Footage aired by Channel 12 news tonight shows a large group of Hamas terrorists patrolling along the border with the Gaza Strip a month before the October 7 onslaught.

They are driving in a convoy of white pickup trucks — the kind of vehicles used by many Hamas terrorists en route to massacring over 1,400 people in southern Israel on October 7.

According to the network, the group stopped at one point and stayed for a while to observe the border.

The military correspondent for the Ynet news site says that this was not a particularly unusual incident, as such patrols had been carried out by Hamas on a daily basis since 2015.
