TEHRAN - Multiple Palestinian factions have announced new operations targeting Israeli occupation troops and military vehicles in the besieged Gaza Strip.
It's been about 290 days since Tel Aviv began its genocidal war on Gaza. Despite the daily bombardment, the Palestinian resistance continues to confront the Israeli occupation forces (IOF).
The armed wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam brigades, announced that its fighters have targeted the occupation forces stationed at the Israeli-built Netzarim Corridor, south of Gaza City with a number of 114mm Rajum rockets.
The corridor, where the IOF has mobilized, is coming under an increasing level of attack.
The war media of the Gaza-based Mujahideen brigades released footage of an attack on the Netzarim Corridor with rockets.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs brigades also reported the shelling of an enemy command and control headquarters at the corridor with 107mm rockets and heavy mortar shells for the second time in as many days.
Earlier, the al-Aqsa Martyrs brigades released footage of their fighters targeting the IOF troops at corridor with two 107mm rockets and mortar shells.
In another operation, the Abu Ali Mustafa brigades, in coordination with the al-Qassam brigades, struck the command and control site at the corridor with 80mm mortar shells.
Elsewhere, the al-Qassam brigades, in coordination with the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds brigades, said it managed to target “a Zionist Merkava 4 tank with a Yassin 105 missile” in the Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a sign of increasing cooperation between different armed wings of Palestinian resistance factions, the Nasser Salah al-Din brigades, in coordination with the al-Quds brigades, targeted the Israeli Re’im military base east of central Gaza with a barrage of 107mm rockets.
On Friday, Palestinian resistance attacks were also focused on the Netzarim Corridor, while Israeli and American reports indicated that after more than nine months of war, the resistance retains its skilled commanders and rockets capable of reaching occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Tel Aviv.
The al-Qassam brigades said it managed to lure an Israeli foot patrol into a pre-rigged tunnel and detonate it, causing casualties among the soldiers, killing some and injuring others in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah.
Reports also emerged on Saturday of alarm sirens sounding in Israeli settlements near Gaza.
As the U.S.-backed genocidal Israeli war on Gaza nears its 10-month mark, the death toll among Palestinians has peaked to 38,919, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The IOF has also injured at least 89,622.
The majority of the fatalities and the injured have been women and children.
In the past 24 hours, four new Israeli massacres claimed the lives of 37 Palestinians and injured 54 others, the health ministry in Gaza added.
Many more remain buried under the rubble, awaiting rescue in the Strip. However, emergency services and hospitals can barely treat the wounded with the IOF almost completely shattering Gaza’s health sector.
Experts say the catastrophic reality underscores the difficulty in accurately counting casualties in Gaza and the figures could be much higher.
