Ahead of launching their ground operation in Gaza Strip, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have shared a video footage from its operation in Kibbutz Be’eri, situated near the southern border of Israel in which soldiers were seen chasing Hamas terrorists and neutralising them within minutes. In the footage, IDF soldiers can be seen firing at the terrorists’ vehicle, killing the driver who then lost control of the vehicle. The soldiers then killed the other terrorists who tried to escape. “Watch this never-before-seen footage of combat soldiers from the IDF’s Shaldag Unit operating to neutralize terrorists and rescue the civilians of Kibbutz Be’eri,” read an X post by IDF. The IDF also claimed that Hamas continues to use the civilians of Gaza as human shields, not allowing them to evacuate. On the other hand, the Hamas-run health ministry on Thursday said that at least 7,028 people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli strikes since the militant group’s October 7 attacks on Israel.Watch this never-before-seen footage of combat soldiers from the IDF’s Shaldag Unit operating to neutralize terrorists and rescue the civilians of Kibbutz Be’eri:In the footage, you can see the IDF soliders firing at the terrorists' vehicle, killing the driver who then lost… pic.twitter.com/qnXcqDSzCV— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) October 25, 2023 Israel readies battlefield, launches ground raid in GazaIsraeli troops and tanks launched a brief ground raid into northern Gaza overnight into Thursday (October 26), the military said, striking several militant targets in order to “prepare the battlefield" ahead of a widely-expected ground invasion after more than two weeks of devastating air raids. During the overnight raid, the military said soldiers struck fighters, militant infrastructure and anti-tank missile launching positions. There were no immediate reports of casualties on either side. The war, in its 20th day, is the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides. The Hamas-run Health Ministry said Wednesday that at least 6,546 Palestinians have been killed and 17,439 others wounded. In the occupied West Bank, more than 100 Palestinians have been killed and 1,650 wounded in violence and Israeli raids since Oct. 7. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, according to Israeli officials, mostly civilians who died in the initial Hamas rampage. Israel's military on Wednesday raised the number of remaining hostages in Gaza to 222 people, including foreigners believed captured by Hamas during the incursion. Four hostages have been released.
