Quds Brigades ambush "Israeli" unit inside home east of Jabalia

The Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), claimed responsibility for a series of operations targeting the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement released Saturday, the brigades said their fighters launched a concentrated mortar attack using standard 60mm shells on a gathering of IOF troops and military vehicles near the northeast of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Separately, the group said it carried out a precision ambush against an IOF unit that had taken refuge inside a home in the Tel al-Zaatar area, east of Jabalia refugee camp. According to the statement, fighters detonated pre-planted explosives and used reverse-engineered shells during the operation, which reportedly took place on Friday.

The operations come amid intense fighting across several areas in Gaza, as the Israeli Occupation continues its ground incursions and airstrikes, while Palestinian factions maintain armed resistance in urban and rural zones.
