A statement made available on its Telegram channel stated: "Al-Qassam fighters were able to detonate an anti-personnel device against a number of occupation soldiers, killing and wounding them east of the Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City."
Additionally, the Al-Qassam Brigades made the announcement that they had struck "a Zionist Merkava 4 tank with an Al-Yasin 105 missile east of the Tuffah neighborhood."
On Saturday, Israeli media outlets disclosed information of a conflict that took place between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants to the east of the Shuja'iyya area, which is located opposite to the Tuffah district. A force from the 16th Reserve Brigade and the Yamas unit attacked a group of resistance fighters around one kilometer and a half away from the border fence. This occurred during an assault that was being conducted by the Israeli army. On the other hand, they were ambushed, and fighting broke out inside a residential building, which ultimately led to the murder of a member of the covert squad.
In the aftermath of the conflict, the Israeli military initiated a complicated rescue effort that lasted for roughly two hours. During this time period, troops belonging to the Palestinian resistance were exposed to five anti-tank missile assaults as well as machine gun fire from Palestinian soldiers.
Additionally, Israeli troops were exposed to anti-tank missile and machine gun fire once again, which resulted in two additional soldiers suffering moderate injuries.
As part of its attempts to exert pressure on Hamas to meet its requirements in prisoner swap discussions, the Israeli army has threatened to dramatically increase its military operations in the Gaza Strip in the coming days. This would include the deployment of more reserve units.
