The Qassam Brigades, the military branch of Hamas, announced that its fighters targeted a group of Zionist soldiers who were entrenched in a building in Khan Yunis with anti-fortification rockets and anti-personnel rockets, as a result of which 7 Israeli soldiers were killed.

Israeli forces, advancing deep into southern Gaza’s Khan Yunis city on Monday in the heaviest assault of the new year so far, stormed one hospital and placed another under siege, cutting the wounded off from trauma care.
