IDF reveals foiled body-snatching attempt
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF reveals a thwarted body-snatching attempt that took place two days ago in the southern Gaza Strip.
The 101st Paratrooper Battalion was engaged in a battle in Khan Younis in which several IDF soldiers were killed. At one point in the battle, the battalion’s commander noticed a Hamas cell dragging the body of one of the dead soldiers toward the entrance of a tunnel.
The Hamas fighter dragging the soldier’s body had already reached the entrance to the tunnel when the battalion commander charged the entrance alone in order to retrieve the body. He managed to kill the Hamas fighter, and then to drag the body back toward the IDF troops.
