According to Al Jazeera, The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad says it continues to attack Israeli troops and tanks in the southern city of Rafah after Israel launched a ground offensive there in early May.
"Our mujahideen are engaged in fierce clashes with machine-gun weapons and anti-tank missiles with enemy soldiers and vehicles in the middle of the Yabna camp in the city of Rafah," the al-Quds Brigades said on Telegram.
Fighters also fired a barrage of mortar rounds at Israeli soldiers near the airport in eastern Rafah, it said. Israeli forces in western and central parts of the city blew up several homes, residents said. Medical officials said they recovered 10 bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in eastern areas of the city, some of which had already begun to decompose.
At least 325 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ground assault of Gaza began in late October. Israel's military says at least 15,000 Palestinians fighters have been killed.
