Hamas’s military arm says it has carried out a series of attacks on Israeli targets.

The Qassam Brigades said the attacks included fighting Israeli troops in az-Zanna neighborhood, east of the city of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, killing six Israeli soldiers, wounding others in the same neighborhood and targeting three Merkava tanks there.

It noted that the operation also included targeting – with antipersonnel devices – an Israeli rescue force that advanced to an area that fighters had previously boobytrapped.
