The new operation, according to a statement by Al-Qassam Brigades, saw the targeting of an Israeli military engineering unit made of five soldiers.
Yesterday, Palestine Chronicle editors estimated that the nature of the ‘complex operation’ in Rafah indicated that the various resistance brigades in the area have managed to restore their capabilities.
Today, that analysis acquired greater validity, as Palestinian fighters carried out yet another complex operation, the second within 24 hours.
The new operation, according to a statement by Al-Qassam Brigades, saw the targeting of an Israeli military engineering unit made of five soldiers.
They were struck with an anti-personnel shell, hitting them directly.
Following that original strike, Palestinian fighters intercepted and struck an Israeli military personnel carrier with a Yassin-105 shell.
Al-Qassam also said that it documented the arrival of Israeli military helicopters carrying the dead and wounded in the Burj Awad intersection in Rafah.
Elsewhere in northern Gaza, a Nemer personnel carrier was also struck with a Shuath explosive device in the Martyr Ahmed Yassin area.
Al-Qassam also broadcast a video of an Israeli force being struck while sheltering inside a Palestinian home in the Saftawi area, west of Jabaliya.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.

“Al-Qassam Brigades bombards Re’im military base with a number of short-range Rajoom rockets.
“In a complex operation near the Burj Awad intersection in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, Al-Qassam fighters targeted a zionist engineering infantry force consisting of five soldiers with an anti-personnel shell, hitting them directly.
“They also targeted an armored personnel carrier with an Al-Yassin 105 shell. The fighters observed the landing of helicopters for evacuation.
“Abu Obeida: After reconnecting with fighters tasked with guarding enemy captives after weeks of lost contact, it was revealed that one of the enemy’s female captives was killed in an area under zionist aggression in the northern Gaza Strip. The life of another female captive who was with her remains in imminent danger.
“The war criminal Netanyahu, his government, and his military leaders bear full responsibility for the lives of their captives, as they insist on intensifying their suffering and causing their deaths.
“The enemy must prepare to face the dilemma of the disappearance of the bodies of their dead captives, due to widespread destruction and the martyrdom of some of their captors.
