Hamas’ armed wing has said that it had destroyed an Israeli tank and two bulldozers in an ambush east of the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a brief statement shared by Anadolu Agency, the Palestinian resistance group’s Al-Qassam Brigades said its “fighters engaged an armoured Israeli force in a well-prepared ambush to the east of Khan Yunis, just moments after it crossed the border by a few meters”.

“The fighters bravely engaged with the infiltrating force, destroyed two bulldozers and a tank, compelling the force to withdraw, and they returned to their bases safely,” the statement further noted.
