Qassam Brigades announce successful ambush in northern Gaza
In a statement released on Saturday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for a successful ambush against 'Israeli' forces in northern Gaza. The operation, dubbed "Sword Breaker," took place in the eastern part of Beit Hanoun, a region heavily affected by the ongoing aggression.
The operation's name is in response to the name of the 'Israeli' aggression against Gaza which started in 2023 called "Swords of Iron."
The brigades reported targeting a military jeep belonging to the Gaza Division’s Combat Intelligence Battalion using a precise anti-tank missile.
The missile strike reportedly caused significant casualties, although the exact number of 'Israeli' soldiers affected has not been independently verified.
As 'Israeli' reinforcements rushed to the scene , they were ambushed once again by a deadly "TV-3" anti-personnel explosive device, designed to inflict maximum damage on personnel. The device resulted in further casualties, including both deaths and injuries, highlighting the brutal nature of the ongoing conflict in the region.
In addition to the anti-tank missile and explosive device attacks, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched a second strike, targeting a newly established 'Israeli' military position with four RPG rockets and multiple mortar shells. The group claimed these attacks inflicted substantial damage on the enemy’s newly fortified position.
The ambush underscores the ongoing volatility in Gaza, where both sides continue to engage in increasingly deadly confrontations.
