The Al-Quds Brigades’ Tulkarm Battalion said they detonated an explosive device by an Israeli military vehicle in the Nur Shams camp in the occupied West Bank, killing and injuring Israeli forces.

“Our fighters were able to lure an infantry force into a pre-prepared compound ambush in the axis of Nablus Street,” the group said in a statement.

“After the force reached the point of death, our heroes, the engineering unit, were able to detonate [an] anti-personnel device, causing deaths and injuries among the force’s ranks.”

The announcement comes amid reports of fierce fighting between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters in the area.
