This footage, provided by the Israeli Defense Forces, shows a Hamas militant emerging from a tunnel to ambush an IDF vehicle. He gets eliminated in short order, and therefore viewer discretion is advised.

Overhead drone coverage shows how close to the IDF the rocketeer was, meaning his participation in this game of whack-a-mole was probably a snapshot affair.

Official IDF channels tend not to glorify death, even of combatants, and the Hamas militant being shown emerging twice suggests that this clip is a splicing of officially released and not-exactly-sanctioned footage.
