Palestinian Resistance Pushes Hard in Khan Younis, Bulk Carrier Attacked in Red Sea

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ), engaged in fierce confrontations with the occupation forces using mortars and other arms to inflict major damage on the invading soldiers in the infiltration zones near Khan Younis, southern Gaza, destroying or disabling several of their vehicles.

The al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen movement, reported that they destroyed an occupation vehicle using the Zionists own missiles east of Jabalia, northern Gaza.

Sources within the occupation confirmed that occupation forces fell into an ambush in the Hamad neighborhood of Khan Younis. The Resistance used an IED that led to at least one soldiers death and the wounding of 13 others, six of whom are in critical condition.

Wednesday morning saw the al-Quds Brigades announcing that they destroyed an Namer armored infantry fighting vehicle using a tandem shell in the southern al-Zeytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

The Resistance fighters, moreover, unleashed a barrage of mortar shells that targeted the occupation’s command and control center south of the city.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced that their militants targeted Zionist assembly points containing soldiers and vehicles with 60mm mortar shells in the advancement axis south of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

The Fatah military wing revealed that their fighters executed 12 operations over 24 hours, engaging in fierce confrontations and engaging Zionist assembly points with mortar shells in the advancing fronts of Gaza, including western Khan Younis. These operations resulted in dozens of casualties among the ranks of the occupation forces.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced its Resistance fighters carried out 22 operations in 24 hours on Tuesday. These included engaging in fierce confrontations against occupation forces and targeting concentrations of military vehicles with mortar shells across several combat fronts in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades also engaged a tank with an RPG shell west of the city of Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties among the raiding occupation forces.

As part of the collaboration between Palestinian Resistance factions in Gaza, the al-Mujahideen Brigades and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades engaged, in a joint operation, against a military gathering south of Gaza City with short-range missiles.

On March 4, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced that its Resistance fighters captured two military drones conducting reconnaissance missions in the al-Mouaskar area west of Khan Younis.

In the same area, specifically in the al-Amal neighborhood, al-Qassam Brigades destroyed four tanks and two military bulldozers using al-Yassin 105 shells.

The Brigades’ fighters also engaged an occupation force holed up in a house with a TBG anti-fortification shell, resulting in casualties among its members, and sniped and killed two soldiers at point-blank.

Al-Qassam Resistance fighters also destroyed a Namer armored personnel carrier (APC) with an al-Yassin 105 shell south of the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, said its fighters shelled a military gathering with a barrage of heavy mortar shells in the al-Zanna area, east of Khan Younis.

The al-Quds Brigades’ Resistance fighters also targeted the settlements of “Sderot” and “Nir Am”, as well as other Gaza Envelope settlements with rocket barrages in response to crimes against the Palestinian people.

Ansarallah targets US carrier in Red Sea

The Yemeni Armed Forces attacked US bulk carrier True Confidence in the Gulf of Aden, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Wednesday.

The announcement saw the Yemeni armed forces claim responsibility for the attack that had been shrouded in mystery for hours, clarifying that the “incident”, as it had been called, was its forces launching drones and missiles at the ship.

“The Yemeni naval missiles struck the US ship in the Gulf of Aden, which caused a fire to break out,” Saree said.

“The operation was carried out after the crew of the American ship rejected warning messages from the Yemeni naval forces,” he stressed.

A “maritime incident” in the Red Sea left three crew members missing and caused severe burns in four others after a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier sustained damage in a cloudy operation off the coast of Yemen.

Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi: Yemen does not intentionally target civilians

Member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, said Yemen does not intentionally target civilians, adding that what the Yemeni armed forces are doing is a response to the unresponsible American strikes and the militarization of the sea to protect Zionist ships.

Al-Houthi said that if the American claim is correct about the accidental death of two people on the ship MV True Confidence, which rejected the warning, “We believe that Washington must provide compensation to these victims for an intentional act.”

“We are ready to provide compensation for an unintentional act in a similar manner to the compensation that will be estimated for civilians in Gaza by America and ‘Israel,’ because what the Yemeni armed forces are doing is a response to the reckless American strikes and Washington’s militarization of the sea to protect Israeli ships,” Al-Houthi concluded.

The bulk carrier, True Confidence, sustained serious damage off the coast of Yemen on Wednesday, with one shipping source telling Reuters that the vessel appears to have been abandoned in the wake of the incident.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency received a report of the incident, which occurred 54 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s port city of Aden.
