BREAKING | Hamas’s Qassam Brigades has released footage of its deadly ambush targeting two Israeli armored personnel carriers in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, on 24 June, which resulted in the killing of seven Israeli soldiers. Military correspondent for Israel's Channel 14 Hillel Biton-Rosen, citing a senior Israeli officer on the Khan Yunis ambush:

"The documentation is shameful, and to say the least, it does not add dignity to the IDF. The division commander was required, according to training, to run over the militants if they got too close, or at least shoot them with the machine gun on the Namer armored vehicle. This is not how a high-ranking officer is expected to behave on the battlefield."
