<p>The Palestinian resistance on Friday continued to engage in fierce
confrontations with Israeli occupation forces on multiple fronts in the
Gaza Strip and launching rockets at Israeli settlements as the Israeli
aggression on the blockaded strip persists for the 126th day.</p>
<p>The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic
Jihad movement (PIJ), announced that its fighters fiercely confronted
Israeli occupation soldiers and vehicles using machine guns and
anti-tank rockets in areas resisting the invasion west of Khan Younis in
southern Gaza.</p>
<p>The al-Quds Brigades said they attacked Israeli military vehicles and
assembly points in the eastern part of central Gaza with a barrage of
rockets.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the military wing of the
Fatah movement, announced that its fighters sniped an Israeli soldier
east of al-Maghazi camp in central Gaza.</p>
<p>The Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Mujahideen
Movement, revealed that they shelled the Israeli forces' gatherings in
southeast Gaza with a number of short-range rockets.</p>
<p>An <strong>Al Mayadeen </strong>correspondent reported intense
clashes between the resistance and the occupation in the neighborhoods
of al-Rimal and Sheikh Ajleen in Gaza City.</p>
<p>Various factions of the Palestinian resistance continue to resist the
Israeli forces advancing from various directions in the Gaza Strip,
where fierce clashes are taking place, especially west of Gaza City.</p>
<h2>IOF injuries skyrocketing</h2>
<p>Israeli newspaper<span> </span><em>Yedioth Ahronoth</em><span> </span>reported Thursday <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iof-admits-death-of-soldier-during-confrontations-in-gaza"><span></span>that the IOF has treated</a><span> </span>about 13,000 injured troops since October 7.</p>
<p>As a portion of the injured were discharged after receiving
treatments, 2,830 troops remain in hospitals in ongoing treatment, the
newspaper reported.</p>
<p>The real number of wounded soldiers is in reality much higher than
what the occupation media reports, as the IOF censors the latter and the
occupation continuously attempts to hide the extent of its losses.</p>
<p>This comes in parallel with<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-targets-more-than-18-israeli-soldiers-in-gaza--fo">the Palestinian Resistance's continued engagement<span> </span></a>in
fierce clashes with the IOF on more than one axis in the Gaza Strip,
resulting in material and human losses for the occupation.</p>
<p>The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hamas-responds-to-mediators-proposal--insists-on-full-ceasef">of the Hamas movement</a>,
announced yesterday that they sniped an Israeli officer near the
university area in the center of Gaza, publishing a video clip
showcasing this operation.</p>
<p>Al-Qassam freedom fighters also targeted an Israeli “Merkava” tank
and a “D9” occupation military bulldozer with Al-Yassin 105 charges in
the vicinity of Patient Friends Charity Hospital, west of Gaza while
also targeting a “Merkava 4” tank with a tandem shell, west of the
Al-Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.</p>
<p>In addition, they targeted occupation forces invading the Al-Katiba area, west of Gaza City, with mortar shells.</p>
<p>In a joint operation, the freedom fighters of the Al-Quds Brigades,
the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, and those
of Al-Qassam Brigades, targeted a special Israeli force consisting of 10
Israeli troops hiding in a house west of the city of Khan Younis, using
two anti-personnel shells and machine guns, resulting in the killing
and wounding of Israeli troops.</p></div></div></div>
