In a related context, correspondents in Gaza reported that Palestinian factions are engaged in violent clashes in Hamad City in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, amid intensive shelling by Israeli forces, and pointed out that residents in the city are under siege by Israeli forces after heavy shelling of the area.
These events come within the framework of the continuing confrontations between the Palestinian factions and the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, where the resistance continues to confront Israeli attacks within the framework of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” saga, which entered its 149th day.
In a separate incident, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, announced that its fighters had taken control of an Israeli Skylark reconnaissance aircraft south of the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Palestinian factions confirmed that their fighters blew up two Israeli tanks of the type “Merkava” with “Shawaz” devices, in addition to the detonation of an anti-personnel device “thunder” in an Israeli foot force and targeting two Israeli tanks of the type “Merkava” with “Yassin 105” shells, explaining that these operations are all in the southeast of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
Al-Qassam showed scenes of its fighters confronting the Israeli occupation forces incursion into the Zeitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
