“Israeli” aggression enters 294th day
The assault on the Gaza Strip has entered its 294th day, with the Israeli occupation forces committing massacres targeting displacement camps. Over the past 24 hours, more than 30 Palestinians have been martyred.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movements (Hamas), announced that fighters lured “Israeli” troops into two tunnels in the Yibna camp in Rafah and detonated them as the soldiers entered.
They also reported sniping an Israeli soldier with a "Ghoul" rifle in the Al-Zanna area east of Khan Younis. Additionally, in coordination with the Al-Quds Brigades, they shelled an Israeli military position near Al-Dhalal Mosque east of Khan Younis with mortar shells.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the number of martyrs since October 7 has reached 39,175, with 90,403 injured.
Reuters reported that an American official stated negotiations for a ceasefire agreement and prisoner release appear to be in their final stages.
President Joe Biden met with “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, where discussions focused on the urgent need for a ceasefire agreement, according to John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications.
In the West Bank, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) reported that three of its soldiers were injured in a shooting incident in Nabi Elias, east of Qalqilya.
Al-Qassam Brigades also released footage of a triple ambush set up near the village of Moutella in Jenin 48 hours ago. Hamas official in the West Bank, Zahir Jabarin, stated in press remarks that there is coordination, cooperation, and exchange of expertise between resistance factions in the West Bank.
