Palestinian fighters have returned to Gaza after raiding a key Israeli military base on Saturday, Hamas's military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has claimed.
The group showed footage of fighters storming the Reim military base, which houses the Israeli army's Gaza Division, and clashing with Israeli soldiers.
The base was taken over by Palestinians for at least 10 hours before Israeli forces regained control. The Israeli military claimed they "neutralised" the fighters who were at the scene.
The army also took back another military base near Gaza and other areas seized by Palestinians near the besieged enclave, but fighting is still ongoing to regain full control in some towns.
