Clashes kill 12 militants, 6 soldiers in N. Pakistan

At least 12 militants and six soldiers were killed during two separate clashes in Pakistan’s northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province bordering Afghanistan, said military on Friday.

According to Pakistan military’s media wing Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces intercepted a group of seven militants attempting to cross the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near the Spinwam area in North Waziristan district of KPK.

In the ensuing exchange of heavy fire, all seven militants were killed. The forces recovered a large cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives from the group, said ISPR.

Moreover, a second clash occurred in the Ladha area of South Waziristan tribal district of the province, where militants attacked a security post.

The attack was thwarted by the security forces eliminating five militants. However, six soldiers were martyred during the intense gunfire, the military confirmed.

It further stated that clearance operations are currently ongoing in the region to ensure the eliminat
ion of any remaining militants.

“Pakistani security forces remain committed to eradicating terrorism and safeguarding the nation, with the sacrifices of their soldiers further strengthening this resolve,” ISPR concluded.

Earlier in the week, at least three terrorists were killed in a security operation in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, said the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD).

The operations come at a time when Pakistan has witnessed a rise in terror attacks especially in KPK and Balochistan provinces bordering Afghanistan.

Al-Qassam takes control of an explosive vehicle and drones belonging to the occupation in Rafah…and targets its soldiers with shells

Gaza – Ma’an – The Palestinian resistance continues the battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, and confronts the war of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation for the 351st day in the Gaza Strip, and continues its operations in various combat axes.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, announced on Saturday that its fighters had managed to target two houses, inside which a number of occupation soldiers were holed up, with 4 anti-personnel and anti-fortification shells east of the Al-Tannour neighborhood, in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam confirmed that Israeli soldiers were killed and wounded, and monitored the landing of helicopters to evacuate them.

In the same area, Qassam fighters targeted a D9 military bulldozer with a Yassin 105 shell.

The military media of the Qassam Brigades published scenes of Qassam fighters seizing a booby-trapped military vehicle and drones in the eastern area of ??Rafah city, south of the Strip.

The video
clip showed one of the Qassam Brigades fighters inspecting the military vehicle, and dismantling the explosive materials from the vehicle, which the occupation usually leaves in specific areas to detonate again on the resistance elements.

The Qassam fighter sent a message to Netanyahu and his soldiers, as he stood next to the booby-trapped vehicle: ‘Fight us with your soldiers and you will drown in the sands of Rafah,’ threatening, saying: ‘Their soldiers are afraid to come to us, and by God we will drink their blood.’

In the scenes shown by Al-Qassam, a number of drones that its fighters had seized appeared, including one of the ‘Quadcopter’ type. The Brigades also showed, within the scenes, some footage recorded by the drones of the occupation soldiers, their equipment and their positions.

In addition, the ongoing resistance operations are increasing the occupation’s losses, as acknowledged by the occupation’s media, as Israeli media platforms reported that a number of occupation soldiers were injured as
a result of the explosion of anti-tank missiles in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Gaza: A new massacre in Al-Zeitoun neighborhood and targeting of a health center in Rafah

Gaza – Ma’an – At least 21 citizens were killed and dozens were injured in a violent Israeli airstrike that targeted Al-Falah School, which houses displaced people in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

Our correspondent said that the aircraft targeted the displacement center, which includes three schools, which led to the death and injury of a large number of martyrs and wounded, most of whom were women and children.

The martyrs and wounded were transferred to the nearby Baptist Hospital, while confirming that there are more citizens under the rubble.

In a related context, the Health Ministry in Gaza announced the martyrdom of five employees of the Ministry of Health and the injury of others, as a result of targeting the ministry’s warehouses in the Musabah area, south of the Gaza Strip.

The Health Ministry confirmed that ambulance crews are unable to reach to retrieve the martyrs and treat the wounded.

The Ministry of Health appealed to all international organizations and concerned parties
to intervene in order to protect and rescue the wounded from the site.

In turn, the government media office said that the “Israeli” occupation army is committing a horrific massacre by bombing the (Al-Zeitoun C) school, which shelters thousands of displaced people south of Gaza City, killing 21 martyrs and wounding 30 so far, most of them children and women.*

The Israeli occupation army committed a horrific, brutal massacre by bombing the (Al-Zeitoun C) school in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood in the south of the Gaza Strip. This brutal massacre has claimed the lives of 21 martyrs so far, including 13 children and 6 women, including a 3-month-old fetus. This crime has also caused 30 injuries, including 9 children whose limbs have now been amputated, and the rest of the injuries are terrible burns, in addition to 2 missing persons so far.

He pointed out that this horrific massacre committed by the occupation comes within the framework of the crime of genocide committed by the “Israeli” occupation, as the numbe
r of shelters bombed by the occupation reached 181 displacement and shelter centers.

This crime comes at a time when the health situation in the Gaza and North governorates, which are home to 700,000 people, is difficult. The remaining hospitals in these two governorates are unable to provide good health and medical services as a result of the occupation’s plan to completely destroy the health system.

The government office condemned the “Israeli” occupation for committing this horrific massacre and the ongoing massacres against civilians, children and women, and we call on all countries of the world to condemn these ongoing crimes against the displaced and against civilians.

We hold the “Israeli” occupation and the American administration fully responsible for the continuation of the crime of genocide and the continuation of committing these massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip, and we also hold them responsible for targeting and bombing shelters and schools.

He called on the international commun
ity and all UN and international organizations to pressure the occupation to stop the crime of genocide and stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.
