Hamas’s armed wing says its fighters have targeted “a command and control site” in the so-called Netzarim Corridor south of Gaza City with several short-range missiles.
A statement on Telegram said the attack was carried out in conjunction with the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, another armed Palestinian group.
Qassam Brigades claims attack on Israeli position in Rafah

The group said the operation killed and injured a number of Israeli troops.
Al-Quds Brigades spokesperson says resistance defied Israel’s calculations
Abu Hamza, the spokesman of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, has said Israel’s military setbacks in Gaza is what will force the Israeli government to agree to a deal to end the war.
“Our resistance in Gaza has defied the Israeli enemy’s calculations and prevented it from achieving any of its goals – not giving it an opportunity to take position in any area without having its vehicles and troops targeted,” Abu Hamza told Al Mayadeen TV in a statement.
The Islamic Jihad is a saparate faction than Hamas, but the two groups share a similar ideology, and their armed wings have been conducting joint military operations against Israeli forces.
Abu Hamza said ties between all Palestinian armed groups in Gaza – especially between the Al-Quds Brigades and the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing – are “strong”.
