Several Israeli soldiers killed, injured in Rafah: Al-Qassam Brigades
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – The Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, announced on Friday that its fighters had killed and injured several Israeli soldiers with a missile and an anti-personnel shell in a house in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
In a brief statement, Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters successfully struck an Israeli unit that had taken refuge in a home east of the Al-Tanour neighborhood with a TBG anti-fortification missile and an anti-personnel shell, resulting in soldiers’ casualties.
The group added that its fighters had seen helicopters landing to evacuate the wounded and the dead.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on Al-Qassam’s statement.
