Resistance Strikes Intensify… Raids and Shelling Break the Enemy’s Back; Israeli Officer Killed North of Gaza

In a new field escalation that underscores the failure of the occupation’s military apparatus against the will of the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance, resistance factions over the past hours carried out a series of precision offensive operations across several axes in the Gaza Strip. These strikes resulted in fatalities and injuries and inflicted direct damage to enemy vehicles and tanks, while the occupation army acknowledged the death of a senior officer in battles north of the Strip.

The following report compiles frontline actions to illustrate the scale of the blows delivered by the courageous Palestinian resistance and the military and media exhaustion inflicted on the enemy.

Al-Qassam Engage at “Zero Distance,” Inflict Casualties on Enemy Soldiers

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters executed a high-value field raid on a gathering of enemy soldiers and vehicles near Birket al-Shaykh Radwan in Gaza City, engaging in direct close-quarters combat “from zero distance” with occupation troops, resulting in enemy dead and wounded.

The statement emphasized that fighters stormed enemy positions and engaged them with small arms and hand grenades, using an offensive tactic aimed at breaking the invaders’ resolve and disrupting their deployment within the city.

Al-Qassam Hit a Merkava Tank with Two “Al-Yasin 105” Rounds South of Gaza City

In the same escalation, the al-Qassam Brigades confirmed that they targeted a Merkava tank south of Gaza City with two “Al-Yasin 105” rounds, skillfully striking the armored capability of the enemy and demonstrating that tanks no longer guarantee protection for their troops in the combat zones.

This strike forms part of a systematic campaign to deplete armored materiel and reduce the operational advantage of the enemy’s technology on the ground.

Saraya al-Quds Pound Enemy Vehicles in Tel al-Hawa Neighborhood

Saraya al-Quds (the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement) announced that it targeted enemy vehicles operating in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in southwestern Gaza City with 60mm mortar rounds yesterday evening, representing a direct field response to any hostile movement inside the neighborhood and showcasing the factions’ ability to detect and accurately hit concentrations of enemy forces.

Enemy Admits: Officer Killed in Battles North of the Strip

In an official admission exposing the scale of losses, the “army” of the Zionist enemy acknowledged the death of an officer with the rank of major—who commanded a company in the 77th Battalion—during confrontations with the resistance north of the Gaza Strip.

This loss adds a new chapter to the record of declining morale among the enemy’s leadership ranks, while field accounts continue to indicate that the true numbers of casualties are larger than what Tel Aviv reports.

Brief Tactical Readout — Features of the Current Phase

Shift to close-quarters offensive tactics: Recent scenes (zero-distance raids, targeting of tanks, shelling of concentrations) reveal a transition by the resistance from defense to organized, proactive offensive pressure on enemy contact points.

Combined-arms integration: Artillery strikes, guided explosives, and close engagements demonstrate the factions’ diverse and integrated capabilities.

Moral and strategic impact: The death of an officer and admissions of injuries and fatalities deepen the crisis of confidence within the Israeli military institution and amplify the political and media repercussions for the entity.

Continuation of the struggle: With each new operation the attrition equation grows; the resistance persists in applying pressure until it achieves its field and political objectives.

In conclusion, facts on the ground prove that the Palestinian resistance keeps the initiative; battlefronts show no pause—from direct clashes to targeting of armor and troop formations.

These successive strikes send a clear message: the land is Palestinian, and the resistance can turn every enemy move into a costly price to be paid.
