Hamas suggests gunfire that led to deadly IDF strike was part of drill
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, says that the IDF strike that killed two of the group’s fighters earlier today in northern Gaza took place in the middle of a drill by the organization’s naval commandos.
The statement appears to imply that the gunfire from the fighters that led to the IDF retaliatory strike may have been part of the drill.
Hamas also says senior leaders in the organization were on site when the outpost was destroyed by IDF fire.
