Mannequins, sounds of crying on a speaker: IDF shows Hamas efforts to ambush troops
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe army releases a video filmed by troops in northern Gaza, in which a commander details methods used by Hamas to lure soldiers into traps amid the fighting.
Standing near the Jabaliya camp, he points to what he says are child-like mannequins planted by gunmen, alongside schoolbags and a speaker playing Hebrew speech and sometimes sounds of crying.
He says these were positioned in a location in which gunmen tried to ambush soldiers with gunmen and bombs planted inside sacks of the UN refugee agency UNRWA. He says soldiers fought and defeated the gunmen.
“Their goal is to lure us in to examine these things… to pull us into a rigged location,” he says.
