Hamas claims to have killed and injured several Israeli soldiers earlier this week in an ambush in southern Gaza, Anadolu Agency reports.
The group’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, said its fighters blew up a house on Tuesday where Israeli soldiers were holed up east of al-Qarara town in eastern Khan Younis.
It said several Israeli soldiers were killed and injured in the blast.
Hamas said its fighters also detonated a tunnel opening as Israeli soldiers arrived in the area, with Israeli helicopters seen evacuating the injured.
