The Palestinian Resistance continues its operations on various fronts on the 238th day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, responding to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
This coincides with the Israeli occupation forces withdrawing from Jabalia in the northern part of the Strip, following targeted attacks by the Resistance.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters have sniped at two Israeli soldiers near Sheikh Zayed Square in the northern part of the Strip.
The Brigades’ Military Media released footage documenting Resistance fighters targeting Israeli soldiers and military vehicles, shelling their positions with mortar bombs on the frontlines in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, confirmed that its fighters have killed and injured members of an Israeli special force near the Imam Ali Mosque on the al-Ajarmah Street in Jabalia camp, northern Gaza.
Al-Quds Brigades also announced that its Resistance fighters have engaged Israeli soldiers and vehicles with a barrage of heavy mortar shells in the western part of Rafah, where they had also shelled a gathering of soldiers and military vehicles near the Salah al-Din Gate in the southern part of the city.
Similarly, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers and vehicles with mortar shells in the same area.
The Brigades also announced that its fighters have shelled Israeli forces positioned in Jabalia camp with mortar bombs. It displayed footage documenting its shelling of Israeli forces stationed at the Nitzarim axis in southern Gaza with short-range rockets and mortar shells.
On its part, the al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the al-Mujahideen Movement, announced that its fighters shelled Israeli military vehicles in the al-Abed Jabr area, west of the Salah al-Din Gate in Rafah, with mortar bombs.
In addition, the National Resistance Brigades – Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), confirmed that its Resistance fighters engaged Israeli forces in the western part of the Zor’ob roundabout in Rafah with mortar bombs.
Israeli plan that failed in Jabalia will not succeed in Rafah
As the Palestinian Resistance continues its operations, inflicting losses on the Israeli occupation forces, which admitted to 3,657 injuries since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, former Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon criticized the War Cabinet and the Israeli army’s general staff for their “total failure to achieve the war’s objectives over the past eight months.”
Ramon acknowledged in an article in the Israeli newspaper Maariv that “Hamas remains standing in every area of the Gaza Strip that the Israeli army has withdrawn from.”
He cited Jabalia as evidence of this, explaining that while the Israeli army had announced dismantling Hamas’ military capabilities in its first attack on the northern part of the Strip, it was surprised by the number of Hamas fighters and the amount of fire they managed to unleash in the second attack.
The former minister criticized “Israel’s” continued use of the same strategy in Rafah that it implemented in the northern areas of Gaza, which involves withdrawing forces after claiming “control”. He questioned whether this strategy, which had failed to achieve the war’s objectives in Gaza City and Khan Younis, would “suddenly succeed” in Rafah.
Highlighting the War Cabinet and the general staff’s failures, Ramon warned that “Israel” is on the verge of a strategic defeat, suggesting that the occupation entity officially declare the war’s end, “on the condition that all captives are retrieved.”
