Hebrew media reports on fierce clashes in the outskirts of Gaza City.

Local sources reported fierce clashes in the outskirts of Gaza City, accompanied by intense airstrikes and artillery shelling by the occupying army. These events come at a sensitive time, as reports of Israeli forces advancing in the area increase, heightening tensions.

Media activists on social media platforms circulated news of a series of difficult security incidents within the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of several Israeli soldiers. Among these incidents, an ambush was reported in the Zeitoun neighborhood, raising significant concern within the occupying army.

Political fears within the occupying state are growing regarding the possibility of four Israeli soldiers being captured by Palestinian factions. It has been indicated that the Israeli army activated the Hannibal Protocol, which allows for the use of heavy weaponry in the event of soldiers being captured, reflecting the level of tension and danger faced by the occupation.

At the same time, a video showed intensive flying of Israeli helicopters over Gaza, along with sounds of clashes that reflect the escalating situation. No official comment has been issued by the occupying army or the armed Palestinian factions regarding these events so far.

These developments come hours after the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, threatened the occupying state with paying the price for its plan to occupy Gaza City with the blood of its soldiers. Abu Obeida confirmed that the Israeli captives would remain with Al-Qassam fighters in combat areas, complicating the situation further.

Human rights reports estimate that there are about 50 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in the occupation's jails, suffering from harsh conditions, raising concerns about human rights in the region.

Since the early hours of Friday morning, the occupying army has intensified its airstrikes on neighborhoods in Gaza City, declaring the city a dangerous combat zone. These strikes come in the context of the ongoing aggression launched by the occupying state since October 7, which has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
