The armed wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, says it targeted seven military vehicles with shells and anti-armour devices in the Shujaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City, Al Jazeera reports.

The group said its fighters were engaged in fighting with Israeli soldiers in several areas and confirmed the killing of 11 Israeli soldiers, adding that it targeted a troops carrier and killed three crew.

The group also said that there was a clash with the rescue team soldiers who tried to recover a tank crew, which resulted in the deaths of a “number of them.”

An Israeli sniper was also targeted with a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), the group said.
