In their attempt to occupy Gaza Strip, the occupying forces, the IOF, launched a large-scale ground invasion called Gideon's Chariots, on May 2025. Ironically, the operation ended with IOF soldiers returning to their headquarters dead or burned. One of the most humiliating incidents was when seven soldiers were burned inside their military vehicles, in their buldozer. [Dalam upaya mereka untuk menduduki Jalur Gaza, pasukan penjajah, IOF, melancarkan invasi darat berskala besar yang disebut Gideon's Chariots, pada Mei 2025. Ironisnya, operasi tersebut berakhir dengan tentara IOF yang kembali ke markas mereka dalam keadaan tewas atau terbakar. Salah satu insiden yang paling memalukan bagi pendudukan ini adalah ketika tujuh tentara mereka terbakar di dalam kendaraan militer lapis baja mereka.]
Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades published a video showing how the military vehicles of the isreali occupation soldiers exploded and caught fire. The occupying soldiers inside burned for an hour inside their invasion vehicle, a bulldozer. This powerful armored vehicle burned fiercely. Other occupation forces attempted to extinguish the fire to save the seven soldiers, but were unable to do so. They had to use mud and sand to put out the fire, but to no avail. The attempt failed completely, and the vehicle had to be towed back to their base in Occupied Palestine. [Brigade Martir Izz El-Din Al-Qassam merilis video yang memperlihatkan bagaimana kendaraan militer tentara pendudukan Israel meledak dan terbakar. Tentara pendudukan yang berada di dalam kendaraan invasi mereka, sebuah buldoser, terbakar selama satu jam di dalam kendaraan tersebut. Kendaraan lapis baja yang kuat itu terbakar dengan hebat. Pasukan pendudukan lainnya, berusaha memadamkan api untuk menyelamatkan tujuh tentara tersebut, namun upaya mereka gagal. Mereka terpaksa menggunakan lumpur dan pasir untuk memadamkan api, namun upaya tersebut tidak berhasil. Upaya tersebut gagal total, dan kendaraan tersebut harus ditarik kembali ke pangkalan mereka di Palestina yang diduduki.]

Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida: "Our fighters are demonstrating unique examples of heroism and daring... and the recent ambushes are a living testament to history, proving that our people's fighters are the most courageous and self-sacrificing freedom fighters in the modern era. The funerals and bodies of enemy soldiers will become a constant occurrence, God willing, as long as the occupation's aggression and its criminal war against our people continue. The enemy government is deceiving its public and ignoring the fact that it is throwing its soldiers into the mire of Gaza for illusory political aims." [Juru bicara Brigade Syuhada Izz El-Din Al-Qassam, Abu Obeida: "Para pejuang kami menunjukkan keteladanan yang unik dalam hal kepahlawanan dan keberanian ... dan penyergapan baru-baru ini adalah bukti nyata dalam sejarah, membuktikan bahwa pejuang rakyat kami adalah pejuang yang paling berani dan rela berkorban di era modern ini. Pemakaman dan penguburan jenazah tentara musuh akan terus terjadi, Insya Allah, selama agresi penjajah dan perang kriminalnya terhadap rakyat kami masih berlanjut. Pemerintah musuh menipu rakyatnya dan mengabaikan fakta bahwa mereka melemparkan para serdadunya ke dalam lumpur Gaza demi tujuan-tujuan politik yang semu."]
Military correspondent for Israel's Channel 14 Hillel Biton-Rosen, citing a senior Israeli officer talking about the Khan Yunis ambush: 'The documentation is shameful, and to say the least, it does not add dignity to the IDF. The division commander was required, according to training, to run over the militants if they got too close, or at least shoot them with the machine gun on the Namer armored vehicle. This is not how a high-ranking officer is expected to behave on the battlefield.' [Koresponden militer untuk Channel 14 Israel, Hillel Biton-Rosen, mengutip seorang perwira senior Israel yang berbicara tentang penyergapan Khan Yunis: "Dokumentasi itu memalukan, dan bisa dikatakan itu tidak menambah martabat IDF. Komandan divisi diharuskan, menurut pelatihan, untuk menabrak para militan jika mereka terlalu dekat, atau setidaknya menembak mereka dengan senapan mesin di kendaraan lapis baja Namer. Ini bukanlah perilaku seorang perwira tinggi yang diharapkan di medan perang."]
Lebanese journalist Khalil Nasrallah: "The footage released by the Qassam Brigades of the Khan Yunis operation, which resulted in the killing of an officer and six soldiers and the wounding of seventeen others, will strike the occupation army's leadership like a thunderbolt. The courage of the Palestinian fighter is beyond description. The fighter who threw the second explosive device into the personnel carrier can be heard shouting as he retreats: 'We will keep striking them until they withdraw.' A resistance with such conviction will never raise the white flag.'" [Wartawan Lebanon Khalil Nasrallah, "Rekaman yang dirilis oleh Brigade Qassam dari operasi Khan Yunis, yang mengakibatkan terbunuhnya seorang perwira dan enam tentara serta melukai tujuh belas orang lainnya, akan menghantam kepemimpinan tentara penjajah seperti halilintar. Keberanian pejuang Palestina tidak bisa digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Pejuang yang melemparkan bahan peledak kedua ke dalam kendaraan pengangkut personel terdengar berteriak saat bergegas meninggalkan kendaraan yang akan segera meledak terbakar: 'Kami akan terus menyerang mereka sampai mereka mundur. Perlawanan dengan keyakinan seperti itu tidak akan pernah mengibarkan bendera putih.'"]
