Tehran, IRNA – The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement has revealed details of a "complex" operation carried out by one of its fighters against Israeli forces in Gaza.

Al-Qassam said the operation was carried out recently in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news outlet reported on Saturday.

The group said the operation involved one of its fighters killing an Israeli sniper and his aide at point-blank range.

An hour later, the same fighter wearing Israeli military uniform joined a group of six soldiers, blowing himself up among them. Some of the soldiers were killed, and others wounded as a result, al-Qassam said without specifying the number of those killed and injured.
