Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza executed a coordinated ambush east of Gaza City and reported further engagements targeting Israeli military vehicles, indicating sustained operational capacity.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for a complex operation east of the Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City. The incident, which occurred earlier today, involved an initial strike using an anti-armor rocket against an Israeli military Hummer. Subsequently, as a rescue force arrived at the scene, the resistance fighters detonated an explosive device, inflicting further casualties.
In a separate series of engagements, the Al-Qassam Brigades also reported targeting Israeli military vehicles. Their statements included the targeting of a Merkava 4 tank and a D9 military bulldozer with two Al-Yassin 105 missiles in the Jabal al-Surani area, located east of the al-Tuffah neighborhood. These reported engagements, alongside the earlier ambush, highlight continued resistance activity and the utilization of anti-armor weaponry.
