The Palestinian Resistance continued what could be considered a counteroffensive against Israeli soldiers in various parts of the Gaza Strip. 

The Resistance has succeeded in reorganizing its forces in northern Gaza, and it’s now repelling Israeli attacks at several fronts, including the Jabaliya and Zaytoun axes. 

Meanwhile the battle in Rafah is intensifying, as Palestinian Resistance is targeting invading troops in the east Rafah region along with the Rafah Crossing. 

In today’s operations, the Resistance employed various types of tactics including complex operations conducted jointly between various groups, dropping bombs from drones, and using Yassin-105 shells, among other tactics. 

A recurring theme in the Resistance statements received by the Palestine Chronicle was the fighting on George Street in eastern Rafah, where the heaviest of clashes are currently taking place. 

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
