IDF publishes footage of forces detonating Hamas booby trap in Gaza City

The military publishes footage showing the detonation of a Hamas booby trap on the outskirts of Gaza City, which had been identified by troops before they were targeted.

The explosive devices had been located by reservists of the Yiftah Brigade during operations in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City under the 99th Division.

According to the IDF, troops in an armored vehicle spotted several explosives planted along the road they were driving on.

A combat engineer vehicle in the area — equipped with mine-clearing rockets — then struck the site, setting off the bombs which were intended to target the troops.

No soldiers were wounded in the incident, the army says.
