The Palestinian Resistance continues to confront occupation forces in response to the Zionist aggression against Gaza.
Ferce clashes took place between the Resistance and the occupation forces east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.
The military media of the al-Qassam brigades, published footage of its forces engaging an Apache helicopter with a SA-7 anti-air missile, east of Jabalia.
Its fighters also sniped an occupation soldier east of Jabalia camp and targeted soldiers stationed inside the Rafah land crossing, south of Gaza, with mortar shells.
In another video clip, al-Qassam documented the targeting of two Merkava tanks with anti-armor devices and a sticky explosive device in the middle of the Jabalia camp, in cooperation with the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine.
In turn, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades published footage of targeting the Netzarim axis using a 107 missile launcher.
The Brigades reported that their fighters engaged in fierce clashes with the occupation soldiers with machine guns, and were also able to target an occupation vehicle with an RPG shell in the al-Ajarma Street fighting axis in the Jabalia camp, northern Gaza Strip.
They also bombed a gathering of occupation vehicles and soldiers east of Jabalia camp using a barrage of regular 60-caliber mortar shells.
In addition, al-Aqsa Martyrs fighters heavily bombed soldier gatherings and vehicles east of Rafah with a barrage of heavy-caliber mortar shells.
In a joint operation with the Martyr Abdul Qader al-Husseini Brigades, they bombed concentrations of occupation soldiers and vehicles in the Taqaddum axis in the Al-Amal neighborhood area, with a 107mm missile launcher.
As for the al-Quds Brigades, they published scenes of their fighters bombing occupation vehicles on the front lines east of the city of Rafah, in conjunction with the al-Qassam brigades.
Saraya al-Quds reported that its fighters detonated an explosive in an infantry force, then hit it with a barrage of anti-personnel weapons, resulting in enemy casualties.
A gathering of occupation vehicles was also targeted with a barrage of mortar shells at the Civil Administration site east of Jabalia camp.
In conjunction with the al-Ansar Brigades, the brigades bombed the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip this morning with missiles and published footage showing an Israeli sniper stationed in a building east of Jabalia.
Other scenes showed occupation drones while they carried out intelligence missions in the sky over Gaza.
Fighters of the brigades also confronted soldier near the martyr Imad Aqel Mosque in Jabalia, killing and wounding number of them.
Occupation acknowledged two soldiers killed, four injured in Gaza
The Zionist forces confirmed on May 19 that two soldiers were killed and four others were injured during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip, as reported by Zionist media.
The occupation provided details, confirming the killing of two sergeants from the Givati Brigade during battles in the southern Gaza Strip, and published their names.
The army also admitted that an officer and two other soldiers from the Givati Brigade were seriously injured, along with a reserve soldier from the Bridges 5832 Northern Region Engineering Battalion, in the southern Gaza Strip.
On May 18, the occupation’s military admitted to the death of a soldier during confrontations in northern Gaza.
Under the “permitted to publish” clause, it was reported that the Sergeant was a soldier in the computer communications company of the Paratroopers Brigade, and was killed during a confrontation against the Palestinian Resistance in northern Gaza.
Hezbollah bombs Branit barracks
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah bombed Monday the headquarters of the occupation forces Unit 91 in the Branit barracks using a Burkan rocket.
In its statement, the group noted that the operation led to the injury of several occupation soldiers and that part of the barracks was destroyed and caught fire.
It added that the operation came in response to attacks on residential areas in southern Lebanon, especially the attack on the town of Naqoura, in addition to supporting Gaza and its resistance.
The Resistance also bombed the occupation’s Ramim and Zebdine barracks and the Raheb military site, leading to severe damages.
The Islamic Resistance announced the martyrdom of two of its fighters, Abbas Mahdi Mahdi and Raef Abdelnabi Mleiji from the southern town of Naqoura as martyrs on the path to al-Quds.
Hezbollah opened fire directly at the al-Jalil panhandle before confirming that the Branit site was bombed with a Burkan rocket.
Moreover, the settlement of Kiryat Shmona came under fire, indicating that sirens were activated in numerous northern settlements as the Zionist side believed that a drone had infiltrated the airspace of occupied Palestine.
Zionist media reported Saturday that Hezbollah has expanded its offensive capabilities since the beginning of the war, both in terms of the range it can reach and the tools it uses.
Alon Ben David, a military affairs analyst on the Israeli Channel 13, suggested that “Hezbollah is learning from the weaknesses it had at the beginning of the fighting,” pointing out that the Lebanese Resistance group’s activation of drones poses a significant challenge to the detection systems of the Zionist Air Force.
He also noted that some of Hezbollah’s drones have a “radar signature” similar to that of a “swan”, making them “very difficult” for detection systems to identify and pinpoint them.
The analyst also addressed the number of casualties in the north of occupied Palestine, claiming that since the beginning of the war, 20 Zionists have been killed, with four killed in the last two weeks, adding that with such figures, the occupation is paying “a hefty price.”
“Nothing is comfortable for us, and Hezbollah reads the situation correctly, understanding that in light of the war in Gaza, ‘Israel’ does not have the capacity to engage in a second battle in a decisive manner in the north,” Ben David indicated.
He expressed a belief that until the end of the war on Gaza, the regime will not engage in a battle in the north, adding that Hezbollah is also analyzing the decisions of the leadership, which, according to Ben David, “is not very enthusiastic about solving the problems in the north.”
Iraqi Resistance continues strikes
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it had carried out strikes against Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash) in southern occupied Palestine using a drone, affirming its continued attacks against Israeli occupation strongholds.
In two brief statements, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for targeting two vital occupation locations in occupied Umm al-Rashrash, on Monday, in separate operations carried out using drones.
The Resistance emphasized that the operations are a continuation of its approach against the occupation and in support of the people of the Gaza Strip, and responding to the massacres committed by the occupation forces against defenseless Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly.
In turn, Zionist media acknowledged spotting “flying objects off the coast of Eilat,” and the occupation’s radio also confirmed this, in addition to spotting a drone in the sky over the occupied Golan Heights, claiming that the Zionist Air Force “countered hostile targets launched from Iraq and Syria.”
Earlier, on May 20, the Iraqi Resistance also announced targeting Eilat as part of its assistance front in defense of occupied Palestine.
