According to israeli army, 2 explosive-laden drones entered from Lebanon. One was intercepted, while the second hit an area near the northern community of Margaliot.

The IOF did not publish information on casualties in the drone attack.

Other media reports several casualties

During the fighting in Shujaiyah area in Gaza City, Israeli forces mistakenly identified three Israeli prisoners as locals or Hamas fighters and shot them dead.

After examining the area, the Israeli army had doubts about the identity of the dead and finally transferred their bodies to the occupied territories, and after examining the bodies, it was discovered that these that they were three Israeli prisoners in Gaza!

The names of the killed prisoners are Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka and Alon Lulu Shamriz.

After the publication of this terrible news, the families of the Israeli prisoners gathered in front of the building of the Ministry of War of the Israeli regime and chanted harsh slogans. They demand an immediate stop to the operation of the Israeli army in Gaza and to negotiate for the release of the prisoners.

Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth": The 77th Battalion of the Seventh Brigade in the "Israeli" army has lost 7 tanks so far in the Gaza Strip.



Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth", reporting an officer in the 77th Battalion of the "Israeli" army: "We are extremely irritated from the anti-tank missiles in Gaza."



Sirens sound in several settlements in the Finger of Galilee [ Galilee Panhandle] and Upper Galilee near the Lebanese-Palestinian border amid fears of drone infiltration.



"Israeli" media: Explosions were heard in the Upper Galilee.


"Israeli" Channel 12: Following sirens in the Upper Galilee, air defenses were activated to intercept a suspicious target infiltrating from Lebanon.



"Israeli" Channel 13: A suicide drone launched from Lebanon exploded in Margaliot settlement, with reported injuries.

Al-Qassam Brigades released video of targeting Israeli vehicles, tanks and soldiers in the Sheikh Radwan area of Gaza City. At the end of the video, an Israeli military dog that was killed in a tunnel is shown!

Maersk has announced that it is temporarily suspending flights to Israel due to the threat of attacks from Houthi drones and anti-ship missiles. The United States and Israel cannot do anything about the fact that the Houthis are actually increasing the naval blockade of Israel from the Red Sea and causing huge losses to the Israeli economy.

Iran's investments in Ansar Allah are producing excellent results.

Quite rare footage of a successful attack by Hamas militants on an IDF position in the Juhr al-Dik area in the eastern Gaza Strip has emerged. During a short firefight, they managed to eliminate at least one Israeli soldier and loot his equipment.

Al-Qassam (Hamas) has so far today, targeted:

3 Merkava tanks
1 APC
1 D9-military bulldozer

An infantry force inside a building, resulting in 1 killed and 1 wounded.

Completely destroyed a military vehicle with 2 Yassin-105’s, causing it to burn completely.
Completely destroyed an APC with a Shawaz explosive.
Completely destroyed a Merkava tank with a guerrilla explosive device

Detonated 2 “thunder” explosives on 7 IOF soldiers, leaving them dead & wounded. Immediately after the rescue force arrived to rescue them, Hamas detonated a 3rd explosive device among them, leaving them dead & wounded.

CENTCOM: The USS CARNEY in the Red Sea engaged 14 suicide drones launched from Yemen (this is related to the announcement Yahya Sarae (https://t.me/FotrosResistance/3089) made earlier today).

IMPORTANT: Statement by Abu Obeida:

The enemy continues to gamble with the lives of its imprisoned soldiers held by the resistance, indifferent to their families' feelings. Yesterday, they deliberately killed 3 of them, choosing to kill them rather than release them.

This is the same blatant criminal behavior it has exhibited and continues to engage in with its captives in Gaza—an desperate attempt to rid itself of the burden of this issue and its well-known implications.

Sniped 3 IOF soldiers in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.

BREAKING: The largest shipping company in the world, the Swiss-Italian MSC, has decided to cease all shipments in the Red Sea in response to the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeting (https://t.me/PalestineResist/22386) any ship headed to the zionist entity's "Eilat" port in southern occupied Palestine until the siege of Gaza is lifted.

In just 24 hours, the top three global shipping companies (MSC, Maersk (https://t.me/PalestineResist/23041), and CMA CGM (https://t.me/PalestineResist/23126)) have suspended their operations in the Red Sea, two weeks after the largest zionist shipping company (ZIM) suspended (https://t.me/PalestineResist/21160) their operations in the area.

Collectively, these four companies represent 2,197 ships, 49% of the global market share for shipping container companies, and about $150 billion in annual revenue.

Hezbollah published footage of their attack on the Metat military base on 15 December.

You can clearly see the extensive damage to this base from the last attack, (https://t.me/FotrosResistance/2820) when it was hit with a powerful duo ATGMs
