Four Israeli occupation soldiers were killed in what Israeli media described as a "tough incident" in the Gaza Strip, in confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance.
According to the Israeli news site Hadashot Bazman, the four soldiers, who were from an armored corps unit, were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza.
The report added that at dawn, fighters detonated an explosive device against an Israeli tank crew in the Jabalia area, subsequently opening fire on the tank and its commander, setting it on fire, and killing its crew members. Israeli media reported helicopters landing at Eikolov hospital, transporting casualties from Gaza.
The operation comes in parallel with a shooting operation carried out in occupied al-Quds in which 6 Israeli settlers were killed.
Ongoing operations
This comes as the Palestinian Resistance continues to confront Israeli forces' incursion into Gaza, in a bid to occupy Gaza City.
According to the group's statement, which detailed an operation that took place near Salah al-Din Mosque and al-Zaytoun Clinic, fighters confirmed the strike, which was carried out on August 31, only after returning from the frontlines.
The al-Qassam further recalled that on August 30, its fighters, using a Yassin-105 shell and a Shawaz explosive device on Street 8 southwest of al-Zaytoun, struck a Merkava tank and a D9 military bulldozer.
Al-Qassam has also expanded coordination with the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Together, they have conducted joint attacks on Israeli command posts in Khan Younis, Rafah, and Gaza City, using mortars, anti-tank missiles, and improvised explosive devices.
Israeli military sources have acknowledged the growing effectiveness of Palestinian resistance tactics, noting that Hamas fighters have become "more organized in combat" and increasingly bold in confronting occupation forces.
