Video shows Palestinian fighters target Israeli tanks in southern Gaza
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic have obtained and verified footage that is said to show Hamas fighters using rocket-propelled grenades and powerful explosive devices against Israeli tanks in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
In one clip, a fighter calmly approaches a stationary Israeli tank and fires a rocket from just metres away, scoring a direct hit.
In another clip, fighters can be seen laying explosive devices to ambush an Israeli tank and a large plume of smoke, which appears to indicate the tank caught fire as a result of the attack.
