Hamas fighters intensify operations against IDF in northern Gaza VIDEO

The Palestinian resistance continues its operations against the Israeli military, targeting both personnel and equipment.

Fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, successfully struck an Israeli Merkava tank using an Al-Yassin 105 rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in the Aslan area, west of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, Caliber.Az reports via Arab media.

On November 20, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed the death of a soldier from the Nachshon Battalion (90) and reported that the battalion's commander, a lieutenant colonel, sustained serious injuries during close combat with Palestinian fighters on the outskirts of Jabalia, also in northern Gaza.

In addition, Al-Qassam Brigades, in coordination with the An-Nasser Salah ad-Din Brigades, launched mortar attacks on Israeli forces in the Netzarim area.

This escalation underscores the intensifying clashes in Gaza as both sides endure significant losses.

Notably, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recently reported the deaths of three soldiers from the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion during combat in northern Gaza over the weekend. The fallen soldiers are Sgt. First Class (res.) Idan Keinan, 21; Cpt. Yogev Pazy, 22; and Staff Sgt. Noam Eitan, 21. This brings the total number of Israeli soldiers killed in the ongoing offensive to over 370.

Keinan died on November 16 from sniper fire in Beit Lahiya, while Pazy and Eitan were killed the following day during clashes with Hamas fighters. Another soldier sustained serious injuries in the confrontation.

Pazy was the nephew of former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, who lost a son and another nephew in earlier incidents in Gaza.
