ALBAWABA- The Al-Qassam Brigades announced a series of operations targeting Israeli forces in Gaza's Jabalia camp. 

They reported detonating a booby-trapped house, killing and wounding 11 soldiers, as well as eliminating three soldiers at close range in clashes west of Jabalia. Helicopters were seen evacuating casualties. 

Additionally, Al-Qassam claimed to have destroyed an Israeli troop carrier with a Shawaaz bomb in central Jabalia, in northern Gaza.

The Al-Quds Brigades reported shelling Israeli troop gatherings and vehicles with mortar fire near Al-Attar Mosque, southwest of Rafah city.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces intensified their aerial raids across the Gaza Strip. An airstrike targeted a house in the Al-Masalaba area of Al-Zeitoun, south of Gaza City. 

Another raid struck Khalifa bin Zayed School in northern Gaza, resulting in multiple casualties, while two Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an attack near Al-Tabi’in School, east of Gaza City.

In the past 72 hours, Israeli bombardments have killed hundreds of Palestinians, bringing the total death toll to over 45,000, with 120,000 wounded and 1.7 million displaced since the war began. 

Gaza faces near-total destruction under relentless attacks, while talks of a potential ceasefire and prisoner swap, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, are reportedly underway and could materialize within a week.
