The Israeli Occupation's aggression against Gaza continues for the 319th consecutive day, marked by brutal massacres, genocide, and the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes. Meanwhile, intense diplomatic efforts are underway to reach a ceasefire and halt the ongoing violence in Gaza.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a proposed exchange and is urging Hamas to accept the offer.

In response, senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan stated that the movement would not change its demands for an end to the war, withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and lifting the siege.

Resistance on the Ground

On the ground, Palestinian resistance continues to confront the Israeli Occupation Forces. The military wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced that it had targeted three Israeli Merkava tanks, an armored personnel carrier, and a military bulldozer in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah.

Resistance Vows Retaliation

The Al-Qassam Brigades have vowed to retaliate against the occupation, stating: "Martyrdom operations within the occupied territories will resurface as long as the massacres, civilian displacement, and assassination policies continue."

The Al-Qassam Brigades, in coordination with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, claimed responsibility for the operation carried out last night in Tel Aviv.
