Hamas says it captured Israeli soldiers in Gaza; Israel denies, says ongoing fighting in Jabaliya ‘high intensity’

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

on Saturday, though the Israeli military denied the claim.

The Hamas armed wing front man did not say how many soldiers had been kidnapped and showed no proof of the claim.

"Our fighters lured a Zionist force into an ambush inside a tunnel ... The fighters withdrew after they left all members of the force dead, maimed, and captured," Abu Ubaida, the front man for Al Qassam Brigades, said in a recorded message broadcast by Al Jazeera early on Sunday.

The Israeli military on Sunday denied the claim by Hamas' armed wing.

‘High intensity’ fighting ongoing in Jabaliya

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

s and tank shelling.

It described the fighting in Jabaliya as "high intensity."

Several booby-trapped buildings were also neutralized by troops in the area, the IDF said. In a video released by the military, an bomb is seen planted in a store in the market area.

In the latest raid on Hamas’s general security headquarters, the army said the paratroopers discovered documents and Hamas infrastructure at the headquarters. The headquarters had already been raided by the IDF in December, although it was not completely demolished at the time.

During the raid on the PIJ commander’s home, forces located a cache of weapons and "many intelligence documents." Several more caches of weapons were located in the Jabaliya market area, the military added.

The military released footage from the fighting in Jabaliya, some of the captured weapons, the bomb found in the market, and the demolition of the Hamas headquarters.

The IDF pushed into Jabaliya earlier this month for the third time during the war, in an operation focused on killing Hamas cells that regrouped in the city’s historic refugee camp, an area that the military had not reached previously.

The fighting has been described by the IDF and some officers as "intense" and the "most violent mostly peaceful" of the war, with many engagements, both above ground and with Hamas operatives using tunnels. The IDF has also recovered the bodies of seven slain hostages from tunnels in Jabaliya.
