The military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, the al-Qassam Brigades,
published footage on Wednesday evening showing the Resistance's fighters
confronting the Israeli forces invading the Shujaiya neighborhood in the
Gaza Strip.

The Al-Qassam Brigades released never-seen-before footage from the Shujaiya
neighborhood, one of the largest neighborhoods in Gaza, where the
occupation repeatedly postponed its invasion and initiated it a few days
ago.

Shujaiya holds great significance as it is the neighborhood where the
Israeli soldier Oron Shaul was captured in 2014. Additionally, it houses
the Shujaiya battalion, one of the top attack battalions within the
Al-Qassam Brigades

The footage shows Al-Qassam fighters moving through the destroyed
buildings, approaching closely to Israeli tanks, carrying the renowned
Yasin-105 anti-tank RPG. They spotted three Israeli tanks and launched
anti-tank missiles at them.

The fighters targeted the tanks from within the demolished buildings,
destroying the vehicles and sending them up in flames. They then targeted a
bulldozer passing through the area before attacking another group of tanks.

The Israeli occupation forces admitted Wednesday to the killing of a
first-class reservist during the ongoing battles in the northern Gaza Strip.

With the death of the Israeli soldier, the number of IOF's casualties in
the Gaza Strip has risen to 10 in the last 24 hours.

The IOF have announced the death toll of its forces has risen to 84 since
their invasion of Gaza began, bringing the total death toll since October 7
to 408 Israeli soldiers.

The IOF revealed that a deputy company commander in the 53rd Battalion and
an IOF soldier in the patrol company in the 6261st Battalion, affiliated
with the 261st Brigade, were both killed in battles in the northern Gaza
Strip on Monday.

According to a *Channel 13 *correspondent, despite the brutal assault on
the strip, Palestinian resistance has confronted steadfastly the raids of
the IOF, especially using anti-tank and anti-armor munitions against the
Israeli forces.

Early on Monday morning, the Israeli Occupation Forces admitted that three
soldiers

 were killed during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

This comes shortly after the Israeli army announced the death of a commander

 of the Gaza Division's Southern Brigade, who was reportedly killed during
confrontations on October 7, adding that his body was still held in Gaza.
