The figures underscore the growing toll of nearly 10 months of warfare, with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical and psychological trauma.</p><p>According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical injuries, while more than 10,000 are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the occupation forces.</p><p>The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.</p><p><strong>Hamas rejects US accusations</strong></p><p>The Palestinian Resistance party Hamas has rejected accusations by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that it is unwilling to pursue a ceasefire in Gaza, affirming its continued commitment to “serious and responsible” negotiations aimed at ending the aggression that began on October 7, 2023.</p><p>In an official statement early on Friday, Hamas emphasized that it had submitted its latest response to mediators following “extensive consultations with Palestinian factions, friendly countries, and all concerned parties.” The movement said it had shown flexibility throughout the negotiation process, responding positively to suggestions aimed at overcoming obstacles to a “just and comprehensive” agreement.</p><p>The group stressed that its priority remains “ending the aggression, lifting the siege, and reaching a stable and lasting agreement that preserves the rights and sacrifices of the Palestinian people.”</p><p><strong>US envoy’s remarks dismissed as inaccurate</strong></p><p>Hamas expressed surprise at Witkoff’s recent remarks, in which he accused the group of lacking seriousness and claimed that its latest response showed it was not interested in de-escalation. Hamas described these comments as “inaccurate” and “not reflective of the truth,” noting that the mediators themselves had “welcomed and expressed satisfaction” with the Palestinian response — in stark contrast to Washington’s portrayal.</p><p>The US and Zionist delegations had recently withdrawn from indirect negotiations in Doha, citing what Witkoff described as Hamas’s failure to coordinate a unified Palestinian position. He also criticized the movement for allegedly reversing previously agreed-upon elements of a phased truce.</p> <p><strong>Focus on aid, withdrawal maps, guarantees</strong></p><p>Palestinian sources close to the negotiations said that Hamas’ response focused primarily on three issues: securing the regular entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, clarifying the maps of Zionist military withdrawal, and obtaining credible international guarantees to ensure a permanent ceasefire.</p><p>Hamas reportedly refused alterations made to the US-backed proposal, which Resistance sources say shrinks a proposed 60-day truce down to just one week without guarantees on prisoner releases, reconstruction, or long-term de-occupation commitments.</p><p>Earlier frameworks, initially presented in January and backed by Qatar and Egypt, had included the release of all hostages in stages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian detainees, as well as the phased withdrawal of Zionist forces and international mechanisms for Gaza’s reconstruction. However, the new framework, which bears the imprint of the Netanyahu government and US envoy Steve Witkoff, appears to fall short of those understandings.</p><p><strong>Hamas affirms continued engagement</strong></p><p>Despite the diplomatic fallout, Hamas reiterated that it remains committed to engaging seriously in the negotiations. “We are determined to reach an agreement that serves our people and ends the aggression,” the movement affirmed in its statement.</p><p>The Gaza Strip remains under intensified Israeli bombardment and siege, with the humanitarian situation deteriorating rapidly. Aid access remains intermittent, and ceasefire talks are the only avenue to halting the months-long Zionist military campaign that has displaced over 80% of Gaza’s population and caused unprecedented destruction.</p><p><strong>Ansarallah calls for open borders to allow fighters into battle</strong></p><p>As part of Yemen’s support front, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out 11 operations with hypersonic missiles and drones against Zionist targets in occupied Palestine, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announced.</p><p>In his weekly speech addressing the latest developments regarding the aggression on the Gaza Strip, as well as international and regional events, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that since Yemen began its operations in support of Gaza, a total of 1,679 operations have been carried out, in which a myriad of missiles, drones, and USVs were deployed.</p><p>Furthermore, he reiterated the movement’s commitment to strengthening its military capabilities, vowing that future actions would be “more effective in punishing and pressuring the Zionist enemy.”</p><p>The Yemeni Resistance leader also noted that the maritime blockade on the occupation remains in place, asserting that the port of Umm al-Rashrash, in southern occupied Palestine, has once again been completely shut down as a result.</p><p><strong>Open borders for Yemenis</strong></p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi renewed his appeal to the governments of countries geographically located between Yemen and Palestine to “open passageways for our people,” so that Yemenis mobilize in the hundreds of thousands in support of Gaza.</p><p>“Opening those corridors is something we wish for and continue to pursue,” he added.</p><p><strong>Calls for unprecedented turnout</strong></p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi called for an “unprecedented” mass mobilization across Yemen on Friday, urging the public for a massive turnout in a show of solidarity with Gaza. “This must be a historic turnout,” he said, “especially in light of the disgraceful silence and complicity of most Islamic governments.”</p><p>He affirmed that Yemen’s position remains unchanged despite US, British, and Zionist aggression and that economic warfare, siege, and media campaigns have failed to weaken the resolve of the Yemeni people.</p><p><strong>‘Shameful Silence’ amid Gaza famine</strong></p><p>Addressing the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the Yemeni Resistance leader criticized international organizations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for what he described as a “shameful” failure to act.</p><p>“With Gaza under siege and famine spreading, it is a huge disgrace that the international community and Islamic institutions remain inactive,” he said.</p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi added that Palestinians in Gaza feel abandoned not only by the international community but first and foremost by Arab and Muslim countries. “The responsibility lies with them before anyone else,” he concluded.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20542" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20542</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pij/" target="_blank">#pij</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>

