TEHRAN- After mentioning “an event unprecedented in months” regarding clashes between the Palestinian resistance movement and the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported that two soldiers had been killed in the Netzarim area.

Under the “Permitted for Publication” clause, Israeli media detailed that the slain troops were Staff Sergeant Nadav Elchanan Knoller from the 121st Battalion in the 8th armored brigade, and Major Eyal Avnion, a deputy company commander in the same battalion.

In the same battle where these soldiers lost their lives, five others from their battalion were injured, with one in critical condition. Another battle in southern Gaza led a soldier from the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Brigade to suffer serious injuries.

The Israeli media reported that the soldiers in Netzarim were targeted by an explosive device planted by Palestinian militants in a sophisticated and “unprecedented” ambush not seen in months. 

Furthermore, the Israeli military acknowledged on Wednesday the injury of 23 soldiers in the past 24 hours amid escalating battles in the enclave. 

Experts say the Gaza resistance factions are waging operations against the occupying forces in a more sophisticated manner and in higher numbers than they had conducted so far. 

It reflects a growing resilience among the Palestinian resistance groups to adapt to the war of attrition in the Strip. 

Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance forces continued their steadfastness against the occupation forces on the 272nd day in defense of Gaza across various combat zones. These operations have notably led to an increase in Israeli losses. Palestinian military media are also highlighting the heroic acts of the Palestinian fighters.

The armed wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed their successful targeting of an Israeli unit consisting of 14 soldiers who were holed up in a residential building in the Shejaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Using a TBG shell, the attack resulted in casualties, including fatalities and injuries among the Israeli soldiers, according to al-Qassam.

Additionally, al-Qassam fighters carried out successful strikes against an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and a Namer APC with Yasin 105 shells in Shejaiya, underscoring their ability to engage and disrupt Israeli military operations effectively.

In Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip, al-Qassam Brigades targeted a gathering of Israeli forces and their military vehicles near the Talsultan neighborhood cemetery, west of the city, using mortar fire to inflict damage and casualties.

Meanwhile, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds Brigades, demonstrated their operational capabilities by targeting a fortified Israeli special forces unit inside a building in Shejaiya with a TBG shell, causing significant losses among the Israeli personnel.

Furthermore, the al-Quds Brigades successfully detonated a Thaqqib explosive device near an Israeli military vehicle in the vicinity of the Salem Mosque in the same neighborhood. Their operations extended to western Rafah, where they continued to target Israeli soldiers and vehicles with a sustained barrage of mortar shells.

Meanwhile, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades intensified their attacks on Israeli military positions and equipment in Shejaiya and other strategic locations in the totally blockaded enclave employing mortar shells to disrupt and inflict casualties on Israeli forces.

The war media of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades also released footage documenting their precise targeting of the Israeli military bases of Re’im and the Mefalsim with concentrated rocket fire, aiming to undermine Israeli military infrastructure and capabilities.

In a separate engagement, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades targeted Israeli forces stationed in Netzarim with “107 rockets and 60mm mortar shells”, demonstrating their tactical flexibility and determination to resist Israeli occupation forces.

Following the return of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades fighters from frontline combat zones, they reported conducting a highly coordinated rocket and artillery operation in Netzarim.

Their attack specifically targeted the central command facility of the Israeli forces with a heavy barrage of mortar shells and “107 rockets”, resulting in confirmed casualties and disruptions in Israeli operations.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades confirmed direct hits on Israeli forces, including instances where Israeli helicopters were observed landing for emergency evacuation operations, underscoring the intensity and effectiveness of their military operations.

Over the past 24 hours alone, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades carried out 13 missions across various combat zones, engaging in fierce clashes and successfully targeting an Israeli soldier inside a residential building in Shejaiya through precise sniper operations.

Meanwhile, Al-Qassam Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades collaborated on a joint operation in Shejaiya, resulting in the successful neutralization of two Israeli soldiers from close range, further demonstrating their operational prowess and strategic coordination.

In another well-executed operation in Shejaiya, al-Qassam and al-Quds Brigades set up a sophisticatedly planned ambush, targeting an entrenched Israeli unit with a TBG shell.

As rescue forces rushed to the scene, they too were subjected to secondary explosions from Yassin 105 shells, alongside the detonation of locally manufactured Thaqqib and Shawaz devices placed near two military vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, intensified their attacks by firing “107” rockets at an Israeli command and control center in “Netzarim,” aiming to disrupt and disperse Israeli military operations in the area.

In joint operations with Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Mujahideen Brigades targeted an Israeli military force attempting to advance in Shejaiya with short-range rocket fire, effectively halting their progress and inflicting losses on the occupation forces.
