Press TV \u2013 July 11, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Eight Israeli forces have been killed or\u00a0injured in the Gaza Strip, as the Palestinian resistance movement says it managed to \u201cshatter\u201d the myth of the occupying regime\u2019s invincibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resistance fighters detonated a booby-trapped building in the southern Gaza Strip, causing the structure to collapse on Israeli soldiers on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Hadashot 2<\/em> reported that the explosion took place in al-Qarara to the north of Khan Yunis City.<\/p>\n

Israeli media said the blast left two Israeli soldiers killed and six others injured, most of them in \u201cserious\u201d condition.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Israeli media reported another \u201cdifficult security incident\u201d in the northern part of Gaza Strip, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas resistance movement, announced on Thursday night that it targeted Israeli soldiers and their vehicles with a barrage of mortar shells in al-Badawi area, north of Khan Yunis.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military announced on Friday morning that an officer was killed in \u201can apparent accident\u201d in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday. The incident took place during \u201can ongoing offensive\u201d in Khan Younis, as troops worked to \u201crig up buildings with mines\u201d, it added.<\/p>\n

Almost two hours after the buildings were mined, an explosion occurred, and Reei Biran, \u201ca team commander in the Golani Brigade\u2019s reconnaissance unit\u201d, was hit, \u201cpossibly by shrapnel or debris,\u201d before being declared dead a short while later, the military claimed.<\/p>\n

The report did not specify whether the so-called \u201caccident\u201d was the fatal al-Qarara explosion that media outlets reported.<\/p>\n

The latest developments came as the Palestinian resistance fighters have intensified their military operations and ambushes against the Israeli forces, as the Israeli Army Radio has said the attacks indicate that Hamas managed to rebuild its command levels.<\/p>\n

More than 20 Israeli forces have been killed in Gaza since the start of July, according to Israeli media.<\/p>\n

Referring to footage of the latest operations conducted by al-Qassam Brigades against Israeli soldiers, Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said the movement shattered the myth of the regime\u2019s invincibility.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Hamas published a video of its attempt to capture an Israeli soldier in the Abasan al-Kabira area, east of Khan Younis. The attempt failed but the resistance fighters killed the soldier and seized his weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAl-Qassam pledged to shatter the might of your army, and today it fulfilled its promise. The image of the [battle] field speaks louder than any words,\u201d al-Rishq said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the \u201chistorical\u201d footage showed the difference between the resistance fighter, who defends his rights and nation with limited capabilities and the \u201cfrightened and trembling\u201d occupier, who is equipped with the most advanced weapons.<\/p>\n

Israel has launched a genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, after Palestinian resistance fighters waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the Zionist entity in response to the regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 57,762 Palestinians, mostly women and children.<\/p>\n
