Breaking news: Al-Qassam strikes Israeli forces in Rafah
Get the latest on the escalating conflict in Gaza between Al-Qassam Brigades and Israeli troops.
📣 In your face, Israel! Al-Qassam Brigades reports a bloody skirmish with Israeli forces in the Al-Tannour area of Rafah, east Gaza. The brutal attack claims many lives among Israeli troops, according to Al-Qassam Brigades Telegram statement. The Israeli military later confirms two of their troops to be killed, and four others injured in the raid.
💥 Smash and Grab! Al-Qassam Brigades allegedly decimated an Israeli engineering team near Fida'i Junction by relentlessly firing anti-personnel and anti-armor rounds, reportedly leaving many civilians dead or injured when the house exploded. Helicopters rushed to the scene to retrieve the wounded, claims Al-Qassam.
💣 Bam! Another ambush, this time near the Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Mosque, left multiple Israeli soldiers dead or critically injured, according to Al-Qassam Brigades. The IDF confirms two soldiers from the Golani and Engineering brigades dead, with two commanders and two soldiers critically injured.
⚡ The War Rages On! The latest round of relentless combat in Rafah coincides with Israel's broader ground operation in Gaza, which resumed following a failed ceasefire deal on March 18, 2025. The renewed violence has claimed the lives of over 172,000 Palestinians, with more than 11,000 still unaccounted for, mostly women and children. Meanwhile, Israel records 856 troops dead and over 5,800 injured since the conflict started in October 2023.
🤔 What's the deal, Netanyahu? The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing mounting internal criticism and is alleged to have restarted the military assault following pressure from his far-right coalition allies, seemingly abandoning the second phase of the ceasefire deal as tensions soar.
