Hamas takes responsibility for a failed attack on an IDF post on the southern outskirts of Gaza City yesterday, while claiming it attempted to kidnap a soldier.
In a statement, Hamas claims that its fighters managed to raid an Israeli army encampment and open fire on troops from close range, “causing a number of them to be killed or injured.” The terror group also says it launched RPGs at Israeli tanks in the area.
“Our fighters attempted to capture one of the enemy soldiers, but the field conditions did not allow it,” the terror group’s military wing claims.
Yesterday, the IDF said that the attempted attack was carried out by at least five Hamas gunmen who had emerged from a tunnel. An Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed three of them as they were approaching the post, according to the military. The other two fled.
The IDF said no soldiers were injured in the incident, and the operatives did not manage to breach the military post.
