The three-minute edited clip shows heavily armed Hamas militants riding on a bike, crossing the Israel border that separates Gaza and southern Israel. They proceed to cross a security booth and enter civilians’ homes – all while firing guns at the civilians. As per the clip, one of the militants blasted a bullet through the tire of a parked ambulance.

The video proceeds to show the Hamas militants breaking into a home where music was still playing – showing the residents may have fled just a few minutes ago. The militants then walk through the home, searching for the residents. As the militants search for inhabitants, the video concludes with the Israeli military neutralising them, capturing the moment as the militant falls after being shot.
This grim footage serves as a testament to the brutality of the conflict, highlighting the challenges faced by Israeli civilians and the IDF’s efforts to counter Hamas’ attacks.
