The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced on Tuesday that it had targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks with Yasin 105 and Tandem charges in the central Khan Younis area in southern Gaza.

The brigades also shelled a gathering of enemy soldiers and military vehicles with heavy and medium mortar shells in the al-Baddaw area north of Khan Younis, as part of their ongoing operations to repel Israeli incursions.

Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, declared on Monday that it had destroyed an Israeli military vehicle using a pre-planted anti-armor explosive device. The attack occurred during an incursion by occupation forces in the eastern part of the al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City.

Al-Qassam launches raid on Israeli forces in Khan Younis

On Wednesday, the al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters carried out a raid at dawn against a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles in the Abasan al-Kabira area, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the Brigades said that its fighters targeted a Merkava tank and an armored personnel carrier with Yassin-105 anti-armor shells. Two Israeli military excavators were also hit during the same operation using similar munitions.

The group added that during the operation, its fighters attempted to capture an Israeli soldier. However, due to battlefield conditions, they were unable to do so and instead neutralized the soldier and seized his weapon.

Following the confrontation, al-Qassam fighters observed an Israeli helicopter landing at the site of the operation to carry out an evacuation, underscoring the intensity of the battle in the targeted area.
