As soon as the Israeli military set up a new post in Jabaliya, the Resistance responded swiftly and decisively.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Monday that its fighters successfully carried out a complex operation targeting a newly established Israeli military post in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
According to a statement released by the group, the operation resulted in the destruction of an Israeli Merkava tank, killing and wounding its crew. Al-Qassam also reported targeting an Israeli military jeep carrying several soldiers with grenades, resulting in further casualties.
In a separate operation, the Brigades stated that its fighters destroyed an Israeli troop carrier in Beit Hanoun, located northeast of Gaza, using a Yassin 105 shell. The attack reportedly killed and wounded the vehicle’s crew.
Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, announced that over the past two days, its fighters launched missile strikes against Tel Aviv, occupied Jerusalem, Sderot, and the Gaza Envelope region.
