Hamas has issued a chilling warning that Israeli troops will be killed or captured if Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City.
Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades, declared that occupying Gaza City would “cost the enemy in the blood of its soldiers” and increase the number of captives.
Hours later, Hamas fighters ambushed Israeli forces in Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood, killing at least one soldier, wounding nine, and reportedly capturing four.
The Israeli military confirmed it has begun the “initial stages” of occupying Gaza City, declaring it a combat zone.
Experts call the ambush a major setback for Israel’s military campaign, as heavy clashes rage and helicopters evacuate wounded troops.
Since October 7, Israel’s war has killed over 63,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The UN warns that seizing Gaza City could displace nearly one million civilians, further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.
