Palestinian resistance forces killed five Israeli soldiers and wounded 15 others in a complex ambush in southern Gaza, amid escalating operations in both Khan Yunis and Jabaliya.
Israeli media reported that five Israeli soldiers were killed and 15 others wounded—some critically—on Tuesday in a complex ambush targeting the Israeli military in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza.
According to the reports, several soldiers remain unaccounted for at the ambush site.
The Israeli air force reportedly intensified its aerial activity over the area in an effort to evacuate the wounded and locate the missing troops.
Details emerging from Israeli sources indicate that Palestinian resistance fighters launched a two-stage ambush: one targeting a military unit and another hitting a rescue team dispatched to the scene.
Israeli military vehicles were struck during the operation, with an engineering corps armored personnel carrier reportedly set ablaze.
The wounded soldiers were evacuated by military helicopters to Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv. Families of the targeted soldiers have been informed, according to Israeli media.

By nightfall, the situation remained tense, with Israeli forces still attempting to regain control of the ambush site.
Palestinian sources confirmed the ambush took place in Khan Yunis and reported that Israeli occupation forces fired dense smoke bombs in the aftermath of the attack.
Palestinian media noted that Israeli helicopters opened fire south of Khan Yunis, coinciding with air raids on the city center.
This escalation comes amid ongoing Palestinian resistance operations targeting occupation forces in both southern and northern Gaza.
The Al-Quds Brigades announced on Tuesday that their fighters had destroyed an Israeli military vehicle with a powerful explosive device in central Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters carried out a complex ambush against an Israeli force inside a house in southern Khan Yunis, firing a “Yassin-105” rocket and an RPG, resulting in multiple casualties.
The building, located in the Old Licensing Area, was then targeted with machine gun fire. In the same area, a Merkava tank was reportedly struck with a Shawath explosive device, followed by another Yassin-105 rocket.
Earlier in the day, the Qassam Brigades said they had killed three Israeli soldiers in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza.

God bless these heroes. Hungry and thirsty amidst a savage blockade and abandoned by most of their Arab “brethern”, they wield simple weapons like AK-47, their home-made sniping rifles and rudimentary explosive devices while engaging lowly savages armed to the teeth and backed by most western countries. Yet, while thousands of “israelis” opted to leave at the sight of the first Iranian missile in a 12-days-conflict, Palestinian fighters did not back down for over 20 months of genocide, spanking the zionists on daily basis to remind them who the rightful owner of the land is.
You do not know what u r talking about, you are totally ignorant. U know nothing of our history, u hate and do not even know why.
You are the only ignorant here. As for your “your history”, I know it very well, trust me. Crimes, blood, theft, rape, ethnic cleansing AND genocide are the highlights of “your history”. I’m very aware of what i’m talking about, and I know full well why I hate zionists and fascists. Since I was a child, I have been watching your kind massacring innocents in the entire Middle-East and beyond just to sustain an apartheid state based on BS, claiming that the real estate agent you are “worshiping” has granted you a land to which you, bums and squatters, have never been entitled. Next time, either you back your accusations with arguments, or just put a dirty shoe in that hole of a mouth of yours.
Deberías estar en Gaza para que Hamas se encargue de tu putrefacta alma
Keep up the good work. Every day there is one less is a bonus for humanity.
you are 100% ignorant!!!
You are taught to hate, from day one, what people have a parade, a little kid on someone’s shoulder, and that kid is carrying a machine gun!!!f!
Yep. In the meanwhile, cute, peaceful “israelis” are teaching their children to love and live peacefully in a world without arms. Right?
Guess what though? For zionists, every accusation is a confession.

You can lie as much as you want. After all, this is a second nature to zionists. However, respect our brains and at least make an effort to make your lies believable.
The bravery, planning , & patience of the resistance will go down in History as some of the most amazing strategists, competent defense units — of ANY that have ever existed. They have learned & consolidated proper force, executed exact attack plans, monitored their pathetic, cowardly, structurally lying enemy, to accomplish victory- against an oversupplied, poorly trained , but egocentric brainwashed “IDF”…with results in a defense requiring attrition – in a land where the only weapons supply appears to be mostly ‘dud’ bombs, realigned & farmed (can you imagine de-fusing a 2000lb. bomb ..?) to carefully annihilate, & perforate the attacks of tanks, APC’s, & drones, along with avoiding
