<p>On the 30th day of confrontations in the Gaza Strip, the Resistance

produced <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-resists-israeli-invasion-for-5th-day-dealing-heavy-casu">al-Yassin</a> 105 rocket-propelled grenades, which have proven their exceptional effectiveness. </p>
<p>The Resistance has dedicated a substantial portion of its production
capabilities to accumulating the game-changing charges, that have
destroyed or disabled dozens of Israeli armored vehicles</p>
<h2>Al-Qassam's operations: Relentless</h2>
<p>Confrontations concentrated on the coastal side of the northern Gaza
Strip as well as the southern outskirts of Gaza City, as Israeli forces
attempted to encircle the city.</p>
<h3>Al-Qassam Brigades tally</h3>
<ul><li>Al-Qassam Brigades' mortar units targeted Israeli occupation

<h2>Gaza's flames scorch occupation soldiers</h2>
<p>So far, the occupation has admitted that 348 of its soldiers have been killed since <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/netanyahu-denies-report-on-reservist-protest-leading-to-oct">Operation Al-Aqsa Flood</a> was launched on October 7.</p>
<p>More recently, the spokesperson for the Israeli military confirmed
that an Israeli soldier was killed in the Gaza Strip while Israeli media
reports revealed that a First Seargent serving under the 202nd
Paratrooper Brigade was critically wounded on the same front on Sunday.</p>
<p>The mounting deaths of Israeli soldiers coincided with an increase in
deaths among Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip. Although the former is
due to the work of Resistance fighters, the latter comes as a direct
result of "Israel's" indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip. So far,
Israeli warplanes and artillery batteries have killed at least 60
captives in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<h2>Defeated on the battlefield; "Israel" intensifies war crimes</h2>
<p>Simultaneously, the number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to a
total of 10,022 Palestinians including 4,104 children, according to the
Ministry of Health in Gaza.</p>
<p>This comes after Israeli occupation forces deliberately cut off
Internet and communication services in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. The
number of martyrs and the extent of the destruction inflicted on the
Gaza Strip became more apparent later on Monday as reports indicated
that at least 200 people were martyred during the attack.</p>
<p>The occupation's <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/u-nprecedented-israeli-bombing-on-gaza--internet-blackout">shelling and airstrikes</a>
targeted several areas in the Gaza Strip, including roads and streets
that lead to the southern part of the Strip. The occupation had
previously announced that the southern sector of the Strip would be a
safe area for Gazans to seek refuge in.</p>
<p>However, quickly after, the occupation targeted a convoy of forcibly
displaced people, as it continues to do to this day according to Gaza's
governmental media office. Emergency services have also been subject to
"Israel's" deliberate bombing, as rescue teams were not allowed to save
injured people and retrieve dead bodies on Monday.</p>
