The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced the execution of a top-tier operation in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah city in southern Gaza.

In a statement, the Brigades said its Resistance fighters lured an Israeli armored force, comprising four Hummer military vehicles and an Amulisa military truck, into a well-prepared ambush on Al-Tayaran Street.

The group added that the force was targeted with multiple Shawaz and other explosive devices, resulting in the destruction of the vehicles and the killing and wounding of several Israeli soldiers.

Al-Qassam engages the IOF from point-blank range

The statement further noted that after striking the convoy, the al-Qassam fighters advanced toward the remaining Israeli troops and engaged them from point-blank range, killing and injuring additional soldiers.

This operation is part of a series of ambushes carried out by the Palestinian Resistance against Israeli forces in Gaza, which have led to the killing and injuries of numerous Israeli soldiers and the destruction of military vehicles.
