Hamas Movement announced on Saturday that the Israeli ground attack had failed, saying significant losses were inflicted upon the occupation forces.

“The enemy fell into ambushes set up by the Palestinian resistance on three fronts,” said the group in a statement, adding that resistance fighters used Kornet anti-tank missiles and Yassin shells against occupation forces.

The zionist occupation regime used helicopters to evacuate the wounded and the dead from the battlefield, the group stated, expecting that the israeli occupation will try further incursions.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, the zionist army shared a footage of occupation forces operating in the Gaza Strip. The undated video showing tanks was shared through the military’s official account on X.

Earlier on Friday, zionist occupation army said ground troops were “expanding their efforts inside Gaza to dismantle the infrastructure of Hamas.” Late Friday night, Palestinian media also reported that Israeli tanks were taking their position within the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli incursion was preceded by a near-total blackout of internet and cellphone service. The largest telecommunications provider in Gaza that was still largely operational, Paltel, said Friday that it had suffered a complete disruption of all services after heavy Israeli bombing earlier in the day destroyed its last remaining infrastructure connecting it to the global internet.

NetBlocks, a U.K. company that tracks global internet connectivity, said the bombing created the biggest internet blackout since the conflict began. (ILKHA)
