*PIJ’s Sarāyā al-Quds Announces Successful Gaza Operation Against Occupation-Backed Militia East of al-Burayj Refugee Camp* Sarāyā al-Quds, the military wing of Ḥarakat al-Jihād al-Islāmī fī Filasṭīn (PIJ), announced on Thursday that its fighters had clashed with a local militia collaborating with the 'Israeli' occupation after detecting its movements east of al-Burayj refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. In its statement, Sarāyā al-Quds said its fighters detected the group’s advance and engaged its members, eliminating and wounding several of them. The announcement coincided with reports that armed militia members had attempted to cross the “Yellow Line” east of al-Burayj refugee camp under 'Israeli' fire and air cover. Radaa, the force affiliated with the Resistance Security in Gaza, reported the attempted crossing. The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) has reported that Palestinian armed groups opposed to the resistance have recently operated in areas of the Gaza Strip under 'Israeli' military control east of the “Yellow Line.” ACLED’s reports indicate that at least five armed groups operate in different parts of the Strip. These groups have carried out incursions, engaged in clashes, and conducted assassinations and abductions targeting security personnel and individuals whom they accuse of collaborating with Ḥamās. ACLED has also documented more than 40 incidents of violence involving these groups since October, resulting in approximately 80 shahīds.
