Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed Saturday that the Palestinian Resistance is engaged in intense confrontations in multiple battlefronts against the raiding Israeli occupation forces across the Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent reported that the confrontations are concentrated in the eastern and western areas of the city of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, and in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the southeast of Gaza City.

He mentioned the two Israeli military helicopters landed in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood after fierce confrontations between the Palestinian Resistance fighters and the Israeli occupation forces there.

In brief statements, several Palestinian Resistance factions announced a series of operations against the Israeli occupation at various axes in the Gaza Strip.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, declared the destruction of an Israeli armored personnel carrier (APC) using a homemade Shawaz explosive device south of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, inflicting casualties among the crew of the vehicle, which required the landing of an Israeli helicopter to transport them.

Al-Qassam announced that its fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with a Tandem shell and that its snipers shot an Israeli soldier using the homemade Ghoul sniper rifle in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

Top-tier operation by al-Quds Brigades

Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, announced carrying out a top-tier resistance operation in the Aabasan al-Kabira area, east of Khan Younis.

The Brigades' fighters targeted an Israeli bulldozer with a Barq-type explosive device, then targeted a Merkava tank with a Tandem shell, eliminating its crew from point-blank range.

In the same area, the Resistance fighters of al-Quds Brigades engaged in fierce confrontations with the Israeli occupation soldiers and their military vehicles, using machine guns, anti-tank shells, and anti-personnel weapons.

The Brigades also targeted gatherings of Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, noting that two vehicles were targeted with an RPG shell.

The al-Quds Brigades' military media released footage showing the salvos of rockets that the Brigades' fighters launched on Israeli military gatherings in the combat zones south of Gaza City.

The Brigades' fighters also engaged in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation vehicles and soldiers in the same neighborhood.

Abu Bilal also revealed that in a joint operation with the al-Quds Brigades, al-Mujahideen Brigades sniped at six Israeli occupation soldiers stationed on their vehicles in the vicinity of Tayba Towers, south of the Japanese neighborhood west of Khan Younis, confirming casualties among the soldiers as a result of the operation, which dealt a painful blow to the Israeli occupation.

On its part, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with the Israeli occupation soldiers and their vehicles using various weapons, including machine guns, and RPGs in the fighting axes in Khan Younis.

The Brigades' fighters targeted a D9-type Israeli military bulldozer with an RPG shell and shelled the gatherings of Israeli soldiers and vehicles with mortar shells and short-range rockets in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

They also targeted the gatherings of Israeli soldiers with a rocket salvo of the 107 type east of the central area of the Strip.

As for the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), it announced that its combat units engaged in fierce confrontations with the invading occupation forces in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, using various weapons.

Earlier, the spokesperson for the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Abu Khaled, confirmed that the Forces' fighters caused casualties among Israeli occupation forces after targeting an Israeli military vehicle with an explosive device in the al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Younis.

He added that the fighters engaged with an Israeli patrol in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, using heavy machine guns, explosive devices, anti-tank and personnel shells, achieving direct hits.

This comes as the Israeli occupation military confirmed that Major Eyal Shuminov, who served as a company commander in the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, was killed during battles in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

With the announcement, the number of Israeli occupation troops killed since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip now stands at 577, as per the Israeli military. But footage published by the military media of the Palestinian Resistance factions indicates that the losses incurred are much greater than officially declared.
