The military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, confirmed that their fighters "managed during the last 72 hours to completely or partially destroy 41 military vehicles, kill 25 soldiers, and injure dozens of Israeli soldiers with varying degrees of wounds." He continued: "Israeli forces were targeted with shells and anti-fortification and personnel explosives and engaged with them from point-blank range while also targeting their rescue teams. Two tunnels and a house were rigged with explosives and blown up against the occupation soldiers." He added that a sniper operation targeted one of the soldiers and that command posts and military gathering sites were hit with mortar shells and short-range rockets across all fighting fronts in the Gaza Strip. "Resistance fighters bombarded the city of Tel Aviv in the midst of the occupying entity with a barrage of rockets, in addition to firing a volley of rockets toward the settlement of Kiryat Shmona in northern occupied Palestine," he indicated. He noted that "two tunnels and a house were rigged with explosives and detonated against the occupation soldiers, along with the sniping of one soldier."
