The al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), says its fighters launched an attack on Israeli soldiers inside a building in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The group released a video, which showed an Israeli soldier being spotted inside a building. A Palestinian fighter can then be seen firing a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) at the building, said to be located east of the Jabalia camp, where intense fighting has been ongoing for weeks.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, also claimed a mortar attack on a gathering of Israeli soldiers in Gaza.
