The Palestinian resistance fighters launched a series of rockets targeted Israeli occupation military groupings in the Gaza Envelope.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades all took part in the coordinated attacks.
The PFLP launched rockets from the central Gaza Strip towards Israeli military targets in response to Israeli crimes against Palestinians.بالفيديو | سرايا القدس تعرض مشاهد من الرشقات الصاروخية التي قصفت بها المدن المحتلة ومستوطنات غلاف غزة pic.twitter.com/ExvzqfRNvh

Meanwhile, al-Qassam Brigades targeted the 'Netsarim' Axis, and PIJ's al-Quds Brigades attacked occupied Askalan and the settlement city of Sderot.
Sirens blared in northern Askalan as the rockets hit their intended targets.
In addition to the rocket attacks, ground operations saw al-Qassam fighters booby-trapping tunnels and setting up minefields in al-Mughraqa.بالفيديو | سرايا القدس كتيبة جنين تسيطر على طائرة مسيرة 'درون' تابعة لجيش الاحتلال من نوع (DGI Matrice) والحصول على ما تحوي من معلومات وبيانات ذات أهمية بعد سقوطها إثر خلل فني أصابها خلال قيامها بمهمة استخباراتية في منطقة 'الجلمة' شمال مدينة جنين pic.twitter.com/5zqkEnD3fj

These traps led to the deaths and injuries of several Israeli soldiers in an ambush.
Armored vehicles were also destroyed in the attacks.
The intensification of rocket barrages and ground operations show the determination of Palestinian resistance fighters to defend their territory and respond to Israeli aggression.