Gaza Resistance Releases Footage of Operations in Jabalia, Shujaiyya
The al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing, shared footage on Saturday of their attacks on Zionist occupation forces and military vehicles in Jabalia, located in northern Gaza, explaining that this operation falls under their ongoing “David’s Stones” campaign.
In a separate statement, the al-Qassam Brigades reported that its fighters, upon returning from combat, confirmed the targeting of an Israeli military D9 bulldozer with a high-explosive landmine near the Erbakan school in Jabalia on July 14, 2025.
On July 16, the al-Qassam fighters targeted a Merkava tank with a high-explosive landmine near the Namaa Club in Jabalia, and in the same area, they struck another tank using an al-Yassin 105 shell.
Al-Quds Brigades destroy Zionist vehicle
On its part, the al-Quds Brigades released footage showing the destruction of a Zionist military vehicle using a high-explosive bomb in the eastern al-Shujaiyya neighborhood in Gaza City.
In Khan Younis, fighters from the al-Quds Brigades successfully targeted a military bulldozer with a side-placed explosive in the Abu Hadaf area, northeast of the city.
Also in Khan Younis, fighters from the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades confirmed upon returning from the frontlines that they had destroyed a military vehicle by detonating a pre-planted explosive near Street 5 in the northern part of the city on July 12, 2025.
Abu Obeida sends a stern warning to the occupation
In this context, the al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida stated in a video address on Friday that the Palestinian Resistance’s current strategy focuses on inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy while actively pursuing the capture of Zionist soldiers.
Abu Obeida noted that al-Qassam’s fighters “are surprising the enemy with new tactics and methods, having learned lessons from the longest war and confrontation in the history of the Palestinian people,”
He cautioned the Zionist government that persisting with the conflict would mean resigning itself to a continued stream of fallen soldiers and officers returning in coffins.
Continued thread
“All factions welcomed this unified reply,” the statement noted, adding that the response was forwarded to mediators “in a positive spirit and with full unanimity” after both internal and external consultations were finalized.
PIJ confirmed that Hamas consulted with them and provided detailed feedback on implementation for a responsible reply.
A #PFLP leadership source told Al-Hadaf that the Front met with Hamas to seriously discuss the draft. They offered feedback and amendments, which were approved, to stop the war and allow aid without obstacles. The PFLP’s changes concerned the wording of clauses to avoid exploitation by the occupation and a return of the aggression.
#DFLP affirmed that they held consultations with Hamas and #PIJ in #Egypt, and the unified national vision for the day after the war.
The #Fatah Al-Intifada movement congratulated #Hamas on its “great national achievement” against the “#zionist occupier and its partner, #American #imperialism and #NATO allies.” They expressed their confidence in Hamas’ continued leadership of the Palestinian resistance on the path to liberation from the river to the sea.

Resistance Inflicts Casualties on Occupiers in Gaza City, Khan Younis
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, carried out a series of coordinated operations today targeting Zionist occupation military vehicles and soldier gatherings in multiple locations across southern and northern Gaza.
According to field sources, the attacks resulted in several killed and wounded among Zionist forces, amid reports of a “serious security incident” affecting the occupation’s forces in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
Al-Qassam targets Zionist engineering diggers, tank, bulldozer
The al-Qassam Brigades announced the targeting of four Zionist engineering excavators with al-Yassin 105 anti-armor rounds, causing them to catch fire directly in the town of Aabasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The group confirmed that its Resistance fighters observed casualties among occupation soldiers at the site of the attack. Zionist helicopters reportedly landed in the area to evacuate the wounded.
Al-Qassam also reported that on the previous day, its fighters targeted a Merkava tank and a D9 military bulldozer with two highly explosive roadside bombs in the same town.
IED explosion on Street 5 in Khan Younis
In a related development, the al-Quds Brigades announced that it detonated a powerful explosive device targeting a Zionist military vehicle advancing on Street 5 in northern Khan Younis.
The group indicated that the operation was part of its ongoing effort to exhaust the occupation forces that have infiltrated the Gaza Strip.
Artillery strikes on Tallat al-Montar east of Gaza City
In the eastern part of Gaza City, in the north of the Strip, al-Quds Brigades reported that its fighters took control of a Zionist reconnaissance drone while it was conducting intelligence missions over the al-Shuja’iya neighborhood.
The group also released footage showing the moment its fighters shelled gatherings of Zionist soldiers and vehicles with mortar rounds around Tallat al-Montar, east of al-Shuja’iya.
It confirmed that the strikes scored direct hits as part of a sustained artillery engagement targeting Zionist military positions.
Serious security incident in Khan Younis
Local Palestinian sources reported preliminary information about a serious security incident affecting the Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younis. The area is currently witnessing heavy Zionist warplane activity.
Zionist Soldier Killed, 10 Wounded in Fierce Confrontations in Khan Younis
The Zionist military confirmed on Tuesday the killing of a soldier from the Golani Brigade’s 12th Battalion and the injury of 10 others, four of them seriously, during a military operation in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
According to Zionist Army Radio, the casualties occurred when Palestinian Resistance fighters planted an explosive device on a Namer armored personnel carrier transporting the unit. The explosion killed one soldier instantly and wounded the others, including a senior officer.
The report added that the Zionist unit had identified the Palestinian fighters moments before the detonation, which triggered a direct exchange of fire between the two sides.
Just hours earlier, a separate Zionist reserve officer was reportedly killed by a booby-trapped explosive rigged inside a building in the same area.
Shin Bet member slain
Zionist media reported that the slain soldier was a member of the Shin Bet.
Identified as Captain Tal Movshovitz, he served as a deputy company commander in the 7086th Combat Engineering Battalion in reserves.
The Shin Bet said that outside of his reserve duty, Movshovitz was a combat commander in the agency.
In a statement following the incidents, the occupation military acknowledged the intensifying nature of engagements in Gaza, citing a rise in confrontations from point-blank.
Al-Qassam, al-Quds Brigades launch joint ops on Zionist forces in Gaza

