The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, shared on September 11 video footage showing a recent deadly attack from the northern Gaza Strip as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) escalated its strikes on the Palestinian enclave killing dozens.
The attack took place in the area of Jabalia three days earlier. The IDF acknowledged that the tank was destroyed and all four crewmen were killed. The footage released by Hamas shows two of the group’s fighters planting an explosive device on top of the tank, a Merkava Mk.4M, which burned from the inside out after the blast.
Separately, the IDF expanded its operations in Gaza on September 11. Israeli strikes were said to kill 53 Palestinians across Gaza, including women and children.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry, 39 people were killed in Gaza City and other areas in the northern part of the Strip, and an additional 14 in the enclave’s central and southern parts. At least 29 of those killed were reportedly searching for food when they were hit. It’s worth noting that the Palestinian death toll from the Israel war is already nearing 45,000.
Al-Jazeera reported that Israeli strikes destroyed 18 residential buildings in Gaza City since this morning, including 12 in the Shati refugee camp in the west of the city.
In addition to the strikes, the IDF dropped leaflets over the relatively unscathed Al-Naser area of Gaza City, warning that troops would soon take control of the western neighborhood. The assault would be a part of a large-scale offensive in the city that the military has been preparing for weeks.
The IDF announced on September 11 that it has expanded its operations on the outskirts of Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood and the Kafr Jabalia area in recent days.
In a statement, the military said that the 162nd Division’s forces located and destroyed dozens of Hamas sites, including booby traps, weapon depots, and two tunnels spanning hundreds of meters.
It added that dozens of “terror operatives” were killed by the forces and in strikes, including a platoon commander in Hamas’s Sheikh Radwan Battalion and the commander of a Nukhba Force cell who invaded Israel during the October 7 attack of 2023.
Five divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, will reportedly participate in the Gaza City offensive. Among those is the 36th Division, which the IDF said on September 11 had been withdrawn from the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Also on September 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a high-level meeting to discuss the possible “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians from Gaza, according to Hebrew media, which didn’t reveal much details on the meeting.
All recent developments indicate that Israel is determined to go on with its large-scale offensive in Gaza City. Hamas has shown openness for a new ceasefire-hostage agreement, despite the recent attack on its leadership in Qatar, which was largely a failure. However, this will not likely sway Netanyahu away from his military plans.
The offensive will likely destroy much of what is left in the city. Palestinian forcibly displaced will have no place to return to. In the end, this is what Israel is likely looking for.

yeah, you fucking nazis. hitler would be proud of you.
the only thing you’re ‘taking” is bbc in your rear, just like your mom did…lol
this is an israeli propaganda release to amplify and continue the false war claim and justify illegal occupation and genocide of helpless palestinians. i wish no mercy upon foolish israeli soldiers who are also deliberately sacrificed for control of the middle east oil .
these releases are to invoke an emotional responses from all sides to expand any excuse to continue. psy opps never stop during the fog of war ! control the regions energy wealth by any means .
snake oil contaminates and pollutes all it infects .
will you bow in submission or stand in defiance to what you see ?
hamas and pji are an israeli tool, just like daesh… hts has a double-binding: turkiye and salafi arabs…
hamas? an israeli tool? wtf?! just because they secretly and covertly funded their movements doesn’t mean they are in cahoots
israel created hamas. very well documented !
in a way, “us” created nva. but to judge people after their actions are not popular. its possible to create something by evil intent, that turns on its creator.
its the skin color that does it 😂 it make idiots believe hamas brave fight with tank after tank burned are done in maskopi with israhell. oh yes, they want to convince you russia support genocide.
thank you southfront for showing the civilians and the people helping (red crescent those killed together with hind rajab family. red crescent mission is the same as the red cross mission, they work together at the cicr) and what has been done to these places previously full of life.
stop treating hamas and palestinian “islamic jihad” as “heroes”… hamas is a tool of israhell! created and funded by it to destroy plo and yasser arafat and oslo agreements! the only resistance to israhell came from shias! houthis and hezbollah mainly, are organic responde to israhelli/salafi imperialism… zionism and salafism are the oposite side of same coin!
so you mean that all tanks destroyed and khazar and german soldiers killed by hamas are done by a tool of israhell ? very strange…more probably are israhell a tool of the white cannibals, that want to kill the jews. the whole israhell are a german, khazar, russian fascistic colony. anyone that fights it are on the right side. to hell with your “religions”. strange how they enabled mass murder of 200 peoples in north america. fascists are not agreement capable.
the plo was pretty useless in 1982, it wasn’t even destroyed they were just shipped off to bumfuck nowhere in tunisia or whereever.
hamas is shady but at least they know how to fight to the death.
what 45.000? it is more like almost 65.000.
exactly that was needed in stalingrad. now russia looks at the genocide of the jews, like idiots look at witch burning. do you think anyone will believe in your multipolar world, if you dont fight against genocide of the jews, people nr 201 on the christians kill list ? it was of course always nr 1, but the nazis had to name so many people “jews”, before they arrived at the real jews. oh, and you have place the root cause one ocean wrong.
the only real heros are the cannibalistic christians ? thanks for the update on the multipolar world !
the houthis responds to hamas by bombard israhell ? are you drunk ?
you are not informed about newtons laws in russia. and you are so scared of muslims, that some could start to believe you performed “nine eleven” 😂 i understand why iran not wanted a full military agreement. are not arafat dead ? but there are still many palestinians alive, and among them hamas fighting. you are so false, that it looks like “us” and russia are the opposite sides of same coin. quit literally.
