Today, Tuesday, the Palestinian resistance factions announced that they targeted the Israeli occupation forces and their vehicles with missiles and mortar shells in the Netzarim axis (south of Gaza City) and in Rafah (south of the Gaza Strip), while dozens of Palestinians were martyred and injured in new Israeli raids.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said that it bombed Israeli forces stationed in the Netzarim axis with 114 mm short-range “Rajoum” missiles.
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, also announced that it bombed with mortar shells a position of Israeli soldiers on the supply line in the Netzarim axis.
In the Rafah battles, the Al-Qassam Brigades said that they targeted a Merkava tank with “Al-Yassin 105” shells near the Passports roundabout, east of Rafah.
The Brigades also announced that they had targeted the occupation forces at the Tal al-Sultan Battalion site (northwest of Rafah) with heavy-caliber mortar shells.

The Al-Quds Brigades also said that they bombed with missiles and mortar shells the headquarters of the occupation army, its soldiers and its vehicles (south of the Saudi Quarter) and Tal Al-Sultan (west of Rafah).
The brigades also announced that they bombed the Karam Abu Salem and Sufa military sites (east of Rafah) with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
The Al-Quds Brigades broadcast scenes that they said showed a joint bombing – with the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades – targeting the Kissufim military site in the Gaza Strip.
The occupation army has continued its ground attacks in Rafah for more than 40 days, and said yesterday that it had “operationally” taken control of 70% of the city, while acknowledging losses among its forces.
Meanwhile, medical sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that 20 Palestinians were martyred and dozens of others were injured as a result of the Israeli bombing in the central and southern Gaza Strip since dawn today.
Sniping a Palestinian seller
A Palestinian was killed by an Israeli sniper in the Al-Sahaba market in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City.
Local platforms circulated a horrific picture of the martyr, who works as a salesman and was subjected to sniping while at work.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that a woman was killed after the occupation forces targeted a house belonging to the Al-Maqadma family in the central Gaza Strip.
The occupation forces targeted the house located east of Al-Dawa Mosque, north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. The martyr’s remains were recovered from the vicinity of the targeted house and her body was transported to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Israeli artillery continues to bomb the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood (west of Rafah), resulting in the blowing up and destruction of several homes. An Israeli raid also targeted a house in conjunction with an incursion of occupation army vehicles into the city centre.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that two Palestinians were injured by artillery shelling from Israeli vehicles targeting the areas of Ma’an and the town of Abasan, east of the city of Khan Yunis (south of the Gaza Strip). The injured were transferred to the Gaza European Hospital in the city to receive treatment.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza documented 3 massacres committed by Israeli forces yesterday, which resulted in the death of 25 people and the injury of 80 others.
Thus, the toll of the war on Gaza rose to 37,372 martyrs and 85,452 wounded, according to ministry data.
For more than 8 months, Israel has continued to wage a war of genocide against Gaza, as international experts describe it, despite several international resolutions from the Security Council and the International Court of Justice demanding that it stop military operations.
