Gaza-based militant organisation Hamas on Wednesday released footage of their armed group, the Al-Qassam Brigade, attacking tanks of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in Gaza. The footage showed the Hamas militants conducting RPG and IED attacks on IDF tanks in North Gaza. At least 107 rockets were launched at the IDF tanks, Hamas said.
As per the claims made by Hamas, the attack took place in Netzarim – an Israeli settlement in Gaza, located approximately 20 miles southwest of Gaza City. However, the IDF is yet to confirm the attack. The Netzarim corridor is a crucial military position for Israel in the Gaza Strip. Amid the ongoing war on Hamas in Gaza, the corridor has served as an important base for the IDF. It is not clear if any IDF soldiers sustained injuries in the attacks.

The attack, which was recorded by the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group using a multi-camera setup and shared on social media, appeared to be pre-planned.
