The Al-Qassam Brigades said that they set up a trap for the Israeli army near Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli armored force crossed the separation fence, but little did they know that the brigades were waiting for them.
The Clash
When the Israeli army entered the trap, a clash broke out between them and the Al-Qassam fighters. The brigades were able to destroy two bulldozers and a tank belonging to the Israeli army. The enemy soldiers were forced to retreat and the Al-Qassam fighters returned safely to their bases.
The Escape
The Al-Qassam fighters reported that the Israeli soldiers who fell into the ambush left their vehicles and ran away on foot, east of the separation fence. They were able to escape from the fighters.
Israeli Army's Response
On the other hand, the Israeli army said that gunmen opened fire on their soldiers in the Kissufim area, which is west of the Gaza Strip's border fence. In response, an Israeli tank attacked the group that opened fire. Unfortunately, we don't have more details about this incident.
Israeli Casualties
According to Israeli Radio, there were casualties among the Israeli army during the clash near Kibbutz Kissufim. Four soldiers were injured, and one of them is in critical condition. It's really sad to hear about people getting hurt.
Al-Qassam Brigades' Message
A few days ago, the Al-Qassam Brigades released a video message to the Israeli ground forces. In the video, they showed their fighters training to target military vehicles and capture soldiers in case the Israeli army decides to invade Gaza.The Al-Yassin Missile
In the video, the Al-Qassam Brigades also revealed a new weapon called the Al-Yassin anti-armor missile. They showed how this missile destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank in one of the settlements near the Gaza Strip. It's pretty impressive, but we hope that peace can be achieved without any violence.
The Situation in Gaza
On October 7, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched a big attack on Israeli military sites and settlements in the Gaza Strip. In response, the Israeli army started bombing civilian homes in Gaza and prepared for a possible ground operation.
Loss of Lives
Unfortunately, many people lost their lives during this conflict. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 4,385 people were killed, and most of them were civilians. On the Israeli side, more than 1,400 people were killed, with most of the deaths happening on the first day of the attack.
