All three major Palestinian and Lebanese fighting forces reported decisive operations against the Israeli army, both in Gaza and in northern Israel. 

Al-Qassam blew up an Israeli tank, targeted Israeli infantry forces and ambushed others.

Al-Quds Brigades struck several Israeli targets in Khan Yunis and its environs, while Hezbollah has targeted, using ‘appropriate weapons’, many Israeli military positions at the Eastern and Western sectors.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form. 

Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)

“Al-Qassam fighters trapped two Zionist infantry forces into a tight ambush and clashed with their members from point-blank range in the L tower complex of Hamad Town, north of the city of Khan Yunis. Enemy planes were monitored evacuating the dead and wounded.
