The government media office denied GazaThere was no ground advance inside residential neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip. He continued that what happened on Salah al-Din Street was the incursion of a few occupation army tanks and a bulldozer from the open agricultural area. This comes in response to the Israeli army’s claim that it carried out a large ground operation in Gaza.
He explained that these vehicles targeted two civilian cars on Salah al-Din Street, and bulldozed the street before the resistance forced them to retreat. There are currently no occupation army vehicles on the street.
He concluded that the occupation army cannot remain in any area inside the Gaza Strip under resistance strikes, even if it is an open agricultural area.
He was a spokesman Al-Qassam Brigades The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitationHe said, “The brigades continue to confront the enemy and manage the battle efficiently,” and continued, “The enemy brought tanks into soft areas after bombing everything there.”
In turn, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza pointed out that the occupation forces were able to enter Salah al-Din Street, which connects the northern Gaza Strip to the center and south of the Strip.
He continued that the southeastern axis in the Gaza Strip, specifically the part related to the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, is an agricultural area, and includes domestic gas stores and some scattered industrial facilities, and there is no population density there.
He added that this wide area is located adjacent to the Gaza Valley, which the occupation forces talked about and considered it a separator between the center and south of the Gaza Strip, and therefore this area is considered a corridor and the soft flank (in military science), and that is why the occupation forces used it to launch many previous incursions, the most recent of which happened in 2014 war.
He explained that after the 2014 war, we did not witness any incursion from the occupation army, and after all these years it was believed that the Israeli army turned a blind eye to this area, considering that it had become filled with many ambushes.
He pointed out that in 2014, Israeli forces reached Al-Rashid Street and isolated the north from the center and south of the Gaza Strip. They used this area as a military base, a starting point, and a main supply line coming from their forces on the border with Gaza. This area witnessed widespread clashes at that time.
He concluded that the occupation forces are using huge bulldozers to build roads in front of tanks and vehicles in anticipation of ambushes, but this has not happened since 2014, even though the Gaza Strip witnessed 3 major wars and two waves of escalation, and this incursion was unlikely due to resistance reinforcements.
Agence France-Presse quoted witnesses as saying that Israeli tanks arrived at the outskirts of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City. One of them said, “They (the occupation forces) cut off Salah al-Din Street and are shooting at any car that passes there.”
With the beginning of the 24th day of the war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation continued to commit massacres against civilians, and the toll of the aggression rose to 8,005 martyrs, including 3,342 children, 2,062 women, and 460 elderly people, in addition to nearly 20,000 wounded, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
