Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported Saturday that the Palestinian Resistance factions, especially al-Qassam Brigades are engaging in a "heroic saga" in the city of Khan Younis amid reports in Israeli media about a "tough incident".

Our correspondent mentioned that the Israeli occupation forces faced two heavy incidents in Khan Younis: the first in the al-Zanna area west of the city, and the second in the al-Amal neighborhood to its east.

He noted that rescue operations carried out by the Israeli forces following the al-Zanna ambush were later concealed by missile launches and intense shelling in that area.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that at least three Israeli military helicopters landed east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip to transfer the bodies of the killed and wounded soldiers.

Regarding the al-Amal neighborhood west of Khan Younis, our correspondent recalled that the Israeli occupation military had raided the neighborhood weeks ago before withdrawing and returning again.

He added that on Saturday, five Israeli troops were killed and injured in an ambush in the neighborhood.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced that six Israeli soldiers were killed and others injured after being targeted in an ambush in the al-Zanna area east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Detailing the ambush, al-Qassam said it started when its Resistance fighters engaged three Merkava tanks with al-Yassin 105 shells. Later, when Israeli rescue forces rushed to the location where a booby trap was set, Resistance fighters detonated three anti-personnel explosive devices.

Al-Qassam fighters also attacked Israeli rescue forces and troops who fled the area and sheltered in one of the surrounding houses with an anti-personnel device, inflicting casualties and injuries among their ranks.

As for the al-Amal neighborhood west of Khan Younis, al-Qassam said its fighters engaged a Merkava tank with an al-Yassin 105 shell and attacked an Israeli infantry force with an anti-personnel explosive device, resulting in casualties who were later evacuated by helicopters.

Furthermore, al-Qassam fighters eliminated five Israeli occupation soldiers at point-blank range, wounded several others, and destroyed an armored personnel carrier using a Tandem shell.

In the same neighborhood, al-Qassam fighters destroyed a Merkava tank using an improvised explosive device (IED) planted on its hull from point-blank range.

On its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, said its fighters destroyed a Merkava 4 tank with a Thaqib explosively-formed penetrator (EFP) barrel bomb in the east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces also confirmed that its fighters are engaged in confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in the north, south, and center of the Gaza Strip, announcing that they destroyed three Israeli military vehicles and attacked several positions with mortar shells in cooperation with al-Quds Brigades.

Elsewhere, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced shelling of gatherings of Israeli troops and military vehicles with mortar shells east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military confirmed that troops are engaged in fierce battles in the al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Younis, part of which are face-to-face.

The Israeli military acknowledged on Saturday evening the killing of one sergeant from the Commando Brigade and the injury of six troops, including two in serious condition, during battles against Palestinian Resistance fighters in the central and southern Gaza Strip.

The announcement raises the number of Israeli troops killed since the start of the war on Gaza to 601.
