“Al-Qassam fighters managed in the last 72 hours to completely or partially destroy 41 military vehicles,” he said.

“Our fighters confirmed killing 25 soldiers and injuring dozens of the israeli soldiers with varying degrees of wounds,” he added, saying that they also targeted the infiltrating israeli forces with shells and devices, anti-fortification and personnel shells, engaging in close-quarter combat, and targeting their rescue teams.

“Our resistance fighters rigged two tunnels and a house and detonated them in the occupation soldiers, in addition to a sniping operation targeting one of the soldiers.”

“They bombarded the headquarters, field command rooms, and military gatherings with mortar shells and short-range missiles on all fronts of the fighting in the Gaza Strip.”

Earlier today, Al-Qassam Brigades said in a separate statement that its fighters targeted an Israeli vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza with seven soldiers inside, using a Yassin-105 shell.

The statement indicated that its fighters clashed with an Israeli force in the Saraya area of Gaza City, and they confirmed that four soldiers had been killed and others wounded.

Al-Qassam added that it targeted an israeli Merkava tank with the Yassin-105 shell in the Tal al-Zaatar area in the northern Gaza Strip.

The group also said that it targeted 12 soldiers holed up inside a building in the Daraj neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.

A short while ago, al-Qassam said it had targeted three israeli Merkava tanks with Yasin-105 shells east of the Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam said its fighters targeted eight israeli vehicles in the areas of Sabra and Tal al-Hawa in Gaza City.

Al-Qassam also announced that it had targeted two israeli tanks and a troop carrier with an explosive device and Yassin-105 shells in the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. (ILKHA)
