Casualties of Zionist forces in Al-Qassam Brigades' operations in Rafah

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced in a statement: "Our forces, as part of the 'Gates of Hell' series of operations, managed to lure a Zionist force consisting of 10 soldiers along with two military dogs into a pre-prepared ambush in eastern Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, using several bombs. Upon the soldiers' arrival, the bombs were detonated, resulting in their deaths and injuries. Our forces observed enemy helicopters landing to evacuate the dead and wounded. Clashes in this area are still ongoing."

According to Al Jazeera, the brigades also stated: "Our fighters targeted Zionist forces inside a house in eastern Rafah with TBG rockets, leading to their deaths and injuries. Our fighters advanced toward the building and eliminated the remaining forces at point-blank range with light weapons."

Hebrew media also acknowledged that several Israeli soldiers were injured in the Gaza Strip.
