IQNA – At least 40 Israeli forces have been killed or wounded during a complex ambush by the Palestinian resistance movement Islamic Jihad, it said.

The movement’s armed wing Quds Brigades said the ambush targeted various groups of Israeli troops in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

The announcement was made on Friday by one of the commanders of the al-Quds Brigades, as the military wing is named, various resistance news outlets reported.

The official specified the location of the operation as Gaza City’s Shuja'iyyah neighborhood.

He commended the strikes for “matching the operational terrain precisely,” and enabling the resistance fighters to “control the enemy and its advancing vehicles.”

The ambush included targeting of a home, where roughly 10 Israeli forces had barricaded themselves in, with guided missile.

Roughly 20 more forces were also hit inside another such building with a TBG (thermobaric grenade) that relies on dispersing gas, liquid or powdered explosive.

The strikes also featured detonation of a minefield, which contained six anti-armor explosives, against invading vehicles.

According to the commander, “In this particular operation, the enemy soldiers lacked the ability to take initiative or respond.”

“They resorted only to fleeing and screaming, and barely fired a shot at our fighters.”

The ambush, the commander added, was followed by scenes of “charred Israeli corpses” being scattered around across the neighborhood.

The enemy, however, “lies to conceal battlefield losses” in this case too, he added.

The Israeli military has so far admitted to losing only two troopers, adding that eight more forces, including troopers and officers, have also been wounded as a result of the resistance strikes.

The ambush took place as part of Palestinian fighters’ continued defensive operations in the face of an October 2023-present war of genocide by the Israeli regime.

The regime began the war after Gaza’s resistance fighters infiltrated deep within the occupied Palestinian territories, encircling strategic Israeli bases and taking hundreds of the regime’s illegal setters captive.
