A statement from the military spokesperson of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced: "During the last 72 hours, Al-Qassam fighters have managed to completely or partially destroy 135 military vehicles across all combat fronts in the Gaza Strip. They caused dozens of Israeli soldiers to be killed or wounded by detonating several tunnel openings and homes that were booby-trapped, targeting the invading Israeli forces in their positions with anti-fortification projectiles, shells, and anti-personnel explosives, engaging them at close range. They also shelled military gatherings with mortars and short-range rockets and launched intensive rocket barrages toward various targets with different ranges into the Zionist entity."
