Terrorist group Hamas released an underwater photograph showing divers armed with rifles who infiltrated Israel last Tuesday (24). The Israeli Navy says it destroyed the invaders, but has not disclosed how many there were.

Faced with the threat, warning sirens sounded in the kibbutzim (Jewish villages) Zikim and Karmiya, located about 2.5 km from the Gaza border. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that the fighter also carried out an airstrike on the complex from which the terrorists had allegedly left.

It’s worth remembering that naval incursions are nothing new for Hamas. The Times of Israel reported in 2017 that after the 50-day war in 2014, the group developed tactics and weapons for underwater incursions.
