Five Palestinians including three fighters affiliated with the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, were injured Wednesday during Israel aerial and artillery attacks in the Abasan village, southern Gaza Strip. Palestinian local sources told the PIC reporter that a large number of IOF troops reinforced by tanks and air cover invaded the village amid intensive gunfire and bombardment and was met with fierce resistance by the Palestinian fighters spearheaded by the Qassam Brigades. Security sources reported that an Israeli drone fired an air-to-surface missile at a group of the Qassam fighters during their confrontations with the IOF troops who invaded Abasan at dawn which resulted in serious-to-moderate injury to three of them.
