2 for 1: Gaza sniper kills two Israeli soldiers with one bullet

The Palestinian Resistance continues seven months into the war to inflict severe casualties upon the Israeli occupation forces in fierce confrontations all over the embattled Gaza Strip.

The fighters of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, sniped three Israeli soldiers in the north of Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam Brigades published footage showing several Israeli soldiers standing near a fence before two of them stood directly in the crosshairs of the Palestinian fighter as they were hit with a bullet before falling to the ground.

A third Israeli soldier was sniped before flipping over and falling to the ground, presumably after he was shot in the back.

In southern Gaza, al-Qassam’s fighters attacked an Israeli Merkava tank using a Yassin-105 anti-tank RPG southeast of the city of Rafah.

In the same neighborhood, the Palestinian fighters finished off two Israeli soldiers.

Al-Qassam forces also bombed an Israeli site east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Moreover, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), launched mortar shells toward the Israeli supply lines in Netzarim, south of Gaza.

A joint operation took place between al-Quds Brigades and al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, where fighters from both factions attacked an Israeli assembly point and several military vehicles near the Jabalia refugee camp.

Ongoing operations

Media correspondent in Gaza confirmed Tuesday that fierce clashes are taking place between the Resistance and the Israeli occupation forces east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. 

The Military Media of the al-Qassam brigades published footage of its forces engaging an Apache helicopter with a SAM-7 missile, east of Jabalia. 

Its fighters also sniped an Israeli occupation soldier east of the Jabalia camp and targeted IOF stationed inside the Rafah land crossing, south of Gaza, with mortar shells.

In another video clip, al-Qassam documented the targeting of two Merkava tanks with anti-armor devices and a sticky explosive device in the middle of the Jabalia camp, in cooperation with al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine.

In turn, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades published footage of the targeting of the Netzarim axis using a 107 missile launcher.

The Brigades reported that their fighters engaged in fierce clashes with the occupation soldiers with machine guns, and were also able to target an occupation vehicle with an RPG shell in al-Ajarma Street fighting axis in the Jabalia camp, northern Gaza Strip.

They also bombed a gathering of occupation vehicles and soldiers east of Jabalia camp using a barrage of regular 60-caliber mortar shells. 

In addition, al-Aqsa Martyrs fighters heavily bombed IOF gatherings and vehicles east of Rafah with a barrage of heavy-caliber mortar shells.

In a joint operation with the Martyr Abdul Qader al-Husseini Brigades, they bombed concentrations of occupation soldiers and vehicles in the Taqaddum axis in the al-Amal neighborhood area, with a 107mm missile launcher.

IOF acknowledged two soldiers killed, four injured in Gaza

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed on May 19 that two soldiers were killed and four others were injured during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip, as reported by Israeli media.

The IOF provided details, confirming the killing of two sergeants from the Givati Brigade during battles in the southern Gaza Strip, and published their names.

The army also admitted that an officer and two other soldiers from the Givati Brigade were seriously injured, along with a reserve soldier from the Bridges 5832 Northern Region Engineering Battalion, in the southern Gaza Strip.

On May 18, the Israeli occupation’s military admitted to the death of an Israeli soldier during confrontations in northern Gaza.
