Qassam Brigades say two 'Israeli' soldiers killed at point-blank range in Gaza
Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters killed two 'Israeli' soldiers at point-blank range last Tuesday on Al-Nazzaz Street, east of the Shuja'iya neighborhood in Gaza City. The group said the soldiers were targeted after returning from the front lines. In a separate development, Al-Qassam stated that on Saturday, its fighters struck an 'Israeli' D9 military bulldozer with a 'Yassin 105' shell near the Yarmouk site in the Al-Manara neighborhood, south of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. These operations come as part of the group's ongoing resistance against 'Israeli' forces, which have been conducting a months-long military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas: Matan Zangauker will not return alive
Hamas' armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, released a photograph on Saturday of Israeli captive Matan Zangauker with a stark caption: 'He Will Not Return Alive,' in what appears to be a direct message to the "Israeli" military. The release of the image came hours after Abu Obaida, the spokesperson for the brigades, issued a statement warning the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) against attempting a military rescue of Zangauker, who has been held captive in Gaza since 2023. 'Occupation forces are besieging a location where the captive, Matan Zangauker, is being held, and we firmly assert that the enemy will not be able to retrieve him alive,' Abu Obaida said in the statement. He added that Zangauker's life had been preserved for a year and eight months, but cautioned that any rescue effort would place him in imminent danger. 'The occupation bears full responsibility for his fate,' the statement warned.

Hamas announces ambush on 'Israeli' forces in Jabalia
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced Thursday that its fighters carried out a complex ambush targeting Israeli Occupation Forces in the eastern Jabalia area of northern Gaza last Sunday. In a statement, the group said its fighters destroyed an Israeli Occupation 'Namer' armored personnel carrier using a 'Yassin 105' shell and a 'Shawaz' explosive device, reportedly resulting in casualties among the vehicle's crew. After an 'Israeli' rescue force intervened and began to withdraw, Al-Qassam fighters detonated a powerful explosive device targeting a military 'Hummer' jeep, leading to further casualties. The fighters then engaged the remaining 'Israeli' troops in a direct firefight using light weapons. The statement also claimed that when an Israeli Occupation 'Yasur' helicopter attempted to land to evacuate the wounded, it came under heavy gunfire from Al-Qassam fighters, forcing it to retreat without completing the evacuation.
