IDF publishes Hamas bodycam footage, showing group’s methods in Gaza

The IDF reveals footage from the camera of a Hamas gunman, found after a battle in northern Gaza last week during which an Israeli soldier was killed.

Amid operations by the Nahal Brigade’s 932nd Battalion in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood on February 20, a Hamas cell opened fire at the troops from a building, killing Staff Sgt. Avraham Wovagen.

The battalion directed airstrikes on several Hamas cells in the area, including the gunmen that killed Wovagen.

Later in the day, the battalion raided the building from which the attack was carried out, and in it soldiers located a cache of weapons including anti-tank missiles, sniper rifles and handguns, the IDF says. Also among the items was a camera left behind by the Hamas operatives, which the IDF says “reveals the method of firing anti-tank missiles and the nature of the enemy’s activity in the area.”

The video shows Hamas operatives breaking a hole in a wall to later fire missiles through, and surveilling IDF engineering and other armored vehicles in the area.
