Shortly after the first anniversary of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, Palestinian Resistance forces in Gaza continue to confront Israeli forces entrenched across various battlefronts, particularly in Jabalia to the north, where the Israeli military launched a new incursion a couple of days ago, despite previous claims of having "eliminated" the Resistance in the area.
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, executed a sophisticated ambush against Israeli forces east of Jabalia refugee camp, resulting in multiple Israeli casualties.
The Brigades managed to entrap a mechanized infantry unit consisting of 12 military vehicles and a truck loaded with soldiers in the ambush. As soon as the convoy reached the ambush point, the Brigades targeted a soldier-laden truck with a "Shawaz" explosively formed penetrator(EFP) and a Humvee with a thunder explosive, while hitting another jeep with a Tandem rocket.
Following the initial strikes, al-Qassam fighters advanced toward the ambush area and eliminated the remaining soldiers at close range using light weapons. Additionally, they targeted a group of soldiers who fled toward a nearby house with an anti-personnel explosive.
As part of the same ambush, the Brigades also targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks with a Tandem rocket and a "Shawaz" EFP after they arrived with a reinforcement unit.
The Israeli military command has admitted that three of the troops targeted in the attack were killed. In an initial toll, three commanders in the Aminisrtative Assistance Unit 5460 of the 460th Armored Brigade were announced dead. This includes three commanders, serving in the training formation.
In a separate operation east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the al-Qassam Brigades struck an Israeli reconnaissance patrol of two vehicles and four soldiers using a kamikaze drone.
Meanwhile, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades shelled Israeli military vehicles stationed east of Jabalia camp with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
In parallel, the al-Mujahideen Brigades released footage documenting their targeting of a group of Israeli soldiers with heavy-caliber mortars in Jabalia, achieving direct hits.
