The Palestinian Resistance is engaged in fierce confrontations against Israeli occupation forces on the 106th day of the conflict, according to the reports.
Tehran (ISNA) - Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza indicated that the confrontations are concentrated in Khan Younis, south of Gaza, as well as in the center of the Strip, especially northeast of the Al-Bureij camp.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced that its Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava tank in Al-Bureij camp using a locally made Al-Yassin 105 shell and shelled the Israeli occupation forces in the camp with mortar shells.
Al-Qassam snipers also targeted an Israeli soldier in Al-Bureij using a homemade al-Ghoul rifle and targeted two other soldiers in Khan Younis.
East of Khan Younis, the Brigades targeted three Israeli Merkava tanks with a homegrown Explosively Formed Penetrator, Shawaz, killing two raiding soldiers, prompting an Israeli helicopter to land to evacuate the killed and wounded soldiers.
Al-Qassam Brigades released footage showing its fighters targeting Israeli forces advancing near the border of Gaza City with mortar shells and 107mm rocket artillery.
In addition, the Palestinian Resistance fighters blew up a tunnel with a number of Israeli soldiers inside, causing casualties among them after managing to lure them to Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
The Brigades also confirmed targeting a fortified building housing Israeli special forces with four RPG shells and engaged with Israeli soldiers using automatic weapons, in addition to targeting an Israeli soldier in the Sheikh Ajleen neighborhood, west of Gaza City, with snipers.
In Al-Zaytun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, Al-Qassam fighters targeted an Israeli tank with an Al-Yassin 105 shell, as well as an Israeli military vehicle with an RPG shell.
The Brigades also detonated an anti-personnel explosive device against an Israeli force and later engaged in direct confrontations with the force's soldiers in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip.
However, Israeli warplanes deliberately targeted Yahalomi again a few days ago with the intention of killing him, and despite their efforts to save his life, he was killed, the Resistance group's statement added.
