The IDF releases footage obtained from the body camera of a Hamas operative, moments before he was killed by troops of the Commando Brigade in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
The Commando Brigade has continued operations in west Khan Younis, an area the IDF describes as a Hamas stronghold.
The IDF says troops have encountered many Hamas cells in the area, killing them in close-quarters combat.
In one incident this week, the IDF says troops of the Maglan commando unit encountered and killed three Hamas gunmen, and later found a camera on the body of one.
Maglan troops also raided a Hamas site in a mosque recently, locating a tunnel shaft inside, the IDF says. Near the mosque the soldiers found a cache of weapons.
The IDF also shares footage of the Maglan and Egoz commando units operating in Khan Younis.
