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.

"Israel" airstrikes Beirut's southern suburbs
Tensions flared once again between "Israel" and Hezbollah on Thursday after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) issued an evacuation warning to residents of four neighborhoods in southern Beirut, signaling imminent airstrikes on what it described as underground facilities used for manufacturing drones. The message, posted by the IOF on X, urged civilians to leave the targeted areas immediately, claiming Hezbollah's aerial unit was operating drone production centers with backing and funding from Iran. 'Despite the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, the IDF has identified that the Hezbollah aerial unit is operating to produce thousands of UAVs, with the direction and funding of Iranian terrorists,' the statement said. The warning triggered panic among residents, causing massive traffic jams as thousands attempted to flee the densely populated districts. It marked the first evacuation alert in over a month for Beirut's southern suburbs, which suffered extensive damage during the year-long conflict that was paused by a ceasefire in November. There was no immediate response from Hezbollah regarding the accusations or the planned strikes.
