The Israeli regime’s ground invasion of the Gaza Strip was abortive in two fronts on Sunday after attempts by the occupation forces to enter the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the south of the besieged territory failed, Press TV’s sources say.
The informed sources told the English-language news network that the Israeli forces were “caught in an ambush” near Rafah on Sunday afternoon and left behind more than 10 tanks.
The sources also said more than 20 Israeli tanks trying to enter Khan Younis were “forced to retreat” on Sunday night.
The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said in a statement earlier that its forces had confronted and repelled an “infiltrating force” of the Israeli military in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Earlier one Israeli soldier was killed when a Bulldozer and a tank tried to make entry. Tanks won't be able to operate in areas with bombed out rubble.
