GAZA, Palestine

The Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, said late Monday that they exchanged fire with Israeli forces that penetrated Gaza.

“Our fighters are engaging with the invading enemy forces in southern Gaza. They are actively involved in the clashes, using automatic weapons and targeting four vehicles with anti-tank shells and explosive devices,” they said in a brief statement on Telegram.

“We targeted an Israeli tank and bulldozer with two anti-tank shells," the statement added.

There has been no immediate response from the Israeli side on the announcement.
