Israeli tank, military vehicles destroyed in resistance ambush in Khan Yunis

GAZA, July 03 (YPA) – Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza Strip on Thursday destroyed an Israeli tank and military vehicles in ambushes in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, over the past few hours.

In the statement, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, said, “Our fighters returning from the battle lines were able to destroy an Israeli Merkava military vehicle by detonating two explosive devices left behind by the occupation forces that had been reverse-engineered, in the vicinity of Mars Street in the center of Khan Yunis.”

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed that their fighters targeted an Israeli armored personnel carrier with a “Yasin 105” missile yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, on Al-Mujamma’ Al-Islami Street in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip. They observed the tanker catching fire and an Israeli helicopter landing to evacuate the area.

According to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, their fighters used a high-powered explosive device, the ‘Assef 3’ bomb, to destroy an Israeli military vehicle near Al-Qarara, a town located to the north of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
