Hamas' Rade’a special security force released footage of the aftermath of an ambush on Israeli-backed Palestinian militants in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, who were likely part of the Counter-Terrorism Strike Force group.

Three militants were reportedly killed in the clashes, while the rest fled back into Israeli-controlled territory, leaving behind an armoured jeep. An Israeli airstrike subsequently targeted the abandoned vehicle to prevent it from falling into Hamas' hands.
