An Israeli soldier was killed and seven others were wounded in an ambush executed by al-Qassam Brigades fighters in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday. 

According to a statement released by the Israeli occupation's military command, a soldier serving in the 16th Infantry Brigade's 6310th Battalion was killed after an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City. 

The 14th Brigade has been tasked with the expansion of the Netzarim Corridor, which Israeli forces currently occupy, northwards into neighborhoods in Gaza City. However, these attempts have proven costly for occupation forces, who have been subject to several deadly ambushes executed by Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades. 

In this incident, the Israeli military command said that a force had reached a building they intended to search in al-Zaytoun where an IED had been planted on the outer wall, directed at the road below. 

According to an initial probe, a force had entered the building while another grouping had taken position outside. The IED was detonated killing one soldier and severely injuring four others while three others were moderately injured. 

Israeli military rescue helicopters rushed to the scene to evacuate the casualties on Friday. 

The announcement means that 337 Israeli troops have been killed since the Israeli occupation launched its invasion of the Gaza Strip while 696 have been killed since October 7, 2023.

Providing more details, al-Qassam's Military Media Unit said that its fighters targeted a number of Israeli military vehicles in the vicinity of the Star Factory in southeast al-Zaytoun, utilizing tandem rocket-propelled grenades to do so. 

The firing of the RPGs lured an infantry force toward a building that had been laidened with anti-personnel IEDs. 

As soon as the force positioned itself outside the building, the IEDs were detonated, killing and injuring several members of the Israeli force. Al-Qassam Brigades also said that Israeli rescue helicopters were seen evacuating the casualties from the scene of the operation.
