Large scale fighting between Hamas and Israeli soldiers in Khan Younis

Israeli media on Wedneday reported large scale fighting between Hamas's armed wing, the al-Qassem Brigades and Israeli soldiers in Gaza on Wednesday. 

According to Israeli media, an Israeli army camp in Khan Younis came under heavy attack from Hamas fighters in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military said at least 18 Hamas fighters were involved in the attack and that three Israeli soldiers were wounded, one of them seriously. 

The scale of the fighting underscores how Hamas is still able to operate in Gaza and launch sizeable attacks despite 22 months of Israel's genocide in Gaza. 

US officials have previously said that Hamas has been able to recruit all new fighters to replace those killed by Israel.
