Details of Hamas’ Anti-Zionist Operation in Khan Yunis
The English section of webangah News Agency, citing Palestinian Shehab News Agency via Mehr News Agency, reported that Hebrew-language outlets revealed Hamas militants attempted to capture Israeli soldiers in Rafah this morning.
The attack targeted a Kfir Brigade position north of Rafah. Approximately 15 Hamas fighters launched a two-pronged assault on the combat team’s bunker 900.
The raid left several Israeli soldiers wounded and evacuated by helicopter to military hospitals. Reports indicate at least one soldier is in critical condition.
Israeli Radio also confirmed that a large group of militants tried to infiltrate an advanced army post.
According to the report, the attack occured around 9 a.m., carried out by more than ten militants at a site near Khan Younis.
The Hamas fighters engaged the Israeli forces for over half an hour, firing with machine guns and RPG rocket launchers.
Israeli Radio stated that attackers emerged from one of the tunnels and reached the entrance of an army position, engaging soldiers at close range within zero distance from their base.
The radio estimated that militants aimed to enter the position and capture israeli troops alive.
KAN Hebrew network reported that between 14 and 20 Palestinian resistance fighters exited a tunnel near Israeli army positions and targeted occupiers with anti-tank rockets and automatic firearms firepower.
KAN correspondent Itay Blumental claimed direct clashes resulted in at least eight resistance fighters killed, while others managed to retreat successfully.
He added that the Israeli army responded by deploying helicopters and tanks, shelling areas surrounding Rafah; however, final casualty figures from airstrikes remain unclear. Ground and air forces continue search-and-clear operations in the area.
