Resistance fighters foil IOF incursion in Gaza

Palestinian resistance fighters foiled an attempt by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) to infiltrate into northern Gaza at dawn Tuesday, a communiqué said.

The Mujahideen Brigades and the Nasser Salahuddin Brigades said in a joint communiqué that their fighters confronted a special IOF unit that tried to infiltrate into northern Gaza in the former Dugit settlement location.

The two groups said their fighters blasted two explosive devices in the advancing unit and engaged its members for ten minutes after which the IOF soldiers retreated, adding that casualties were inflicted in lines of the soldiers.

“The criminal enemy believed that it weakened the resistance following the ferocious war it waged on Gaza Strip,” the communiqué said, adding that the war only strengthened the resistance fighters and boosted their military expertise.

The armed wings said that they would confront and repel any IOF incursion, warning the IOF of big losses in the event it ventured into Gaza.
