As more Israeli soldiers fall under the hits of the Palestinian Resistance, more Israel bombs fall on civilian homes.
More Qassam Yassin-105 shells. More videos of Israeli tanks being hit or blown up. More shells being fired at Israeli military positions. More Israeli soldiers sniped. And, yet more assurances by Israel that a ‘total victory’ is still possible.
Most of the fighting today centered around Jabaliya, in the north, and Rafah in the south, although the extent of the Israeli massacres have reached every part of the Gaza Strip.
And as more Israeli soldiers fall under the hits of the Palestinian Resistance, more Israel bombs fall on civilian homes, creating devastation and an ever growing death toll.
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.
