An al-Quds Brigades field commander announced on Wednesday a military operation carried out against dozens of Israeli occupation soldiers and a convoy of armed vehicles east of the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza. 

The operation began with the detonation of a field of landmines targeting infiltrating Israeli vehicles, forcing soldiers and officers to retreat in panic into nearby residential homes.

The commander reported that Resistance fighters targeted the occupation forces inside the houses with a guided missile, followed by a TBG anti-fortification projectile.

“We ambushed the targeted forces and engaged in very close combat using light and medium weapons,” the commander said, confirming that the crew of the armored units, officers, and soldiers were either eliminated or wounded during the operation.

Israeli media acknowledged the killing of a soldier from the Egoz unit in Gaza, while four other soldiers were critically injured.

According to the latest official figures released by the Israeli military, the number of officers and soldiers killed since the resumption of the war on Gaza in March has risen to 30, bringing the total confirmed military death toll since the start of the ground invasion in Gaza to 438.

However, Palestinian sources and independent observers consistently stress that the real number is significantly higher, citing "Israel’s" policy of censorship and information blackout aimed at maintaining the morale of its troops and settlers.

Resistance in Gaza is relentlessly fighting 

Yesterday, the Al-Quds Brigades announced that its fighters successfully ambushed an Israeli infantry unit in eastern Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing and injuring several Israeli troops.

According to a statement, Resistance fighters had booby-trapped a house where Israeli occupation forces had taken shelter. The house was rigged with anti-personnel and anti-fortification explosives, which were detonated once the troops were inside.

When Israeli reinforcements arrived, Palestinian fighters opened fire with machine guns and RPGs, prompting the Israeli military to call in helicopters under heavy cover of fire and smoke to evacuate the remaining soldiers.

In a separate operation, al-Quds Brigades confirmed the destruction of an Israeli D9 military-grade bulldozer using a high-powered barrel-shaped explosive device in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.

Additionally, in a joint operation with Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Resistance fighters destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank by detonating a powerful side charge known as a "Thaqeb" device in the same area.
