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.
