Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced on Monday that Qassam fighters have managed to completely or partially destroy 71 military vehicles over the past four days. He confirmed the killing of 16 Israeli soldiers and injuries to dozens of others, noting "the execution of 42 military operations which resulted in casualties among soldiers." During these operations, the troops were targeted with projectiles and anti-fortification munitions, engaging them from zero distance, and targeting their rescue teams.
He added, "Two houses and two tunnels were rigged with explosives targeting enemy soldiers, along with a minefield for the occupying forces’ vehicles and soldiers, in addition to two sniping operations and the targeting of a helicopter in the skies over the sector. Our fighters also downed two reconnaissance planes and seized another drone." He continued: "Our fighters bombarded command centers and military gathering areas with mortars and short-range rockets across all combat fronts in the Gaza Strip, showering the city of Tel Aviv in the heart of the entity with a barrage of M90 rockets."
