On the 85th of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Resistance has announced a multitude of operations, conducted by several factions, across the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli occupation admits to additional losses on Saturday.

Tehran (ISNA) - Two officers, a Master Sergeant serving under the Golani Brigade's 7086th Battalion Combat Engineering Corps and a Captain serving as the team commander in the Givati Brigade's reconnaissance unit, were killed by the Palestinian Resistance in the central and southern Gaza Strip, respectively.

Another Golani combat engineer was seriously injured in the same operation in the central Gaza Strip, where the occupation recently expanded its invasion into the al-Bureij refugee camp, suffering heavy losses. The occupation said that another one of its reservists was seriously wounded in the same area.

Additionally, the occupation military's spokesperson said that an officer in the Givati Brigade and a reservist in the Nahal Brigade's Combat Engineering Battalion were seriously injured in the northern Gaza Strip.

The occupation's military also admitted to a serious injury among the ranks of its Nahal Brigade in the Gaza Envelope, just outside the Gaza Strip. Although the IOF's spokesperson did not detail the events leading to the injury, Palestinian Resistance factions have consistently bombarded envelope settlements, targeting groupings of Israeli soldiers and armored vehicle positions.

On the other hand, Resistance factions have relentlessly and effectively pushed back against the occupation's expanded invasion into southern and central areas of the Gaza Strip. Khan Yunis and al-Bureij saw the lion's share of confrontations in these areas, where the Resistance has documented its effective strategies which have cost the Occupation heavy casualties, evident in an increased rate of casualties among occupation soldiers.

Resistance fighters also confronted occupation forces at the Sheikh Aajlin axis near the coast of Gaza. The coastal area is located to the southwest of Gaza City, and a couple of operations announced by the Resistance indicate its ability to conduct operations behind enemy lines.

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, also, led operations throughout the Gaza Strip, destroying or damaging a total of 21 Israeli military vehicles, including Merkava tanks, armored personnel carriers (APCs), and Humvees.
