This short, IDF-provided video shows an IDF forces clearing Hamas fighters out of a school near Nuseirat, a refugee camp area in Gaza. Here, we see a wide array of small arms and vehicles being used in the assault, as well as sniper overwatch and a portable anti-tank rocket fired at the wall.

The area of Nuseirat was also home to the “Grand Nuseirat Mosque, which IDF airstrikes destroyed in October 2023. While the incident caused international furor, there has been documented evidence to support Israel’s claims that Hamas uses public buildings such as mosques, schools and hospitals, as well as refugee camps such as Nuseirat, to shield and hide their activities.
