Israeli Unit Falls in Hamas Ambush in Khan Younis

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), aired, Wednesday, footage of the “Al-Farahin 2” ambush it carried out against an Israeli infantry unit in the Al-Farahin area, east of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.

The video ambush dates back to Monday 5 August, when members of the Israeli army were targeted with a “Sajil” explosive device, leading to the instant killing and wounding of all members of the invading force.

The footage revealed the ambush took place in a buffer zone established by the Israeli army, east of Khan Yunis.

A leading source in the Qassam Brigades said the explosive device used in the Khan Yunis ambush was of the “Sijil” type and manufactured while the fighting was going on in the current  Israeli war on Gaza..

The source said the explosive material in the device was extracted from unexploded Israeli missiles and blasted out 750 shrapnels.

He added the remains of the Israeli soldiers were scattered in the battlefield before they were brought together and transported by armored personnel carriers before they were taken to hospital by two helicopters.
