Hamas’s militant wing, the Qassam Brigades, released video on Wednesday, May 15, depicting large explosions targeting Israeli forces next to an
UNRWA school in the Jabalia Camp area of northern Gaza.In a
statement several hours earlier, Hamas said its fighters had carried out a “complex operation” that targeted an Israeli military bulldozer and soldiers inside a house. When an Israeli tank arrived in response, the fighters struck it with anti-tank weapons, the statement read.Hamas said the operation killed at least 12 Israeli soldiers, but Storyful could not independently verify those claims.The Israel Defense Forces (
IDF) had not remarked on the incident at the time of writing, but earlier
said it had been engaged in “intense battles” in the east Jabalia Camp area.The video was released a day after Israeli forces
struck an UNRWA school building in Nuseirat, reportedly killing dozens, in what the
IDF said was a targeted attack on Hamas militants inside. Credit: Qassam Brigades via Storyful
