An Israeli force infiltrates the Gaza Strip in women's clothing, assassinates a leader in Khan Yunis, and kidnaps his family.

An Israeli special force infiltrated the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip at dawn on Monday, using a civilian vehicle and disguised in women's clothing.


The force stormed a house, executed the head of the household, who was later revealed to be a leader in the Al-Nasser Brigades, and then kidnapped the wife and her children.


The Israeli army carried out a special operation early this morning in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Walla news website, citing a military source. The source confirmed that the operation took place without any casualties among Israeli forces, without revealing further details about its objectives.


For his part, the Israeli army spokesman stated, following the operation, "We are at the height of Operation Gideon, and we are operating throughout the Gaza Strip."


However, eyewitnesses in Khan Yunis provided different accounts, confirming that an Israeli special forces force infiltrated the area disguised as women, boarded a civilian vehicle, and then stormed a house in the heart of the city.


The force executed a Palestinian inside the house, before arresting his wife and children. It later killed another child as it withdrew from the scene.


Following the operation, Israeli warplanes launched more than 30 raids within 40 minutes to secure the withdrawal of the special forces.


The raids were accompanied by heavy fire from helicopters and tanks, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.


The raids targeted tents housing displaced people in central Khan Yunis and the pharmaceutical laboratory of the Nasser Medical Complex.


Al-Aqsa TV confirmed the arrival of the body of the martyr executed by Israeli forces to Nasser Hospital, where the martyr's identity was announced as Ahmed Kamel Sarhan.
