Within just a few hours, the Khan Younis Brigade of Al-Qassam killed at least 14 zionist officers and soldiers in a series of ambushes, the most prominent of which was in Al-Zana.

Two more infantry forces were directly targeted, leaving untold numbers of dead and wounded. Dozens of others are wounded, and at the same time, 5 tanks and a personnel carrier were destroyed between Al-Zana and Al-Amal in Khan Younis.

Al-Amal is west of Khan Younis and has witnessed plenty of combat throughout Al-Aqsa Flood. However, Al-Zana has not witnessed any combat in over four months, owing to its destruction by the IOF and its position on the eastern border of Khan Younis.

Months later, and Al-Qassam set up an elaborate ambush in Al-Zana, targeting three Merkava tanks directly with the famous Al-Yassin 105 shells, then ambushing the force that came to rescue the dead and wounded soldiers in a minefield of 3 explosives. The rescue forces were targeted again hours later, as well as those who fled to a nearby house. Nine soldiers have been confirmed killed, “turned into pieces,” in the words of Al-Qassam.

The battle was still raging four hours after the Al-Zana ambush started. After entering Khan Younis 120 days ago, the occupation  has utterly failed to achieve any of its goals, continuing to fall into elaborate ambushes, unable to recover a single prisoner alive. The Resistance, however, lies in wait for its next prey.

On its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, said its fighters destroyed a Merkava 4 tank with a Thaqib explosively-formed penetrator (EFP) barrel bomb in the east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Elsewhere, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced shelling of gatherings of occupation troops and military vehicles with mortar shells east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Lebanese Resistance launches 11 attacks

The Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah announced on Saturday conducting a range of operations against Israeli military bases, sites, and forces across the Lebanese-Palestinian border as the genocidal war on Gaza marks its 183rd day.
Hezbollah launched eleven attacks today, many of which used their notorious Burkan bombs which weigh around 500 lbs. Hezbollah said in a statement that the operations come in “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and their brave and honorable Resistance and in response to the Israeli attacks on the resolute southern Lebanese villages and towns and civilian homes.”

Launching the first attack at 2:00 am, Hezbollah announced targeting a gathering of occupation soldiers in the Ramiya base using artillery weapons and confirmed that the said force took a direct hit.

‏At 11:50 am, the Resistance group targeted the al-Malikiyah military base using a Burkan heavy-caliber rocket, achieving direct impact.

Shortly after, Hezbollah said in a statement that, in response to attacks on Lebanese towns, specifically Saturday’s aggression on Marjeyoun, the Resistance launched two separate attacks at 12:40 pm using Burkan rockets; targeting the Jal al-Allam site in the first and a soldiers’ deployment point between the site and “Shlomi” settlement in the second.

A gathering of soldiers near the “Shtula” Barracks was targeted with artillery rockets at 2:25 pm, Hezbollah stated.

Another gathering site of soldiers near the “Shomera” Barracks was struck just 15 minutes later at 2:40 pm, the Resistance revealed, confirming that direct hits were achieved.

Hezbollah also launched at 4:15 pm a barrage of Katyusha rockets targeting the Zionist artillery units in al-Zaoura, which is located to the west of the occupied Golan Heights. The Resistance said that this operation particularly comes in response to the recent aggression on the Lebanese southern town of Arnoun.

The Roueisat al-Alam military base, located in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, was targeted at 4:30 with a Burkan rocket, the Resistance group said in a statement, confirming a direct hit was achieved.

At 5:05 pm, Hezbollah carried out its eighth operation of the day, targeting with artillery rockets the Zebdine Barracks, also located in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms. The group confirmed a direct hit to the Barracks.

In a significant operation, the group announced targeting an anti-UAV jamming system installed in the al-Assi military base using a suicide drone, achieving a direct hit.

At 6:15 pm, Hezbollah fighters targeted the al-Jirdah site with a Burkan rocket and confirmed a direct hit.

Also signficantly, the Resistance successfully shot down a Hermes 900 drone over Lebanese territory. This is the second time since the Al Aqsa Flood battle started that Hezbollah downed one of these drones.

The Hermes 900, also known as “Kochav”, is designed and manufactured by the Israeli security technology company Elbit Systems and is primarily used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, reconnaissance (ISTAR), and aerial reconnaissance missions.

It is a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV with a wingspan of 15 meters (49 feet). It has a maximum takeoff weight of around 1,180 kilograms (2,600 pounds).

Iraqi Resistance targets “Eilat”

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirmed that its fighters attacked early Sunday a vital Zionist target in Umm al-Rashrash (“Eilat”) in the occupied Palestinian territories using drones.

The Iraqi Resistance said in a statement that the attack comes in continuation of its path in resisting the occupation, in support of the people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

The statement reiterated the Resistance’s continuation in “striking the enemy’s strongholds.”

On Saturday, the Iraqi Resistance announced that it attacked a vital target in occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday using appropriate weapons.

Later, the Resistance announced in a separate statement that its fighters attacked early Saturday the oil refineries in occupied Haifa using drones.

It further stated that the operation is “part of the second phase of operations against the occupation,” which includes the enforcement of a blockade on Zionist maritime navigation in the Mediterranean and putting Israeli ports out of service.
