Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for a significant operation yesterday in Khan Younis, where an Israeli force was lured into a booby-trapped two-story building before it was blown up by Resistance fighters. 

The Israeli army admitted today that the operation led to the killing of 3 soldiers of the Bislamach Brigade’s 450th Battalion and the wounding of 14 others, 6 of whom are in serious condition, raising the total number of Israeli soldiers and officers killed by the Resistance in Gaza to 245 since the start of the ground invasion of Gaza.

In a similar operation on Saturday, the group revealed that two anti-personnel IEDs previously planted by the Resistance were detonated against an Israeli unit consisting of 7 soldiers in Khan Younis, confirming direct casualties among the force.

Despite constant violent bombardment and large military forces deployed in al-Zaytoun neighborhood, the Israeli army hasn't been able to stop Resistance operations and has been finding significant difficulty in advancing in the area for almost two weeks.

In a statement, the Resistance group announced that its fighters had seized an Israeli Sky Lark drone that was conducting a spy mission south of the neighborhood in Gaza City.

Furthermore, the Brigades said that its fighters destroyed two Israeli Merkava tanks using Shawaz explosive devices and detonated an anti-personnel IED "Ra'diya" targeting an Israeli patrol unit in another operation.

Two additional Merkavas were targeted with al-Yassin 105 shells in a separate attack, the Resistance added.

On its Telegram channel, al-Qassam published footage of its Resistance fighters confronting invading forces in al-Zaytoun.

In the video, one of the group's fighters appeared to be threatening the occupation soldiers, saying as he prepared to fire a shell at one of the tanks: "We vow to Netanyahu, who wants to dismantle al-Qassam Brigades, that we will dismantle his forces, their bones, and return them to Israel in coffins."