In a joint operation, fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades and the al-Quds Brigades targeted a Zionist infantry unit that had taken shelter inside a house. The unit was struck with an anti-personnel explosive device, reportedly leaving members of the force either dead or wounded.
Additionally, an al-Qassam Brigades sniper said he had shot and wounded a Zionist soldier in the same location using the locally manufactured Ghoul sniper rifle. The operation took place in the al-Sanati area, east of Abasan al-Kabira near Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

According to a follow-up statement, another Merkava tank was targeted with a powerful explosive device on June 11 along al-Sikka Street in eastern Jabalia.
Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, reported shelling a concentration of Zionist troops and military vehicles stationed around al-Qarara Municipality in northern Khan Younis with a barrage of 60mm mortar shells.
In another development, the al-Quds Brigades said its special forces confronted Zionist troops in close-range combat east of the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City on Sunday evening. The confrontation resulted in Zionist casualties, with several soldiers reportedly killed or injured.
Hamas: Netanyahu’s victory claims are illusions
Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas stressed that the occupations escalating military campaign is “only deepening its losses and pushing its captives further into the unknown.” Hamas reiterated that “there is no solution except through a comprehensive agreement, a path Netanyahu continues to reject.”
Dismissing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rhetoric of “absolute victory” as a “misleading illusion”, Hamas declared that “the war Netanyahu sought to make endless has become a daily burden,” warning that his insistence on prolonging the aggression would ultimately “mark the end of his political and personal career.”
These statements follow reports by Zionist media that 12 soldiers were evacuated from Khan Younis in southern Gaza after a booby-trapped building they were in exploded during an operation.
Most of the injured personnel are reportedly members of elite military units.

Qassam, Saraya al-Quds Strike Collaborationist Forces in Southern Gaza
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that it had, in coordination with Saraya al-Quds, targeted a Zionist-affiliated collaborationist force in the southern Gaza Strip amid ongoing hostilities and stalled ceasefire negotiations.
According to a statement by al-Qassam, the collaborationist unit had taken cover inside a residential building in the European Housing area of Khan Younis. Palestinian resistance fighters reportedly struck the position with a TBG anti-fortification shell and an anti-personnel projectile, resulting in deaths and injuries within the unit.
Clashes between resistance fighters and Zionist troops continued for several hours in the surrounding area.
Separately, Saraya al-Quds said it launched a barrage of mortar shells at a gathering of Zionist soldiers and military vehicles near the Abu Daqa junction in the al-Fukhari area, also southeast of Khan Younis.
The Zionist military acknowledged on Friday that two soldiers had been injured in separate incidents in both the northern and southern sectors of the Gaza Strip, where fierce ground fighting remains ongoing.
Truce Stalemate
These developments come as Hamas reviews the latest Zionist response to a US-backed ceasefire proposal. Senior Hamas official Basem Naim stated that the proposal fails to meet any of the group’s “just and legitimate demands,” particularly the call to halt military aggression and lift the siege.
The proposed deal, reportedly approved by the occupation before being presented by US envoy Steve Witkoff, offers a 60-day renewable truce involving limited prisoner exchanges, but does not guarantee a permanent end to the war. A Hamas source described the new terms as a “retreat” from earlier commitments.
Meanwhile, the Zionist offensive, now in its 20th month, has resulted in the deaths of at least 54,249 Palestinians, the vast majority of them civilians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Since March 18 alone, following the collapse of a previous truce, at least 3,986 Palestinians have been killed.
Despite mounting international pressure for a ceasefire, fighting across the Gaza Strip continues, with resistance factions vowing to confront occupation forces until a comprehensive and just agreement is reached.
