The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, released new combat footage documenting targeted operations as part of its ongoing campaign titled David’s Stones, including a direct strike on an Israeli Merkava tank in southern Khan Younis.
According to the footage, fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank shell to target the tank near Abu Sharakh junction, amid continued confrontations with Israeli occupation forces along various axes of incursion. The video also showed mortar attacks on Israeli troop concentrations in multiple areas of Gaza.

In a separate operation documented by al-Qassam, fighters reportedly destroyed an Israeli bulldozer, a Bagger, using a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) in the Tel al-Zaatar area, east of Jabalia refugee camp, on May 29. The group said the blast killed the vehicle’s operator, confirming the outcome after the fighters returned safely from the combat zone.
'Israel' comes under deadly ambush
Al-Qassam also revealed footage of a complex ambush carried out in al-Atatra, Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The operation targeted an Israeli unit barricaded inside a house, striking the site with a TBG shell, reportedly causing casualties among the Israeli force.
In the same engagement, Resistance fighters also hit another Merkava tank with a Yassin-105 and detonated an IED under a D9 bulldozer, destroying its turret and injuring its crew.
Separately, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades, published footage of their own operation north of Khan Younis, where an Israeli military vehicle was blown up using an IED assembled from repurposed remnants of Israeli weaponry.

Al-Quds Brigades also confirmed they had detonated a minefield targeting an Israeli sapper unit east of Khan Younis on Thursday, adding to the growing number of tactical strikes against advancing occupation forces.
Hamas: Netanyahu’s victory claims are illusions
The Palestinian Resistance movement stressed that "Israel’s" escalating military campaign is "only deepening its losses and pushing its captives further into the unknown." Hamas reiterated that "there is no solution except through a comprehensive agreement, a path Netanyahu continues to reject."
Dismissing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rhetoric of "absolute victory" as a "misleading illusion," Hamas declared that "the war Netanyahu sought to make endless has become a daily burden," warning that his insistence on prolonging the aggression would ultimately "mark the end of his political and personal career."
These statements follow reports by Israeli media that 12 Israeli soldiers were evacuated from Khan Younis in southern Gaza after a booby-trapped building they were in exploded during an operation.
Most of the injured personnel are reportedly members of elite military units.
