According to the newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth,” Al-Qassam fighters launched a new attack on a military site inside Gaza, following a previous large-scale operation targeting a site belonging to the “Kfir” Brigade, resulting in 5 officers and soldiers seriously wounded due to explosions and gunfire. Sources added that Israeli forces at these locations remain on high alert in anticipation of further attacks.

The military escalation coincided with a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump in Washington. In this context, Israeli media reported a wide-scale Al-Qassam attack in the Al-Nasr neighborhood north of Gaza City, which included firing an anti-tank missile at an infiltrating Israeli force, causing serious injuries.

Military helicopters evacuated wounded Israeli soldiers to three major hospitals inside Israel, while a Hebrew channel indicated that the ambush on Israeli forces resulted in about 13 soldiers killed or injured.

Meanwhile, the Hadashot 301 network reported that the confrontations in Al-Nasr neighborhood were “face-to-face” with Palestinian fighters and described them as “massive and very violent,” with clashes continuing late into the night.

This escalation comes as US President Donald Trump announced a new proposal to end the war, noting he received “very positive responses” from Israel and several Arab leaders, although concerns remain about the failure of any potential settlement amid ongoing Israeli intransigence.
