In Gaza, Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, continues its fight against Israeli soldiers who have been carrying out massacres since October 7.

On Sunday, the Al-Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli military vehicle, killing 12 soldiers. The Al-Qassam Brigades also ambushed Israeli soldiers who perpetrated a massacre against Palestinians awaiting U.N. aid trucks on February 29.

In its initial statements, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced that 8 soldiers, including a deputy battalion commander of the 601st Engineering Battalion, were killed in clashes in southern Gaza. According to the latest figures, the number of dead Israeli soldiers has risen to 12.

The Al-Qassam Brigades also shared new footage of their attacks against occupying forces in Gaza.

In the ambush at Nablus Junction in Tel el-Hawa, west of Gaza City, many Israeli soldiers were killed and many others were injured.

The attack by the Al-Qassam Brigades drew attention to its similarity with the point where Israel killed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid sent by the U.N. on February 29.

During the attack by Israel on February 29 at Nablus Junction, 118 people lost their lives and 760 others were injured.
