targeting positions to the east of the camp where Israeli armored vehicles had been parked.
