CNN reported that Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades said on Sunday that clashes broke out with Israeli troops in Gaza, apparently since Hamas launched its attack on Israel on the 7th. After the large-scale assault, the two sides exchanged fire head-on on the ground in Gaza for the first time.

Hamas stated that it destroyed two Israeli bulldozers and one tank, forcing the Israeli army to retreat on foot. “Soldiers from Zionist forces (Israel) were attacked in Ganyounis and were forced to abandon their vehicles and escape on foot towards the eastern fence.” .

The Israel Defense Forces said that in the Kissufim area, IDF soldiers west of the Gaza security fence were only shot at, adding that “an IDF tank attacked terrorists who shot at the soldiers.”

The Israeli army confirmed to CNN that it was conducting operations in the Gaza corridor.

This is not the first time that the Israeli military has stated that it has carried out missions in Gaza since the conflict broke out between the two sides. On October 13, the National Defense Forces stated that it had conducted assault missions in Gaza in the past 24 hours, but did not mention the outbreak of conflict between the two sides.

The Israeli Defense Ministry stated on the 21st that one soldier was killed and three others were injured during preparations for ground operations in the Gaza corridor.
