The Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas’ military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, released a compilation of footage captured from recent battles against invading Zionist occupation forces in the northern Gaza Strip.
Footage captured by Resistance fighters in the Jabalia refugee camps showcased the destruction of multiple military vehicles, including Merkava tanks, D9 military-grade bulldozers, and an armored personnel carrier (APC).
Despite more than 400 days of the grueling war against the besieged Palestinian people, powerful images of heroic resistance and defiance continue to emerge from the Gaza Strip. Jabalia continues to defend against the Zionist aggression, dealing the regime costly casualties and losses. Most notably, the commander of the Zionist 162nd Division’s 401st Armored Brigade, Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, was eliminated by al-Qassam fighters in the town.
Additionally, Resistance fighters in this axis of confrontations have executed several other top-tier operations against special forces, commanders, and armored forces.
Saturday’s operations
On Saturday, al-Qassam Brigades and al-Ansar Brigades snipers took out a Zionist soldier positioned in the southern section of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, in Gaza City. Footage of the operation was also shared.
Al-Qassam fighters also fired a salvo of rockets at the Sderot city settlement, located to the northeast of the Gaza Strip.
West Bank resistance confronts Zionist occupation
The al-Quds Brigades – Jenin Battalion announced that its fighters rained heavy bullets on the settlement of Shaked on Saturday, before returning to their bases safely.
The Nablus Battalion of the Brigades was also able to confront the occupation forces during the raid of al-Ain camp using heavy bullets and explosive devices.
This comes as clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli settler gangs terrorizing the village of Beit Furik in Nablus, after at least 30 settlers stormed the area and set fire to a number of residential buildings and vehicles. This came after the Nablus Battalion and the al-Aqsa Brigades carried out operations on the village’s military checkpoint on Friday.
The Palestinian Presidency condemned the settler attack on the homes of Palestinians in the West Bank town of Beit Furik, with its spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, denouncing the escalation of settler terrorism against the Palestinian people and land.
The statement issued by the spokesperson further indicated that the violence on the West Bank comes as the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip continues, along with the aggression on the West Bank refugee camps, and called for an international stance to stop the aggression on Gaza first.
“It is not enough to rely on policies of condemnation and denunciation, which have become ineffective, in order to prevent the destruction of the region due to this Israeli criminality.”
Abu Rudeineh held the United States fully responsible for the regime’s continued defiance of international legitimacy, due to its financial, military, and political support. He reiterated the Palestinian people’s steadfastness in holding on to their land, rights, and holy sites, stressing that the “ongoing ‘Israeli’ terrorism by the occupation army and settlers, alongside US support, will not bring security or stability to the region.”
13 Resistance operations in the past hours
Resistance operations in the occupied West Bank persisted over the past hours, with 13 documented operations targeting occupation forces and settlers.
According to the Palestinian Information Center, these operations included shootings, armed confrontations, detonating explosive devices, hurling Molotov cocktails, confrontations, and stone-throwing at eight locations. Additionally, they involved burning and smashing a settler’s vehicle that had entered the city and repelling a Zionist raid.
Occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank late Friday night, firing flares over its old city.
During the raid, the occupation forces stormed a house in the old city. Local sources reported to the Palestinian Information Center that the occupation were targeted with a locally manufactured explosive device and heavy gunfire near the al-Ain refugee camp, west of Nablus.
In turn, the Al-Quds Brigades – Nablus Battalion announced that, alongside local fighters, they had engaged the occupation forces during their incursion into the al-Ain camp, releasing heavy gunfire and explosive devices.
Occupation forces had also stormed the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus, detaining a family inside their home. In parallel, the occupation raided the al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil.
In al-Quds, the youth set a settler’s car ablaze after he entered the town of Abu Dis, east of the city, prompting confrontations with occupation forces who stormed the area.
In Jenin, Resistance fighters targeted occupation forces with explosive devices during a raid on the town of Rummana, sparking confrontations in the nearby town of Ya’bad. Meanwhile, the town of al-Khader in Beit Lahm witnessed confrontations between youths and occupation forces that had earlier raided the city.
Hezbollah launches significant operations
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah launched numerous attacks targeting Zionist military sites and personnel on Saturday, with the Resistance affirming that the operations came in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and in defense of Lebanon and its people from the occupation.
