The Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip continues to fend off occupation forces for the 269th consecutive day. The resistance has been executing strategic operations primarily concentrated in Gaza City and the southern parts of the Strip, resulting in confirmed casualties among Zionist forces and extensive damage to their equipment.
Resistance forces were also actively countering an attempt by the Zionist army to advance once again towards Salah al-Din Street in Gaza City.
Simultaneously, the resistance is engaged in intense guerilla clashes with occupationforces in al-Shujaiya. Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced they had targeted two Merkava 4 tanks in the neighborhood with a Shawaz IED.
Additionally, al-Qassam fighters targeted an Israeli force entrenched inside a house in al-Shujaiya with a TBG missile, resulting in multiple casualties among the soldiers.
Al-Qassam Brigades released footage showing their fighters confronting armored vehicles that had infiltrated the al-Shujaiya area in Gaza City.
Moreover, the artillery unit of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, bombarded Zionist forces and their equipment in al-Shujaiya with mortar shells.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades also declared that they were engaged in fierce confrontations Zionisti forces and their military vehicles in al-Shujaiya, located in the eastern part of Gaza City.
Rafah confrontations
The Palestinian Resistance forces continue to resist occupation forces advancing into the Saudi neighborhood and the Shabura refugee camp in Rafah,, The al-Qassam Brigades announced that their fighters had successfully destroyed a Merkava 4 tank using two improvised explosive devices on the southern side of al-Tayaran Street in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah.
Earlier on Monday, al-Qassam Brigades reported that they lured a Zionist force into a booby-trapped house that had been used in a recent sniper operation east of Rafah. Once the soldiers entered the house, it was detonated, resulting in casualties among the Israeli troops.
Zionist media confirmed the collapse of the booby-trapped building in Rafah with the soldiers still inside, acknowledging that several soldiers were injured, some critically. The injured soldiers were airlifted to Soroka Hospital in Beer al-Sabe.
Meanwhile, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ) announced that they targeted a Merkava tank with an RPG and engaged in clashes with soldiers near the western cemetery in southwest Rafah.
Al-Quds Brigades also confirmed that they bombarded a command post in the Amitai military base with 107 rockets. They released footage showing the detonation of several explosive devices on Zionist military vehicles in southwest Rafah and the shelling of advancing support forces with a barrage of mortar shells.
Earlier, Saraya al-Quds reported targeting the settlements of Kisufim, Ein HaShlosha, Nirim, Sufa, and Holit in the Gaza envelope with concentrated rocket fire.
Zionist media said an “unprecedented barrage” of 20 rocket shells was fired toward the Gaza envelope, with sirens sounding in Ein HaShlosha and Kissufim.
The occupation forces admitted that one soldier was killed and another seriously injured during clashes with resistance forces in southern Gaza.
Additionally, news outlets indicated that one soldier was killed and ten others wounded, including three in critical condition, in a tunnel explosion in Gaza earlier today.
Yemen carries out actions in the Red Sea
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Monday that they conducted four significant military operations targeting ships belonging to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Zionistoccupation, achieving direct hits.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, detailed the attacks in a statement. The first operation targeted the Zionist ship MSC Unific VI in the Arabian Sea using several cruise missiles.
The second operation, according to Saree, targeted the US oil tanker Delonix in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles. This marks the second attack on the Delonix within the same week.
In the third operation, Yemeni forces targeted the British Cargo ship Anvil Point in the Indian Ocean with cruise missiles.
The fourth operation targeted the Lucky Sailor ship in the Mediterranean Sea, again using cruise missiles.
The Yemeni Armed Forces underlined that this attack was due to the ship’s owning company violating a ban on entering ports in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Yemeni Armed Forces stated that their operations will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
Continuous support
These operations follow on the heels of similar ones just before the weekend, wherein the YAF attacked four Zionist-affiliated ships and an American vessel in the Mediterranean and Red Sea on Friday.
Saree said that the YAF conducted a joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, in which the groups fired several suicide drones toward the WALER chemical and oil products tanker in the Mediterranean Sea. He explained that the ship was sailing toward the occupied Haifa Port, breaching the terms of the Yemeni embargo on the occupation.
The YAF Rocket Force and Navy also targeted the American-owned DELONIX chemical tanker in the Red Sea, utilizing several anti-ship ballistic missiles that reportedly directly impacted the vessel.
Ships linked to the United States have become a target for the YAF, after the US military launched dozens of strikes on Yemen, in a show of support to the Israeli regime.
Moreover, the YAF’s Rocket Force fired an anti-ship cruise missile at the JOHANNES MAERSK container ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Saree explained that the shipping conglomerate Maersk has been one of the biggest backers of the Israeli occupation and has also violated the terms of the Yemeni blockade on the Israeli occupation on multiple occasions. In turn, this has made all Maersk-affiliated vessels a target for the YAF, according to previous statements read out by the brigadier general.
