The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Monday that its Resistance fighters had targeted a Zionist force consisting of four soldiers with several anti-personnel projectiles, and detonated a minefield against an engineering unit that had infiltrated overnight east of al-Muntar Street, in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Al-Qassam Brigades operations in recent days
In addition, the Brigades claimed responsibility for two operations carried out on Saturday, two days prior, after fighters returned from combat lines.
In the first operation, fighters targeted a Zionist force fortified inside a house with an anti-personnel projectile in the al-Qar’a al-Khamesa area of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.
In the second operation, the Brigades targeted two tanks with al-Yassin 105 projectiles, setting one of them ablaze, also in the Beit Lahia area.
The al-Qassam Brigades also reported two additional operations conducted four days ago. In the first, a Merkava tank was targeted with an al-Yassin 105 projectile in eastern al-Shujaiya.
In the second, on al-Nazzaz Street, also in al-Shujaiya, the Brigades targeted a Zionist force fortified inside a house with an anti-personnel projectile.
Following the attack, fighters observed the remains of several soldiers scattered at the scene. They then engaged in close combat with the remaining members of the force using light weapons and subsequently targeted a Merkava tank with another al-Yassin 105 projectile.