The Islamic Resistance announced a major military coordinated operation, targeting five military bases in occupied Haifa at the same time. According to a statement released by the Resistance’s Military media, as part of the “Khaybar” series of operations and under the call of “Labbayka ya Nasrallah”, the Haifa Technical Base, the Haifa Naval Base, the Stella Maris naval base, the Tirat Carmel Base, and for the first time, the Nesher Fuel Base came under attack later in the evening with a barrage of advanced rockets.
- The Haifa Technical Base, which focuses on developing advanced technologies in defense and includes missile systems, aviation technology, military communications systems, artificial intelligence, and other advanced technologies, belongs to the Air Force and houses a training college for preparing air force technicians. It is located 35 kilometers from the Palestinian-Lebanese border.
- The Haifa Naval Base belongs to the Navy and includes a fleet of warships and submarines, and is located 35 kilometers from the Palestinian-Lebanese border.
- The Stella Maris, a strategic surveillance center 35 kilometers northwest of Haifa, was struck for the second time during the operation, following an earlier one.

- For the first time since the start of the war, Hezbollah targeted the Nesher Base, the occupation forces’ fuel station, located 40 kilometers from the Palestinian-Lebanese border.
In the early morning, Resistance fighters initiated an aerial assault with a squadron of attack drones on the Shayetet 13 naval commando headquarters in Atlit, south of Haifa, scoring precise hits on key targets. Later in the morning, a salvo of rockets was launched at the Shiraga base, the Golani Brigade’s administrative headquarters, north of Akkar.
Toward noon, another drone strike targeted Israeli forces gathered near a military checkpoint in the Avivim settlement, and similar strikes targeted another grouping of soldiers in the Yir’on settlement. Just minutes later, the Islamic Resistance struck the Stella Maris naval base, as part of the “Khaybar” series of operations, accompanied by the rallying cry “At your service, Nasrallah.”
Operations continued, as Resistance forces launched rockets at the newly established headquarters of the Western Brigade in Yaara barracks, followed by further strikes targeting Zionist personnel in the Avivim settlement. Additional barrages were directed at groupings of soldiers in the settlement of Manara, east of Maroun al-Ras, and the settlements of Dovev, Sa’sa, Margaliot, and Kiryat Shmona, as well as the Ramim barrack.
A Zionist soldier gathering was also precisely struck after Hezbollah deployed a squadron of attack drones toward al-ibad site, where they were positioned. The statement released by the Resistance’s military media confirmed that the attack was successfully executed, with accurate hits against all targets.
The Islamic Resistance also grilled an Israeli Merkava tank in the eastern outskirts of Chamaa, where Zionist forces previously attempting to infiltrate the village were forced to retreat, killing and wounding its crew. This raises the total number of destroyed Merkavas in Lebanon to 44.
In the same town, Hezbollah fighters ambushed occupation forces attempting to invade the town of Shamaa, in South Lebanon, at 11:15 pm.
The Resistance said as enemy troops arrived at the point of ambush, Resistance fighters confronted them with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) in a close-quarters battle, resulting in confirmed casualties among the enemy forces.
At the time of the release of the statement, at 1:20 am on Sunday, the Military Media Unit revealed that confrontations were ongoing on the eastern outskirts of the town.
As part of its warnings for Zionist northern settlements, the Islamic Resistance barraged Kiryat Shmona with rockets.
The Islamic Resistance stated that these operations are part of its ongoing commitment to support Gaza and protect Lebanon.
Ansarallah targets Eilat
Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced Saturday the success of an operation against a vital target in occupied Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] in southern occupied Palestine, using drones.
The military operation came in support of Lebanon and Palestine, as well as their Resistance movements, amid the ongoing Zionist aggression and crimes against both countries. Saree further vowed that the Yemeni Armed Forces will not cease their operations until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
Earlier this week, the YAF carried out two top-tier operations targeting US naval assets in the region.
The first operation targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. Using a combination of cruise missiles and drones, Yemeni forces struck the vessel while it was reportedly preparing for operations against Yemen. The statement said the operation thwarted an impending American aerial assault, achieving its objectives without interruption.
The second operation targeted two US destroyers in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles and drones, again claiming successful strikes against the vessels.
Yemen has gradually escalated the intensity of its operations, as it previously vowed, in response to the continued aggression in the region.
