Hamas Shows Off Homemade Guided Torpedoes

These images reportedly show homemade guided torpedoes built by Hamas.

The footage shows one of the devices, with Arabic writing on it, being wheeled out of a storage area.

They can then be seen being wheeled into the sea from a beach by a number of people.

The word “torpedo” can be seen written on the device in large red letters as the footage ends.

The images were obtained from Hamas on Tuesday, 31st October, along with a statement saying: “Live scenes of ‘Al-Aasif’ torpedoes being directed towards a number of enemy naval targets during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle.”

Al-Aqsa Flood is a term being used by Hamas militants to describe their recent attacks on Israel, with the Hamas leadership saying that the operation is “in defence of the Aqsa Mosque”.

We have not been able to independently verify the claims or the footage.

Anger is growing after Israel carried out an airstrike on a Palestinian refugee camp in Jabalia in northern Gaza.

Dozens of people have reportedly been killed, with Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry saying that 50 people were killed and 150 were wounded.

But a nearby hospital reportedly received 400 casualties including 120 dead.

The Israeli military has defended carrying out the strike and said that a senior Hamas commander was killed as a result.

Israel also said that a “large number of terrorists” had been with the commander at the time and were also killed.

The airstrike carried out by Israeli forces on Tuesday in Jabalia destroyed several residential buildings in the middle of the refugee camp.

Jabalia resident Ragheb Aqal said that the airstrike felt like “an earthquake”, adding: “I went and saw the destruction… homes buried under the rubble and body parts and martyrs and wounded in huge numbers.”

Mohammed Hawajreh, a nurse with Doctors without Borders, said: “Young children arrived at the hospital with deep wounds and severe burns. They came without their families. Many were screaming and asking for their parents.”

The Israel Defense Forces later said it had carried out a “wide-scale strike on terrorists and terror infrastructure belonging to the Central Jabaliya Battalion”, killing its commander, named as Ibrahim Biari.

Humanitarian groups have condemned Israel’s attack on the refugee camp and said that the airstrikes should be a “wake-up call” to world leaders to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has said that over 8,500 Palestinians have been killed so far in the aftermath of Hamas’ attack on Israel on 7th October, which killed over 1,400 Israelis.
