These images reportedly show Hamas fighters with rocket launchers and assault rifles shortly before they are hit by Israeli ordnance.
The first piece of footage appears to show Hamas fighters with a rocket launcher and an assault rifle in a building after they allegedly attacked Israeli forces, with the images then cutting to what the Israel Defense Forces said was the building being hit.
The second piece of footage appears to show at least one person in a street being hit by Israeli ordnance.
The images were obtained from the Israel Defense Forces on Thursday, 7th December, along with a statement saying: “As part of the fighting of the Nahal Brigade’s combat team in Jabaliya, the fighters encountered terrorists who fired anti-tank missiles at our forces.
“In a quick and high-quality closing of the circle, the squad was attacked by a remote manned aircraft of the Air Force under the direction of the brigade fire complex, intelligence information and the fighters in the field.”
We have not been able to independently verify the claims or the footage.

Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, said on Sunday that mediation efforts are ongoing to secure a new Gaza ceasefire and free more hostages held by Hamas.
