The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced Saturday the execution of a top-tier operation against Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to details released by the Brigades, the operation took place on Friday morning near the Directorate of Education in the al-Mahatta area, in central Khan Younis. Resistance fighters stormed a gathering of Israeli soldiers and their military vehicles, the statement added.

The al-Quds Brigades operation targeted Israeli military vehicles and soldiers, as well as homes where occupation forces had taken cover, engaging in direct confrontations at close range.

The commander of the operation reported that the Israeli soldiers showed no initiative or response, resorting only to screaming and fleeing without returning significant fire toward the Resistance fighters.

He added that the fighters encountered charred bodies of officers and soldiers, confirming that 40 Israeli soldiers were either killed or wounded, and stated that the occupation continues to lie and conceal its losses as it always does.
