The spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, confirmed that the movement's fighters managed to blow up a tunnel with several Israeli soldiers inside, resulting in direct casualties at point-blank range. He stated, "Our mujahideen were able to launch an intense barrage of rockets towards 'Tel Aviv' and its surroundings, in addition to shelling military concentrations with mortar fire across all combat fronts. They seized 4 drones." He continued, "We caused dozens of Zionist soldiers to be killed or wounded in 17 different military operations targeting the infiltrating Zionist forces with shells, anti-fortification explosives, and automatic weapons, in addition to sniping a lieutenant and a soldier, killing 15 soldiers from point-blank range."
