The ongoing conflict in Gaza has seen intensified confrontations between Palestinian resistance factions and Israeli occupation forces. On Sunday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, reported successful strikes against Israeli forces in Rafah and Khan Yunis, resulting in casualties among Israeli soldiers. These actions are part of a broader campaign dubbed the "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle, which includes missile attacks on Israeli settlements like Ashkelon and Sderot. Meanwhile, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of various locations within the Gaza Strip, leading to significant Palestinian casualties, including the tragic aftermath of the Al-Tabaeen School massacre that claimed over 100 lives.
The situation remains dire in Gaza, with reports indicating that over 112 educational institutions have been destroyed and more than 500 teachers killed since the conflict escalated on October 7. The humanitarian crisis in the region is exacerbated by ongoing military operations, leaving tens of thousands of individuals wounded or missing and a looming famine threatening the besieged population. As this conflict continues, the resistance factions have been actively documenting their confrontations and targeting mechanisms, particularly through social media platforms, to raise awareness and support for their cause.
- The Al-Quds Brigades, associated with the Islamic Jihad movement, also confirmed their involvement in the conflict, claiming responsibility for shelling Israeli positions and military vehicles in the Al-Zana area. The ongoing violence has drawn international attention, with calls for an end to hostilities and humanitarian assistance for those affected in Gaza. The humanitarian situation is reported as catastrophic, with a significant number of casualties and a deteriorating living environment for the residents of the strip.
