As the Israeli military is rejigging its forces in parts of the Gaza Strip, going as far as withdrawing an entire division, the Palestinian Resistance continues to adapt to the new battlefield.
It seems that no matter what the Israeli military does, and despite all statements by the Israeli government, the Resistance continues to prevent the invading forces from having any tangible operational control on the ground.
Below are the latest statements by leading Palestinian Resistance groups in Gaza, and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, with updates from the battlefields.
The statements below are published without any editing by the Palestine Chronicle and were sent through the groups’ Telegram channels.
