The Al-Qassam Brigades announced in a statement that they "thwarted an attempt by the Israeli army to rescue one of the enemy's prisoners in the Al-Bureij camp after a special force infiltrated a location where the Israeli army believed a prisoner was present. The force was confronted, their mission was foiled, and clashes ensued, resulting in casualties among them. Some belongings of the Israeli special forces were seized." In this context, Israeli media reported that "this difficult day brings troubling news, which will emerge in the coming hours."
