Hamas publishes footage of assault on IDF encampment last month that wounded 3 soldiers

Hamas publishes footage from its large-scale assault on an IDF encampment in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis last month.

The military said that troops managed to successfully repel the attack on August 20, during which 15 of the Hamas gunmen were killed — in gun battles, tank shelling, airstrikes, and in one case, being run over by a tank.

Three IDF soldiers were injured while exchanging fire with some of the gunmen in a building they managed to enter, one seriously and two lightly.

Fighting inside the encampment lasted no longer than 10 minutes before the gunmen began attempting to flee back to a tunnel from which they emerged, according to the IDF’s probe.

Despite successfully repelling the attack, the military said it was a failure that the gunmen had managed to infiltrate the encampment.

In all, some eight Hamas gunmen were killed inside the post and in the area surrounding it, and around another seven operatives — who had been launching mortars — were eliminated on the outskirts, mainly by airstrikes. Approximately eight gunmen managed to flee back to the tunnel, the IDF probe found.
