Resistance to the Zionist Entity Continues Unfettered
Palestine
5 Israeli soldiers have been injured in Gaza on Thursday, as the Palestinian resistance keeps up the struggle against Zionist occupation forces in the besieged enclave, despite the brutal war which has entered its 650th day.
Israeli media reported on Thursday morning that five soldiers were injured in Gaza battles.
The occupation military (Israeli occupation Forces – IOF) acknowledged to the injury of four soldiers, according to a statement.
It announced that soldiers with the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion were seriously wounded, and two officers were moderately and lightly injured during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip.
The four troops were injured by gunfire carried out by Hamas gunmen in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood, the IOF announced.
Meanwhile on Thursday, Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad resistance group, announced its fighters shelled the Israeli settlement of Be’eri.
Earlier, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, announced on Wednesday that it had targeted an Israeli command and control post in southern Gaza, as part of a joint operation with the al-Quds Brigades.
According to a statement released Wednesday, the attack was carried out using mortar shells and struck the Israeli site in the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis.
In a separate operation, Al-Qassam fighters shelled a gathering of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles near the al-Muhandis Hall in the al-Satra al-Gharbi area, north of Khan Younis, also using mortars.
The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Thursday that it had launched a series of rocket attacks targeting Sderot, Mefalsim, and Nir Oz settlements located in the Gaza envelope.
Earlier, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces confirmed the launch of two rockets from the Gaza Strip toward the area, triggering air raid sirens.ast night
In a separate statement, the brigades reported that its fighters targeted a vehicle transporting undercover Israeli forces, known as mista’aravim, with an RPG in the middle of Jala Street in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
The Resistance group said a direct confrontation followed the strike, involving automatic weapons and hand grenades, resulting in casualties among the Israeli unit.
The al-Quds Brigades also released footage showing the targeting of the Be’eri settlement with multiple rockets as a response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes.
Yemen
In support for the oppressed Palestinian people and their resistance, and in response to the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against the people in the Gaza Strip, the missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport (Ben Gurion) in the occupied Yaffa (Tel Aviv) region using a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile, the military spokesman General Yahya Saree said.
The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, causing millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and halting airport operations, he added.
The Yemeni Armed Forces called on all the people of the Arab and Islamic nation to come out in support of Gaza, “as their pain has intensified and their fear has increased, as they are subjected to an unjust, unending siege and a sinful, relentless aggression.”
“If you cannot stand up for your religion, then stand up for your Arab identity. If you cannot stand up for your Arab identity, then stand up for your humanity. If the criminal enemy succeeds in implementing its plan in Gaza, your turn will come sooner or later … O Allah, let this be reached out, O Allah, bear witness.
Our operations will continue until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted, General Saree maintained.
Iran
Iranian strikes on the Israeli enemy continue as part of the Islamic Republic’s response to the Israeli aggression targeting it.
In this context, Israeli media reported on Friday morning that an Iranian missile fell directly on a site in the city of Beersheba in southern occupied Palestine, causing 36 injuries among settlers and significant damage to several buildings.
According to reports, the missile caused widespread destruction and led to the closure of the city’s train station due to damage. It also set a number of vehicles ablaze in the area.
“Israeli” media reported that the Iranian missile targeted a center for high-precision technology, research, cybersecurity, and information technology, near a Microsoft building in Beersheba. Israeli media confirmed that initial estimates indicate the missile carried multiple explosive warheads, causing significant damage. This marks one of the most significant precision strikes in the recent wave of missiles launched by Iran deep into the occupied territories.
Iranian strategic missiles have inflicted heavy losses on a number of the occupation’s security and financial centers in Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and the Negev.
As “Israel” continues its attacks on Iranian territory, Iran has been responding to the aggression under Operation Truthful Promise 3, targeting Israeli military and strategic positions across the occupied Palestinian territories with ballistic missiles and drones.
