Soldiers from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion and 53rd Armored Battalion clashed with multiple Hamas units inside Gaza overnight.

Hamas fired anti-tank missiles against the troops, they set off improvised explosive devices and attempted to climb into one of the troop vehicles.

Ground troops directed air and artillery strikes—neutralizing Hamas gunmen.

“While we were stopped Hamas came out through tunnels, we were surrounded by several parties, they fired rockets and tried to reach the APCs. We neutralized some of them,” said an IDF soldier.
