In a statement, the al-Qassam Brigades said that after its fighters returned from the frontlines, they confirmed “ambushing a Zionist infantry unit in a well-executed trap and engaging them from point-blank with light weapons” in a May 27 operation.

The fighters reported confirmed fatalities and injuries among the invading force. 

Yesterday, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades also announced that its fighters, in coordination with the al-Quds Brigades, engaged an Israeli force that had taken shelter inside a house in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, resulting in casualties among the Israeli troops.
