The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, carried out a deadly ambush targeting Israeli forces in Khan Younis on al-Awda Street, east of the al-Farahin area in the southern Gaza Strip.

The al-Qassam ambush in Khan Younis is part of a broader wave of Gaza Resistance operations against the ongoing aggression by the Israeli occupation.

According to a statement released by the al-Qassam Brigades, fighters detonated a pre-planted minefield that targeted a mechanized Israeli force. The operation reportedly resulted in the killing and wounding of several occupation soldiers.

Following the initial explosion, the Resistance fighters also launched mortar shells at the targeted location.

Al-Qassam reported observing a destroyed occupation vehicle being retrieved from the scene, as well as a helicopter landing to evacuate casualties.

The al-Qassam Brigades had executed an ambush on an Israeli infantry engineering force just days earlier in the same area.

The fighters struck the unit with an anti-personnel missile and engaged from close range using machine guns. The confrontation led to the confirmed death and injury of several members of the Israeli force.

After the confrontation, al-Qassam fighters also targeted two occupation tanks and a military bulldozer positioned near the separation fence using al-Yassin 105 charges.
