Three Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades fighters were killed in Lebanon during the implementation of the “Northern Occupied Palestine” operation yesterday, Saturday, according to a statement by the brigades.

The Al-Qassam Brigades revealed, in a statement, that a group of its fighters were able to blow up the border fence and target a control point and then reach an area near the “Margaliot” settlement and clash with the occupation army and inflict losses on its ranks.

The Al-Qassam Brigades added, in its statement, that during the clash, “enemy aircraft targeted our mujahideen so that they would rise as martyrs to their Lord, coming without retreating.”

It was reported that the martyrs were Ahmed Osama Othman from Ain al-Hilweh camp, Yahya Nayef Abdel Razek from Ain al-Hilweh camp, and Suhaib Omar Kayed from Wadi al-Zeina.

This is the first time during Israel's wars on Gaza that the Palestinian resistance carried out operations from outside the border, as several factions from southern Lebanon bombed northern Israel, and several fighters infiltrated and clashed with the occupation forces.

The Al-Qassam Brigades had previously announced the launch of a concentrated missile salvo from southern Lebanon towards Western Galilee, and the border area in southern Lebanon has witnessed an exchange of bombardments since last Sunday, following the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle.
