Civilian witness footage this morning from the city of Nablus shows an IDF armored vehicle hitting an improvised explosive device that was emplaced by members of Hamas. The vehicle entirely shrugs off the blast and continues with the mission in spite of what sounds like a poor attempt at an ambush after the fact.

To be clear, I'm stating that it sounds like an attempt at an ambush after the IED goes off. It could also be the Israeli forces deploying some sort of counter-measure device. According to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, no injuries were reported. The vehicle only sustained light damage, however it did need to be later rigged for tow.
