The armed wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said it has carried out a series of new attacks against Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.

The Qassam Brigades said on its Telegram channel that its fighters destroyed an Israeli troop carrier with a Yassin-105 rocket in Rafah’s eastern al-Salam neighborhood, killing some crew members and injuring others. 

A Merkava tank was also targeted with a Yassin-105 rocket northeast of Jabalia, it added. 

The Qassam Brigades said its forces blew up an Israeli military bulldozer east of Rafah and shelled a group of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles east of Jabalia.

The Palestinian resistance group has put up stiff resistance against Israeli forces as the regime’s army expands its operations in Gaza, particularly in Rafah.
