The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Thursday 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. 

The Al-Qassam Brigades also noted that five days earlier, they had targeted a Merkava tank in the same region with a powerful improvised explosive device (IED), highlighting the sustained resistance activity in eastern Khan Younis as Israeli occupation forces continue their ground operations in Gaza.

'Israel' on blast amid discrepancies

"Israel" is facing mounting scrutiny and accusations of suppressing real-time information from the public, following a deadly ambush by the Palestinian Resistance in northern Gaza that was initially misreported.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military confirmed that five soldiers from the Netzah Yehuda Battalion were killed and two others seriously wounded after explosive devices detonated during battles in the area. The announcement came only after Israeli media had circulated inaccurate preliminary casualty figures.

Later reports indicated that the total number of wounded occupation soldiers had reached 14, including two in critical condition, six with moderate injuries, and six with minor wounds.

The discrepancy between the initial and updated figures sparked public scrutiny over the concealment of accurate casualty data, raising further concerns about the deliberate withholding of critical data from the public.

Censorship to control public consciousness

Hadashot B’zman consequently accused the occupation military’s spokesperson of intentionally hiding the true number of casualties, arguing that this is part of a broader strategy aimed at "engineering Israeli public consciousness" by concealing human losses to preserve "civil resilience" amid continued warfare.

The platform compared the incident to previous state efforts to downplay suicide rates among both soldiers and civilians, noting that since 2018, institutions like the Ministry of Health have withheld real statistics, following reports of over 1,280 suicides in a single year, despite official claims of a decline.

Hadashot B’zman further questioned whether Israelis would have known the reality without platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram, stating, "Certainly not from official or mainstream media."
