Hamas's Qassam Brigades say they ambushed Israeli forces near Khan Younis

Hamas's Qassam Brigades said their fighters were able to trap two Israeli infantry units in what they called a "tight ambush" in Hamad City, north of Khan Younis.

The group says its fighters then clashed with the soldiers from zero distance and spotted Israeli helicopters evacuating the army's dead and wounded from the site of the operation.
