The Al-Qassam Brigades released a statement providing a detailed account of the ambush that targeted IOF forces in Rafah on Saturday, at the height of “Israel’s” genocidal war on Gaza.
Al-Qassam Brigades said that their fighters successfully drew an Israeli engineering unit toward a tunnel entrance that had been pre-rigged with explosives. The operation began with direct engagement, during which the fighters killed several members of the unit at point-blank range.
The Palestinian Resistance group said that as additional Israeli soldiers moved closer to the tunnel, their fighters triggered the explosives, causing significant casualties among the troops, including deaths and injuries, before engaging two Israeli tanks with al-Yassin 105 shells in a follow-up attack.
They stated that their fighters monitored Israeli forces attempting to retrieve casualties from the ambush site located east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, observing the evacuation efforts in the aftermath of the attack.
