Resistance operations
Regarding the resistance operations, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, said that it targeted the command and control headquarters of the occupation army in the city of Al-Zahraa, south of the Netzarim axis, with 107 guided missiles.
Four Israeli soldiers were killed and five others were injured in an ambush set up by the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), for an Israeli force in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to the information that was revealed, members of the Qassam Brigades blew up a booby-trapped building containing Israeli soldiers, using a highly explosive device, which led to the immediate death of the four soldiers, including a female military doctor.
According to the Israeli military correspondent, the soldiers were also subjected to heavy gunfire from Palestinian resistance fighters after the explosion.
It is noteworthy that since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 136,000 martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.
