Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, said that its members carried out an operation in which they managed to kill and wound an Israeli force in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, after luring it into a booby-trapped tunnel. It explained in a brief post on its Telegram account, 'Al-Qassam mujahideen were able to lure an Israeli foot force into a tunnel that had been booby-trapped in advance and blow it up with members of the force, leaving them dead and wounded.' It indicated that the operation took place in 'Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah,' while the occupation army did not comment on Al-Qassam's statement regarding that operation until the time the news was prepared. Tel Aviv usually does not issue official statements or data related to the details of the battles that the Israeli occupation army is waging with the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, contenting itself with updating the numbers of dead and injured, in light of accusations that Tel Aviv does not reveal the real numbers of its soldiers and officers killed. Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip are waging battles with Israeli forces throughout the Gaza Strip, coinciding with the continuation of the fierce war launched by Tel Aviv against the Palestinians in Gaza, with some raids targeting camps for the displaced and civilian gatherings. The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing since October 7, left more than 128,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of hundreds of children.
