Palestinian Resistance fighters from multiple factions continue to confront Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip after 194 days of the war on Gaza. 

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades fighters confronted an Israeli military force in the central Gaza Strip, near Deir al-Balah, firing a tandem rocket-propelled grenade at an Israeli military-grade D9 bulldozer. 

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) military wing, al-Quds Brigades, announced that its fighters engaged in fierce direct battles with an Israeli force to the east of the city in the central Gaza Strip, where confrontations have concentrated. 

Its Military Media unit said that its fighters armed with assault rifles and anti-armor weapons engaged armored and infantry Israeli forces in the area. 

On their part, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades fighters were able to target groupings of invading Israeli occupation forces to the east of Deir al-Balah using large-caliber 120 mm mortar shells, on Wednesday morning.

Concurrently, al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades fighters were able to launch a rocket attack on the Israeli "Zikim" naval base to the north of the Gaza Strip. In footage published by the Resistance faction, fighters set up three 107 mm shells to launch at occupation forces. A paper they had placed next to the makeshift launching pad read, "Greetings to the Islamic Republic of Iran and its military attack on Israel."

An expert on the Affairs of the Palestinian Resistance, Hani al-Dali, told Al Mayadeen that the Palestinian Resistance has been able to target almost every position of occupation military forces within the Gaza Strip, through direct or indirect attacks. 

He pointed to the fact that the Resistance has not allowed the Israeli military to set up fixed positions in the Gaza Strip, due to continuous operations targeting assets, such as command and control stations.

'Israel' is a moral burden

In his interview with Al Mayadeen, al-Dali noted that the Palestinian people have resonated with the effects of the Iranian retaliatory attack on "Israel" on Saturday night. He said that Palestinians valued Iranian military action against the occupation.

He emphasized that the Iranian response was a cause of fear and terror for some Arab countries, which are in the limelight for their inaction and are now mobilizing diplomatically to reach a ceasefire and seeking solutions to stop the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

He also noted that the West now sees "Israel" as a moral burden, adding that the Iranian strike has made "Israel" a strategic burden on the West.

West Bank Resistance expanding

On developments in the West Bank, Al Mayadeen's Security Affairs Analyst, Charles Abi Nader stated that Palestinian Resistance fighters have armed themselves with assault rifles and improvised explosive devices to confront the ongoing Israeli raids on the occupied territory's towns.

Confrontations have concentrated in Tubas, Jenin, and eastern Nablus, where the Palestinian Resistance maintains a strong presence, Abi Nader added. 

"Today, we notice that the clashes are expanding and almost synchronizing in the main areas north of the West Bank, indicating that Resistance groups are supporting each other," Abi Nader underlined. 

In fact, the West Bank's Resistance is formed of a multitude of grassroots Resistance factions, which have rapidly grown in recent years to confront ongoing Israeli crimes in the occupied territory.
