Despite ongoing trilateral peace talks between Israel, the U.S., and Hamas, fierce ground battles continue in Gaza. Al-Qassam fighters have successfully targeted and destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank near Umm Al-Qura School in southern Gaza City using a locally-made “Shawaz” explosive device.

The attack highlights Hamas’ continued guerrilla operations against Israeli forces, even as Israel’s withdrawal plans face disruption. With an estimated 15,000 Hamas fighters still active in Gaza and 2,000–3,000 engaging directly with IDF units, the conflict remains intense.

The Merkava 4 tank, Israel’s most advanced main battle tank equipped with modular armor, Trophy APS, and AI-enabled Barak systems, has been repeatedly targeted in urban combat since 2023, underlining the financial and tactical toll on Israel’s military.
