Police publish a video showing the moment Border Police fighters engaged Palestinian terrorists in the southern town of Kibbutz Nir Am on Saturday morning, following Hamas’s infiltration from the Gaza Strip.
The officers had received a report of wounded soldiers who were trapped amid heavy gunfire by terrorists near the kibbutz.
Police say the officers “encountered heavy firefights with armed terrorists, while they were conducting searches in order to locate the wounded soldiers.
“Amid the fighting, the officers found a group of wounded soldiers hiding inside a tank.
“Under heavy fire and while eliminating many terrorists in the area, the fighters… rescued the wounded soldiers and took them to receive medical treatment,” police say.
