A single bullet, somewhere between Tal Al-Hawa and Sheikh Radwan neighborhoods, in northern Gaza. The bullet was fired by a Palestinian sniper with Al-Qassam Brigades, using al-Ghoul sniper gun. 

Prior to the firing, three Israeli military men stood in the middle of a destroyed neighborhood. What appeared to be an officer pointed into several directions, giving instructions to his troops. He seemed confident that the Resistance, in that specific spot, had been eliminated. 

But it wasn’t. The Israeli officer fell, and his soldiers ran away. 

This was one of several scenes shared in several videos throughout the day. Again and again, it is clear that the battle in the north is not finished. In fact, it is gaining momentum. 

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
