The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced on Saturday carrying out an ambush in Israeli military force, inflicting confirmed casualties among its members.

The Israeli forces admitted that two more officers succumbed on Saturday to injuries sustained in Gaza yesterday, raising the total number of Israelis killed in Palestinian Resistances' Friday operations to three.

In a statement, the group said it lured an Israeli engineering unit into a pre-rigged tunnel in the military sites area east of Deir al-Balah, before detonating the explosives, killing and wounding its officers and soldiers.
