Palestinian Resistance Operations Escalate: Raids and Precision Strikes Shake the Enemy in Gaza
In a new escalation on the battlefield that underscores the resilience of the Palestinian resistance and the diversity of its combat tactics, armed factions have carried out a series of high-profile operations against Israeli military positions and vehicles across several axes in the Gaza Strip. These attacks inflicted direct casualties and losses among enemy soldiers, amid an ongoing state of confusion and disarray within the occupation army for months.
Al-Qassam Brigades Reveal Details of Raid on Israeli Position in Khan Younis
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, disclosed details of a high-profile raid southeast of Khan Younis carried out by an infantry unit of its fighters.
The brigades stated that their combatants stormed a newly-established Israeli position, targeting guard tanks of the “Merkava 4” model with Shawaz explosive charges, suicide devices, and Yassin-105 rockets. They also shelled houses fortified by soldiers with six anti-personnel and anti-fortification rounds.
According to al-Qassam, the fighters then stormed the houses and engaged the soldiers in close-quarters combat using small arms and grenades, resulting in deaths and injuries, including the tank commander of a “Merkava,” who was fatally shot by snipers.
The operation also included mortar shelling of surrounding positions to cut supply routes. Additionally, a martyrdom fighter carried out a bombing against an enemy rescue force, causing further casualties. The clashes lasted for hours, during which helicopter landings were observed to evacuate the wounded soldiers.
